ABSTRACT African breadfruit seeds were subjected to three processing methods – parboiling, cooking and toasting, and the raw was used as control. The purpose of this research was to extract the oil from the seed and to determine the effect of processing on the oil physicchemical properties showed that the... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT A general analysis of bark and leave of some indigenous wood species was carried out with the aim of establishing whether their percentage tannin content is high enough to be of commercial value. The results obtained from the four species examined, show the percentage tannin to be 12.7%,... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT A table top liquid-liquid extraction unit was constructed.  The project also involved the repair and servicing of peristaltic suction pump, by painting it, replacing the connecting cord to the power supply, refilling of the work out suction plates, teeth and general servicing of the equipment.  The glass absorption columns were provided...

ABSTRACT Perfume extraction refers to the extraction of aromatic compounds from raw materials, using methods such as distillation, solvent extraction, expression or enfleurage. The extracts are either essential oils, absolutes, concretes, or butters, depending on the amount of waxes in the extracted product. Heat, chemical solvents, or exposure to... Continue Reading

CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Perfume is a fragrant liquid made from an extract that has been distilled in alcohol and water. Since the beginning of recorded history, humans have attempted to mask or enhance their own odor by using perfume, which emulates nature’s pleasant smells. Many natural and man-made materials have been used to... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT Bit Plane Complexity Segmentation (BPCS) digital picture steganography is a technique to hide data inside an image file. BPCS achieves high embedding rates with low distortion based on the theory that noise-like regions in an image’s bit-planes can be replaced with noise-like secret data without significant loss in image quality. . In... Continue Reading
