Effect of Drying Method on Nutrient Integrity of Selected Components of Pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata duch.) Fruit Flour
(2017-03)
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 ...
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
development of standard cultivars using naturalised and adapted genetic resources has not yet been done. The present ...
Fluorescent SSR Markers and Capillary Electrophoresis Reveal Significant Genetic Diversity in Naturalized Pumpkin Accessions in Kenya
(2017)
This study was undertaken as a preliminary step in determining genetic diversity of naturalized pumpkins in Kenya. It
entailed allelic patterns, frequency, inbreeding coefficient, molecular variance, cluster and ...
Nutritive Value of Bakery Products From Wheat and Pumpkin Composite Flour
(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 ...
Genetic variation of growth dynamics in maize (Zea mays L.) revealed through automated non-invasive phenotyping.
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2017)
Hitherto, most quantitative trait loci of maize growth and biomass yield have been identified for a single time point, usually the final harvest stage. Through this approach cumulative effects are detected, without considering ...
Morphological characterization of naturalised pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata (Lam.) Poir.) accessions in Kenya. African Journal of Horticultural Science, 12:61-83.
(2017-06)
Pumpkin is an emerging important indigenous vegetable in Kenya, although its sale and consumption remain low, while distribution and diversity are systematically studied and reported to a limited extend. The present study ...
