Aim: The protein content of some infant milk formula was determined using Dye-binding and Formol methods in comparison to the manufacturer’s values as reference. Study Design: The study was an experimental design. Place and Duration of Study: This study was carried out at the laboratory of Chemistry department, Federal University of Agriculture, Makurdi, Nigeria between June, 2021 and December, 2021. Methodology: Dye-binding Method was done by weighing about 5 g of the baby milk samples into beakers and 100 mL distilled water was added and mixed thoroughly. 20 mL of diluted 80% orange G dye solution was added to 2 mL of the milk solution and shaked vigorously. The sample was centrifuged at 820 rpm for 5 minutes and a clear filtrate obtained whose absorbance was then analyzed using spectrophotometer.  For Formol Method I g of each of the milk samples was weighed into different beakers then 10 mL of distilled water and 0.7 mL saturated potassium oxalate was added along with 3 drops of phenolphthalein indicator into the mixture. Two drops of NaOH solution was titrated into the mixture and a pink colour appeared which diminished immediately. About 2 mL of formaldehyde was added and shaken for few seconds then titrated using sodium hydroxide (NaOH) until the mixture turned light pink. Results: The mean and standard deviation of protein content using Dye-binding method are; Peak baby milk 2.49 ± 0.13 g, My boy milk 2.54 ± 0.06 g. For formol methods Peak baby milk has 0.13 ± 0.01 g and My boy milk 0.1 ± 0.01 g. The result showed that both infant formula under the Dye-binding method and formol method was significantly different (p<0.05) when compared to the reference value (1.7 Peak baby and 0.11 My boy). However, values obtained from Formol method for My boy milk was closest to the reference (factory value) only a slight difference of about 0.01 g. Conclusion: In conclusion, Formol method is more closely related to the reference values (manufacturer’s values). Thus, the Formol titration may be used with confidence as a quick test for approximating the protein content of skim milk solids which is typical of baby milks.

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has had devastating impacts on the global economy and public health. This study aimed to assess the level of COVID-19 vaccine acceptance, hesitancy, and associated factors among staff and students of the Federal University of Health Sciences Otukpo, Benue State, Nigeria. A web-based cross-sectional survey was conducted between November 2021 and April 2022, and data were collected and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Of the 150 completed and analyzed questionnaires, the majority of respondents (80.0%) were between 16 and 45 years old. The study found that 58.4% of participants indicated vaccine hesitancy, with skepticism about the vaccine's fast production/rollout and fear of vaccine side effects being the most common reasons for hesitation. Respondents' age, religion, and category were significant factors influencing vaccine acceptance and hesitancy (P &lt; 0.05). The university community has a high level of awareness of COVID-19 but low vaccine acceptance, resulting in high levels of vaccine hesitancy. The study recommends that policymakers and public health officials should prioritize testing and vaccination for job categories with higher risk of exposure to COVID-19. They should provide accurate information about COVID-19 testing and vaccination and implement workplace-based testing and vaccination programs. These interventions can help to increase COVID-19 testing and vaccination uptake among the university community and mitigate the spread of COVID-19.
