Technical efficiency of tiger nut (Cyperus esculentus
The tiger nut oil compares favorably with soybean, corn, cotton seed, and olive oil and can serve for substitute for this oil in terms of scarcity. Tiger nut oil is a potential source of biodiesel.[6] Tiger nut milk is a refreshing drink, nourishing, and energetic product recommended by expert to be taken during any season of the year, it
The statistical and significant predictors influencing output of tiger nut production includes: Seed input. (P < 0.05) and farm size (P < 0.10). A 1% increase in farm size will lead to 32.06%
Tiger nut (Cyperus esculentus L.) oil: A review of bioactive
The AV and POV of the extracted tiger nut oil obtained using AEE method were both very low, and the lowest POV was only 0.13 meq O 2 kg −1 (Ezeh, Niranjan & Gordon, 2016). The oil with a low AV can save the step of deacidification in the refining process. Tiger nut oil with an extremely low POV of 0.02–0.03 meq O 2 kg −1 was obtained by
In Uyo and other major cities across Nigeria, tiger-nut beverages are sold on the streets usually in pre-used pet bottles like Coca cola, Pepsi cola, Lacasera or bottle water containers etc. which may
Tiger Nut ( Cyperus esculentus L.) Oil, Springer
Tiger nut tuber of the Cyperus esculentus L. plant is an unusual storage system. Recent investigations clearly show that tiger nut is a valuable source of vegetable oils, rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, tocopherols, and phytosterols as well as high-added value compounds (proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and bioactive compounds).
Its iodine and acid values reflect its quality at 76.60 and 0.03 mg KOH/g oil, respectively. Roasted tiger nut oil was found to contain vanillin and to a lesser extent 2, 3-dihydro-3, 5-dihydroxy-6-methyl-4H-pyran-4-one and 5-ethylfurfural as key odorants contributing to the overall aroma of the oil.
Effect of Enzyme Pre‐treatments on Bioactive Compounds in
The quantities of α-tocopherol found in tiger nut oil (except AEE oil) surpassed those measured in a different study involving tiger nut oil with only 86.7 mg/kg . Additionally, it is higher than α-tocopherol in canola (117–125 mg/kg), soybean (64–75 mg/kg) and corn oil (122–129 mg/kg), oils commonly found in supermarkets [ 1 ],
The public heath implication of consumption of contaminated and unregulated hawked drinks has received great attention in recent times. This work investigated succession parameters of micro-organisms and physiochemical characteristics of tiger nut (Cyperus esculentus) drink hawked in Owerri metropolis over a 72 hour period.
Processing and Preservation of Tiger Nut (Cyprus esculentus
indicate that tiger nut oil shows comparable nutritional quality to olive oil, and might be economically competitive as an alternative source of food nutrients (Ezeh et al., 2014). Phytochemical analysis of tiger nut showed trace amounts of alkaloids, resin, tannins, sterols, saponins and cyanogenic glycosides (Chukwu et al., 2013). Currently
This study evaluated economics of tiger nut (Cyperus esculentus) value chain in Katsina State, Nigeria: socioeconomic drivers and implications for food security sustainability.
