Thermal Performance of Four Types of Water Heating Flat Plate Solar Collectors for Providing Process Heat for Milk Pasteurisation
(2012)
Thermal performance tests were carried out on four water heating flat plate solar collectors with the aim to select a suitable one to be used to provide process heat for milk pasteurisation. The collectors included three ...
Design and Performance Assessment of a Low Cost Evaporative Cooler for Storage of Camel Milk in Arid Pastoral Areas of Kenya
(2012)
A low-cost charcoal evaporative cooler was designed and tested for the storage of camel milk an arid pastoral area of northern Kenya.Thecooler,0.75m3incapacity,was made of galvanised iron frame reinforced with wire mesh ...
Evaluation of selected Kenyan potato cultivars for processing into potato crisps
(2010)
There has been tremendous increase in the demand and consumption of potato crisps as snack in Kenya. This has however, not been paralleled by development of appropriate raw materials. Many potato varieties and clones have ...
Microbiological quality and contamination level of water sources in Isiolo county in Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2018)
Water security and safety is of vital concern in arid and semiarid regions of Kenya. Potable water accessibility and supply is limited due to fluctuating climatic conditions and environmental pollution that lower the ...
Effect of heat moisture – treated Cassava starch and amaranth malt on the quality of sorghum – cassava- amaranth bread
(2013)
Gluten-free batter and bread was prepared from modified cassava starch, sorghum and amaranth flour. Heat-moisture treatment (80°C, 18, 24 or 30% moisture content, and 8, 16 or 24 h incubation) of cassava starch increased ...

Cyanogenic content, aflatoxin level and quality of dried cassava chips and flour sold in Nairobi and coastal regions of Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2015)
Cassava is a staple food for approximately 800 million people in the world. However, it poses food safety risks to the consumers due to naturally occurring cyanogenic glucosides. Thirty six samples of cassava products from ...
A Review of Occurrence of Glycoalkaloids in Potato and Potato Products
(University of Nairobi, 2016)
There has been increasing consumption of potato products such as French fries and crisps in most countries as a result of lifestyle change in both developed and developing countries. Due to their generally pleasurable taste ...
Design and performance assessment of a flat-plate solar milk pasteurizer forarid pastoral areas
(2011)
A solar milk pasteurizer consisting of flat-plate water-heating collector and a
1.5-mm thick stainless steel cylindrical milk vat was designed and tested in an arid
pastoral area of northern Kenya.The milk vat had a ...
Modelling of a locally fabricated flat-plate solar milk pasteuriser using artificial neural network
(2013)
The objective of this work was to develop an artificial neural network model to predict milk temperature
of a locally fabricated solar milk pasteuriser, based on measures of error deviation from experimental
data. A ...
