Comparative Study of Dextrose Production from Locally Sourced Cassava, Tigernut and Yam
Abstract: Starch was extracted after sedimentation from seven samples, TME 419, TMS 30572, Provitamin, Tigernut, Boko, Mumuyi and Onitsha. The first three samples were cassava varieties while the last three samples were species of yam variety Dioscorea rotundata. The extracted starch were gelatinized and hydrolyzed enzymatically to produce 250ml of dextrose from each sample. From spectrometer analysis it showed that Mumuyi dextrose has the highest glucose concentration of 0.72mg/ml when compared …

Extraction of Nicotine from Tobacco Leaves used for Animal Cleansing
Abstract: Nicotine is addictive. An average cigarette yields about 2 mg of absorbed nicotine, and in lesser doses of that order, the substance acts as a stimulant in mammals, while high amounts (50-100 mg) can be harmful. This stimulant effect is a contributing factor to the addictive properties of tobacco smoking. Nicotine’s addictive nature includes psychoactive effects, drug-reinforced behavior, compulsive use, and relapse after abstinence, physical dependence and tolerance. Nicotine can …
