Pumpkin is a multi-purpose fruit and leafy vegetable with abundant nutritional value and economic potential as a
food and industrial crop. Cucurbita moschata is the most common, heat-tolerant, better thriver in tropical ...
Evaluation of Sensory Acceptability of Bakery Products Prepared from Blended Wheat and Pumpkin Composite Flour
(Society of Science and Nature, 2017)
The pumpkin fruit of the species C. moschata Duchesne has great nutritional potential, but remains under-utilized in
Kenya. The fruits have diverse health enhancing properties. This vegetable-fruit has potential to be ...
Chemical and mineral composition, in-vitro gas production, in-sacco degradation of selected indigenous Kenyan browses
(CIPAV Foundation, 2010)
Abstract
Proximate and mineral composition, in-sacco degradation and in-vitro gas production was conducted using fifteen indigenous Kenyan multipurpose tree and shrub (MPTS) leaf browse to assess their potential as goat ...
Qualitative, Quantitative and Quality Variation of Naturalized Pumpkin Accessions in Mother and Baby Trials in Kenya
(2017)
Pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata (Lam.) Poir.) is unsystematically produced in many tropical countries and
