  A New Multidentate Fluorescent Chemosensor for metal ions: Synthesis and Fluorescence Response

  By S. K. Degni, U. B. Eke, T. A. Abubakar

  Abstract: We report the synthesis and the fluorescence response to metal ions of a multidentate pyridyl-based ligand in MeCN/H2O (3/7) solution. The ligand was synthesided via overnight refluxing of a ethanolic mixture of 2,6-diamino pyridine and di(pyridine-2-yl)methanone. studies reveal the ligand display sensing response ability in the presence of certain metal ions. It display significant fluorescent quenching in the presence of Ni2+, Co2+, Zn2+ and Cd2+, with remarkable fluorescence “turn-off” response …

  Isolation and Stability Studies of Dried Protein Fractions from Three Leguminous Seeds: Glycine max, Vignaunguiculata and Parkiabiglobasa

  By S. K. Degni, U. B. Eke, H. B. Omowumi

  Abstract: Soya bean (Glycine max), Cowpea (Vignaunguiculata) and Locust bean (Parkiabiglobosa), three of Nigeria’s widely eating foods were exploited for their protein content. Dried protein isolates using aqueous NaOH were obtained, dried and subjected to DPPH stabilty antioxidant analysis at different pH. The % crude protein, by proximate analysis was high, which indicates that all the seeds can support the isolation of dried protein powder needed for the experiment. Soya seed …
