| Brachystegia eurycoma (BE), Afzelia Africana (AA) and Mucuna solannie (MS) flours were blended (%, w/w) at varying proportions: 50:50, 60:40, 70:30, 80:20 and 100:0, with 100% of flours as the control; then analyzed based on the phyto-chemical, functional and proximate compositions. Tanin, saponin, alkaloid and flavonoid values were 4.19, 1.47, 1.49 and 1.15 mg 100 g-1 dm; 3.44, 0.45, 1.34 and 1.13 mg 100 g-1 dm; and 4.1, 0.61, 1.36 and 1.18 mg 100 g-1 dm in MS, AA and BE flours respectively. Increased AA and BE proportions in MS flour increased the swelling index (1.49% -1.76%) whereas AA and BE inclusions (%) resulted in significant () increase in the moisture content of the composite flours (8.3- 14 %). Increase in % AA flour inclusion resulted in... |

| Microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology is a promising bio-technology that utilizes the microorganism in organic wastes to generate electricity. Although human urine has been identified as a suitable substrate in MFCs, its possible utilization in a soil-based Membrane-less Single Chamber Microbial Fuel Cell (MSCMFC) for constant power generation has, hitherto, not been reported. In this study, a MFC was set up with mud as inoculums in a plastic cylindrical vessel using carbon felt electrodes. It was operated for 19 days (456 hours) without extra substrate. Then, the MFC was treated with human urine (as substrate) four times (Days 19, 24, 32 and 36) each time the MFC output stabilized across external loads. A control MFC (MFCcontrol) was made the same way and... |

| The effects of floral location on the physicochemical and thermal parameters of honey samples from Enugu North senatorial zone were evaluated. Floral location had significant effects (P 0.05) on viscosity, electrical conductivity, sugar content, free acidity, ach content, moisture content, density, pH, colour, thermal heat conductivity and thermal heat diffusivity except, F/G ratio and specific heat capacity. Honeys from Igbo-Eze South were more viscose than the rest of the honey samples from other floral locations, with a mean viscosity value at 25 oC (15.58cSt) higher than that at 60 oC (12.63cSt). The electrical conductivity, ash content, moisture content and density ranged between 226.5 - 211.45 µS cm-1, 0.06 - 0.57%, 16.59 – 22.55% and 0.82 – 1.25 g... |
