“…Cooked meat samples (beef, pork, and duck) were comprehensively evaluated for the following sensory attributes: sweetness, bitterness, hardness, and umami. Each item was rated on a five-point scale, with scores ranging between + 2 and -2 27 . Higher scores reflect sweeter and stronger umami tastes, less bitterness, and more tenderness.…”

This study quantified the nutritional components and imidazole dipeptide levels of commercially available meats (beef, pork, and duck), and their effects on taste were quantified via taste recognition devices. Although meat and its products are considered high-risk diets, meat components, such as imidazole dipeptides, exert bioregulatory functions. Further, considering their bioregulatory function, commercial meats’ antioxidant activity and vascular endothelial function were examined. Characteristic variations in nutritional components were observed depending on the type and part of meat analyzed. These components affected the taste and texture of meat. The main imidazole dipeptides detected were anserine (duck meat) and carnosine (beef and pork). Meat with larger quantities of total imidazole dipeptide demonstrated better sensory test results. Therefore, anserine and carnosine effects on taste were determined using a taste recognition device; carnosine alone produced a noticeably bitter taste, whereas adding anserine reduced bitterness and enhanced umami taste. In a few cases, cooking enhanced the quantity of carnosine and/or anserine and their antioxidant activities. We demonstrated the ability of imidazole dipeptides, particularly anserine, to improve nitric oxide production in vascular endothelial cells. This study provides essential information for health-conscious consumers to develop high-quality, functional meat products.

“…This study only looked at "full-dykes' ', that is, high and strong dykes; therefore, there is a need to provide an indepth understanding of the influence of all forms of dykes, including low and weak ones, on food crop production. Yamanouchi et al (2022) & Adam (2008 revealed that arable farming had intensified since the middle of the 18th century, and by 1850, 60-80% of the coastal marshes were used for cereal production and the acreage of winter cereals had increased as well. Natural grasslands were replaced.…”

Dykes minimise flood risks among riparian communities. In Nyando basin, Kenya, dykes were constructed to minimise flood impacts on human activities in the riparian plains. The dyke characteristics could change the rate of silting. In spite of these dynamics, some farmers now use fertilisers as a new way of coping with nutrient deficiency. Several researches have been done in Kenya on the effects of floods on human activities; however, there is no clear link between dyke characteristics like period of existence, length and height and their influence on food crop production. The dykes in Nyando have reduced floods in the region; however, it is not clearly understood how the dyke characteristics influence the food crop. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the influence of dyke characteristics on food crop production. Planning Theory was used. Descriptive cross-sectional research design applied. The target population stood at 34,460 households. At least 384 Household heads were recruited via simple random sampling and a questionnaire administered, while purposive sampling was useful in identifying relevant experts in the field of study. Primary data was obtained by interviewing key informants and focused group discussions. Other tools include observation and photography. Secondary data was obtained from publications and print media, and SPSS was utilised in data analysis. Qualitative data was analysed by coding and organisation of data into themes and sub-themes where generalisation was made. The results from the multiple coefficients of determination (R2) indicated that 45.4% (R2 = .454, p = .039) of the variation in the general crop yield was explainable by the combined change in Dyke Characteristics. The dykes’ characteristics significantly influenced crop production

“…The agriculture industry should utilize clean water to its full potential without being squandered. Irrigation systems should give an amount of water that corresponds to the needs of plants, such as taro yam (Colocasia esculenta), for which water should be kept at a depth of 2.5 to 5.0 cm when new roots are developing and the first leaves appear [19]- [21]. Hence, crops require a specific amount of water, and the existing system cannot supply the correct amount of water.…”

The yam cultivation industry faces hurdles in satisfying the world’s rising demand. Meanwhile, agricultural activities encounter issues such as monitoring systems for soil composition that are not directly integrated with the irrigation system. Hence, this research aims to develop an irrigation and soil monitoring system using NodeMcu ESP8266 for taro yam cultivation. A soil composition and irrigation device were developed using NodeMcu ESP8266 to control the irrigation system autonomously. Then, the real-time monitoring systems using Blynk 2.0 was designed. The final method is used to test the irrigation and soil monitoring system in a taro yam growing area. The results show that the irrigation and soil monitoring system reduced water usage by about 32.5%, as the 3.6 liters of water used daily before applying the irrigation and soil monitoring device was reduced to 2.43 liters per day. In conclusion, the developed device can conveniently display the ambient air’s humidity, temperature, and soil moisture conditions on smartphones and desktops. In addition, this system can maintain soil moisture according to a set value, which can prevent excessive water use for taro yam cultivation.
