Non-volatile acidity, pH, proteolysis, sugars (total, reducing and non-reducing) and FFAs concentrations were analysed using standard methods. Increasing PS consistently decreased the non-volatile acidity with concomitant increase in pH during fermentation of the beans. Fermentation decreased the pH of the unstored beans from 6.7 to 4.9 within the first 4 days and then increased slightly again to 5.3 by the sixth day. Protein, total sugars and non-reducing sugars decreased significantly (p < 0.05) during fermentation, whereas reducing sugars and FFA increased. PS increased the FFA levels, reduced the protein content but did not have any effect on the sugars.

Title A name given to the resource Quality attributes of dark chocolates formulated with palm sap-based sugar as nutritious and natural alternative sweetener Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Arifin Dwi Saputro, Davy Van de Walle, Roger Philip Aidoo, Michael Amoafo Mensah, Claudia Delbaere, Nathalie De Clercq, Jim Van Durme, Koen Dewettinck Description An account of the resource Consumer demand for healthier alternative sweeteners and attempts to replace the most common sweetener used in chocolate, namely sucrose, continue to increase in recent times. One sucrose alternative that has not been fully explored in chocolate is palm sap-based sugar. This work investigated the impact of sucrose replacement by coconut sugar (CCS1 and CCS2) and palm sugar (CPS1, CPS2 and CPS3) on the quality attributes of dark chocolate, more particularly colour, hardness, flow behaviour and aroma profile. The results showed that chocolates formulated with palm sap-based sugar were lighter in colour and harder than the reference chocolate made with sucrose, which could be attributed to a lower particle density and a higher moisture of palm sap-based sugar than that of sucrose.

Title A name given to the resource Exploring mobile social networking sites continuance intention from the perspective of network externalities and mobile value Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource George Oppong Appiagyei Ampong, Aseda Mensah, Kwabena G Boakye, Grace Simpson, Kwame Simpe Ofori, John Agyekum Addae Description An account of the resource Key shifts in the nature and characteristics of technology have led to evolutions in social media usage. For the first time in history, the internet is being accessed from more mobile devices than desktop computers. This revolution is especially felt among social networking sites, many of whom have presciently developed and released mobile applications of their platforms. Drawing from the Perceived Value Theory, Network Externalities and the Expectation Confirmation Theory of IS Continuance, we tested a model that sought to explain the effect of Network Externalities on Perceived Value and in turn Continuance Intention. Data was collected from 452 students from a university in Ghana and analyzed using the Partial Least Square approach to Structural Equation Modeling. Results from the current study showed that Referent Network Size and Perceived Complementarity had significant effects on both Utilitarian and Hedonic Value as well as Satisfaction. Hedonic Value, Utilitarian Value and Satisfaction in turn were found to be significant predictors of Continuance Intention. In all, the model accounted for 58.0% of the variance in continuance intention. The implications and limitations of the current study are discussed, and directions for future research proposed.

Title A name given to the resource Assessing long run asymmetric effect of urbanization, fossil energy consumption and regulatory quality on environmental degradation in the Black Sea Region: A dynamic analysis Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Kwaku Addai, Dervis Kirikkaleli, George Oppong Appiagyei Ampong, Mohamed Yufenyuy Description An account of the resource Sustainable development policies of the Black Sea Region is vital to European Union given increasing environmental disturbances by dynamic and heterogenous factors across the enclave beginning from 1990s. This study assesses long run asymmetric effect of urbanization, energy consumption and regulatory quality on environmental degradation, with data from 1998Q1 to 2017Q4. First pooled mean group (PMG) estimates suggest short-run nonlinear and asymmetric effects of the independent variables on carbons emissions. Second, (i) long-run PMG estimates indicate improvements in regulatory quality reduces carbon dioxide emissions; (ii) increases in both urbanization and fossil energy consumption lead to corresponding rise in carbon dioxide emissions.

Title A name given to the resource Examining the marketing-corporate social responsibility nexus Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Robert Ebo Hinson Description An account of the resource Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine how corporate social responsibility is incorporated into marketing strategy for a leading telecommunications firm (MTN) in Ghana. The paper examines the corporate social responsibility practices of this firm by focussing on various dimensions of stakeholder interests, norms and values. Design/methodology/approach – A conceptual framework was adopted from the extant literature and used as the basis for the single case study analysis. The authors interviewed senior management of the company and also analysed corporate social responsibility (CSR) information posted on the company’s website. Findings – MTN has a strong commitment to social responsibility programmes. A separate independent unit, dubbed, “MTN Foundation”, has been established with its own Board of Directors and management team to manage CSR-related programmes. However, there seems to be lack of coordination of activities of other departments such as marketing and human resources which are of equal interest to major stakeholders. Again, in an effort to identify stakeholders’ interests, there appears to be a lack of a proactive approach in examining the actual needs of prospective beneficiaries of CSR programmes of the company. Originality/value – The paper serves as a guide to managers in the planning and implementation of social responsibility programmes within the context of developing countries and also adds to the relatively parsimonious literature on CSR practices of firms operating in Africa.

Title A name given to the resource Changes in total polyphenols, o-diphenols and anthocyanin concentrations during fermentation of pulp pre-conditioned cocoa (Theobroma cacao) beans Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource EO Afoakwa, J Quao, FS Takrama, AS Budu, FK Saalia Description An account of the resource Investigations were conducted to elucidate changes in total polyphenols, o-diphenols and anthocyanin concentrations during fermentation of pulp preconditioned Ghanaian cocoa beans. A 4x4 factorial experiment was conducted with the principal factors as pod storage and fermentation time, and samples were analyzed using standard analytical methods. Results showed that total polyphenol, o-diphenols and anthocyanin content of beans from the unstored pods were 180.87 mg/g, 24.17 mg/g, and 15.68 mg/kg respectively. Reductions in the concentrations of total polyphenols, o-diphenol and anthocyanin composition of the cocoa beans occurred with increasing pod storage and fermentation time. However, the rates of decreases were more dependent of fermentation time than on pod storage. Both total polyphenol and o-diphenol content reduced only slightly (< 10%) in the beans fermented for 6 days after 7 days … Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2012 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=EZuX1N8AAAAJ&pagesize=80&citation_for_view=EZuX1N8AAAAJ:ULOm3_A8WrAC Language A language of the resource English https://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/942248a29b1690104e17e9b4ad2d0960.pdf d3382dbd1cd1754d7657342c905c2b21 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Investors are using stocks selected on an environmental, social, and governance (ESG) basis to mitigate the unavoidable risks of investing in assets during these times of pandemic and war. In an integrated global financial system, we sought to explore the connectedness, if any, between the returns on the Bourse Régionale des Valeurs Mobilières (BRVM) and ESG-based stocks. Using a time-varying parameter vector autoregression (TVP-VAR) to analyze daily returns from 12 March 2013 to 4 April 2022, we find categorically that ESG-based stocks and BRVM stocks are connected, with ESG-based stocks dominating the network connectedness.

Title A name given to the resource Chemical composition and cyanogenic potential of traditional and high yielding CMD resistant cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) varieties Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource DB Nyirendah, EO Afoakwa, C Asiedu, AS Budu, L Chiwona-Karltun Description An account of the resource High yielding cassava mosaic disease (CMD) resistant cassava varieties have been developed by the Crop Research Institute of Ghana with distinct chemical composition and cyanogenic glucoside concentrations. This study characterized these improved varieties (Ampong, Broni bankye, Sika and Otuhia) together with some traditional varieties (Amakuma and Bankye fitaa) for their nutritional properties and cyanogenic potential (toxicity). The proximate composition, mineral content and cyanogenic potential were determined using standard methods. The different cultivars had moisture content (33.14-45.86%), protein (1.17–3.48%), ash (1.71–2.34%), crude fibre (1.38-3.20%), fat (0.74-1.49%) and carbohydrate (83.42-87.35%) and these varied significantly among cultivars. Mineral contents were 0.60-1.60, 1.35-1.58 and 1.06-2.13 mg/100g for Ca, Mg and P respectively, and 0.16-0.24, 0.021-0.030, 0.04-0.13, 0.25-0.36 and 0.25-0.37 mg/100g for Fe, Mn, Zn, K and Na respectively. Cyanogenic potential ranged from 0.08-0.12 mgHCN/kg. Wide variations exist in chemical composition of the improved and traditional cassava cultivars but all possess safe levels of cyanogenic potential and thus safe for human consumption.
