“…The mean moisture content observed during this study were not significantly different from the 70.7 observed by Achaglinkame et al (2020) but lower than that 82.96±2.12 observed in the studies of the proximate and mineral composition of snail (Achatina achatina) by Felix et al (2013). Low moisture content in the sample is desirable, as this will positively impact on its stability during storage.…”

This study was undertaken to determine the proximate and mineral composition of Pelusios castaneus (West African-mud turtle) so as to contribute to the availability of data in Nigeria. A total of thirteen (13) male and female each of African mud turtle (Pelusios casteneus) were purchased in Benin City, Nigeria. Specimen were identified to species level, stunned and slaughtered; then each of the turtle were dissected into flanges and Microwave digestion system (Closed Vessels Acid Digestion – MARS System - CEM) procedure was used for the digestion of all the samples based on organic extraction technique before the proximate composition and the mineral contents of the flesh were determined using AOAC methods and standard technique. Data were analyzed using SPSS (version 21) and statistically using ANOVA and DMRT. Result shows that there were significant variations in the different parameters studied; the highest and lowest moisture content values of 67.00% and 52.56% were observed in the male and female respectively. Highest crude protein and lipid values of 26.78% and 15.00%, were observed in the female respectively; while the highest ash content value of 11.33% was observed in the male. While the mean mineral concentrations in the flesh varied among the different elements studied, the overall potassium had the highest value of 4030.82mg while the least value was observed in magnesium (871.04mg). Though Pelusios castaneus has been culturally important to Nigerians, the finding shows that the flesh is a valuable source of mineral elements and proximate components required in diet. Domestication in Nigeria is therefore encouraged to make them commercially available to reduce the pressure on their harvest from the wild thus preventing their going into extinction.

“…The participants were asked to evaluate overall acceptability, appearance (colour, brightness, size and shape), firmness (compression resistance) and sweetness (intensity of sweetness) of the treated samples. These sensorial attributes were evaluated using a 5‐point hedonic scale (Wireko‐Manu et al ., 2016; Achaglinkame et al ., 2020) ranging from "dislike" to "like very much". Each evaluator received two samples placed in plastic containers (coated and uncoated).…”

The objective of the present work was to evaluate the combined effect of the application of edible coatings (sodium alginate and low methoxyl pectin) and different osmotic dehydration conditions (sucrose solution: 40 and 60 °Brix, temperatures: 20 and 40°C and times: 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16 h) on pear cubes (water loss, solid gain, performance ratio, the total colour differences, mechanical properties, phenolic content and sensory analysis). The results indicated that samples coated with low methoxyl pectin and treated under 60 °Brix for 16 h at both temperatures (20 and 40°C) presented the best process performance. Statistical analysis showed that the application of the coatings resulted in greater firmness and stiffness of the pear cubes at the end of osmotic dehydration. Besides, alginate coating best preserved the phenolic content (31.4%) than uncoated (26.04%) and pectin-coated (20.77%) ones. However, total colour differences were not improved with the use of edible coatings (alginate or pectin). In terms of quality, the samples coated with both hydrogels had good overall acceptability by the evaluators and good mechanical properties. However, further studies are required to decrease the difference in colour and leaching of bioactive compounds in pear cubes due to the osmotic dehydration treatment.

“…This difference is influenced by the storage time and sample drying time (Karim, 2015). The water content of the sample will decrease with an increasing drying time (Achaglinkame et al, 2019). On the other hand, the P. ampullacea feed obtained a water content of 10.49%.…”

The freshwater fishery commodity that ranks at the top in total production in Indonesia, and its high domestic consumption, is catfish (Clarias sp.). One of the efforts to provide alternative feeds is by using rice field snails (Pila ampullacea) due to their high protein content. This study aims to determine the content of P. ampullacea feed and its application as an alternative protein source in export-quality Clarias sp. The feed was prepared by combining P.ampullacea flour, rice bran, and corn flour in a ratio of 3:1:1. Analysis of water content was conducted using the weight reduction method, ash content using the ashing method, protein content using the Kjeldahl method, and fat content using the soxhletation method. The analysis results showed that P. ampullacea had water content of 7.97%, ash content of 10.36%, protein content of 50.17%, and fat content of 4.16%. Meanwhile, the P.ampullacea feed had water content of 10.49%, ash content of 8.26%, protein content of 48.74%, and fat content of 3.6%. The results indicated that the application of P.ampullacea to Clarias sp. led to an increase in protein and fat content every week, the levels found in the commercial feed used.
