A 3 x 2 x 2 factorial experiment with fermentation time (0, 24, 48 hours), cowpea (0 and 15%) and alkaline treatment (nixtamalized and non-nixtamalized corn) was used. The blends were dried using a cabinet drier, milled into flour and spices added…

The response surface methodology and central composite rotatable design for K=3 was used to investigate the combined effects of ripening, salting and duration of fermentation on total viable cells (TVC) load, sodium chloride (NaCl) and histamine…

This study investigated mycotoxin concentrations in fermented sun-dried cocoa beans as affected by cola nut powder and cola nut extract using a 2 × 4 full factorial experimental design with treatment type (cola nut powder; cola nut extract) and…
