— The aim of this study is to evaluate the stability of a cashew apple and pineapple blend juice (25:75 v / v). Various treatments were applied, including pasteurization (92 C, 15 min), aqueous extract of ginger (2.5 and 10%) and potassium sorbate (1g/kg). The physicochemical results revealed that the addition of the aqueous extract of ginger caused an increase in the content of ascorbic acid, total sugars, proteins and minerals such as magnesium, potassium, phosphorus and zinc. The microbiological analysis showed lower microbial counts of the treated samples compared to the control. The different treatments could have an antimicrobial effect. The sensory analysis reveals a general acceptability for all the samples formulated. This acceptability value is higher for the sample supplemented with 10% aqueous extract of ginger. With a view to preservation without chemical preservatives while improving nutrient content, the 10% aqueous ginger extract could help extend the shelf life of fruit juice drinks.

Itaconic acid (IA) is an organic acid. It is used in medicine, resins, agriculture, and polymer production. In the present study, sediment sample was collected aseptically from Vellar estuary, Parangipettai, Tamil Nadu, India. About 1.6 × 102 to 6.1 × 103 colony forming units/g density of fungal strains were isolated and screened for IA production. As a result of the tested strains Aspergillus terreus was observed as the most potential strain. Optimization was done at different temperatures (25–45°C), in different pH (5.0–7.0). The impact of salinity on IA production was evaluated using various salinity (5–25 ppt), carbon sources (1% w/v of glucose, sucrose, dextrose, and maltose), nitrogen sources (0.5% sodium nitrate, ammonium nitrate, and potassium nitrate), and cheaper sources (1% w/v molasses, jackfruit waste, wheat bran, and coconut oil cake). As a result optimized culture condition for IA production was 1% w/v of glucose - best carbon source, 1% w/v molasses - best cheaper carbon source, 0.5% of sodium nitrate - best nitrogen source, salinity - 20 ppt, temperature - 40°C, and pH - 5.5 and incubation time – 96 h. Compared to glucose (0.41 mg/ml) production of IA was high when molasses (0.61 mg/ml) was used as carbon source, it is also economically good. Mass scale culture was done using molasses instead of glucose with an optimized parameter. After mass scale culture, IA production was 6.3g/l.

Optimization and Production of Itaconic Acid from Estuarine Aspergillus terre...BRNSS Publication Hub
Itaconic acid (IA) is an organic acid. It is used in medicine, resins, agriculture, and polymer production. In the present study, sediment sample was collected aseptically from Vellar estuary, Parangipettai, Tamil Nadu, India. About 1.6 × 102 to 6.1 × 103 colony forming units/g density of fungal strains were isolated and screened for IA production. As a result of the tested strains Aspergillus terreus was observed as the most potential strain. Optimization was done at different temperatures (25–45°C), in different pH (5.0–7.0). The impact of salinity on IA production was evaluated using various salinity (5–25 ppt), carbon sources (1% w/v of glucose, sucrose, dextrose, and maltose), nitrogen sources (0.5% sodium nitrate, ammonium nitrate, and potassium nitrate), and cheaper sources (1% w/v molasses, jackfruit waste, wheat bran, and coconut oil cake). As a result optimized culture condition for IA production was 1% w/v of glucose - best carbon source, 1% w/v molasses - best cheaper carbon source, 0.5% of sodium nitrate - best nitrogen source, salinity - 20 ppt, temperature - 40°C, and pH - 5.5 and incubation time – 96 h. Compared to glucose (0.41 mg/ml) production of IA was high when molasses (0.61 mg/ml) was used as carbon source, it is also economically good. Mass scale culture was done using molasses instead of glucose with an optimized parameter. After mass scale culture, IA production was 6.3g/l.

The blended juice was made by using the different combination of jackfruit and aloe vera juice as T0 (100:0), T1 (90:10), T2 (80:20), T3 (70:30) and T4 (60:40) to improve the flavour and therapeutic properties.
Diabetes mellitus as reported by is a complex disorder that affects metabolism in humans and other subjects, affecting several organs in the system. Management of diabetes is challenging and its treatments are often associated with side effects as scientist is increasingly demanding for natural products with antidiabetic activity and fewer side effects [1,2]. In this study, the effect of aqueous Ipomoea batatas leaf extract was carried out in streptozotocin- induced diabetic rats (55 mg/ kg) body wt. for 28days. The continuous administration of extract from 400 mg/ kg body wt. for 28days signifi cantly (P ˂ 0.05) reversed the effects on blood glucose which was initially increased. There was a signifi cant decrease (P ˂ 0.05) in urea, creatinine, and uric which show kidney impairment following induction of the diabetogen. There was signifi cant increase (P ˂ 0.05) in the PCV, Hb, RBC, Neutrophils, Basophils, and Monocytes. While Wbc, platelets, lymphocytes, and Eosinophils were signifi cantly (P ˂ 0.05) decreased. The study therefore reveals that aqueous Ipomoea batatas leaf extract can be used in hyperglycemia management as well as in improvement in kidney and blood hematological functions.
Investigating the bacterial inactivation potential of purified okra (Hibiscus...AZOJETE UNIMAID
The ability of purified okra protein (POP) as coagulant and as disinfectant material in comparison with aluminium sulphate (AS) in water treatment was assessed. A laboratory jar test experiments and Colilert-18/Quanti-Tray method of bacterial analysis were conducted using POP as coagulant in treating river water. The results show an excellent dual performance function of POP against the conventional coagulant, AS in drinking water treatment. It was observed that a marked inactivation of approximately 100% of faecal and E-coli count in raw water was achieved with POP and zero regrowth of bacteria after 72-hour post treatment. However, there was regrowth in total coliform count as a result of the presence of other microbes other than E-coli and faecal coliform in the system. In all cases AS showed a reduced performance against the two indicator organisms achieving only 93% with remarkable regrowth of E-coli and faecal coliform after prolonged storage time in the clarified water. Turbidity removal was also noted to be approximately similar, 92% across all coagulants tested. Therefore, the use of POP in water treatment could improve access to clean water in developing countries and could help in reducing the import of water treatment chemicals.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Abstract
The study was conducted to develop a ready-to-serve (RTS) wine using pawpaw (Carica papaya) and
watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) blend using the following ratio PJ:WMJ, 90:10, 80:20, 70:30: 60:40 50:50 with
sugars, distilled water, and potassium metabisulphite and yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisae). The results of
physico-chemical analysis revealed that titratable acidity ranged from 1.00 to 1.70% lactic acid while pH from
2.00-3.00, total soluble solids (brix level) ranged between 12.00-13.000brix, total solid varied significantly from
1.50-2.00%, and specific gravity from 0.784 - 1.020%. Vitamin C contents ranged from 7.00-9.00x10-4mg/100g
while vitamin B1 content ranged from 8.80 to 10.00mg/100g and Vitamin A ranged from 20.00-24.00mg/100g.
Samples subjected to sensory evaluation revealed that there were no significant difference at (p < 0.05) among
the wine samples with respect to colour, aroma, taste, consistence, and overall acceptability. Findings of
microbial studies showed tolerable no of total plate counts in the formulated wine which is safe for human
consumption. From the result of quality assessments, the formulated wine sample coded 672 was found to be
superior in quality and could be stored at 30 +20C for a minimum period of six months without any significant
changes in quality.

Introduction
Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) is a fruit which belongs to the family of cucumbitacea. The fruit is round with
reddish mesocarp having a lot of seed and is mostly common in the south. There are various species with
different coloured endocarp for example, red flesh, yellow flesh and orange flesh. It contains vitamin B1 and B6,
potassium and magnesium in addition to vitamin A and C which is generally common to all fruits and vegetables
(Abdelwahab et. al.,2011). Watermelon (Citrulus lunatus) is rich in carotenoids some of which include lycopene,
phytofluene, phytoene, beta-carotene, lutein and neurospnene. Lycopene makes up the majority of the
carotenoids of watermelon. Carotenoids have antioxidant activity and free scavenging property thereby help in
reducing the risk of cancers, cardiovascular diseases, arteriosclerosis diabetes and arthritis and protects against
macular degeneration. A watermelon is nominally 60% flesh and about 90% of the flesh is juicy which contains
7 to 10% (w/v) sugar. Thus, over 50% of the watermelon is readily fermentable liquid (Altas, et. al., 2011)
Watermelon is an unusual fruit source of the carotenoid lycopene and a rich source of phenolic
antioxidants. Watermelon contains cucurbitacin E, a triterpene anti-inflammatory phytonutrient, and unusual
amounts of the amino acid citrulline. Watermelon is an excellent source of immune-supportive vitamin C. It is
also a very good source of free-radical-scavenging vitamin A (in several carotenoid forms, and especially in the
specific form of beta-carotene) (Dimitrovski et.al.,2010). In addition, watermelon is a good source of hearthealthy potassium and magnesium. The nutritional profile of watermelon is full array of nutrients, including
carbohydrates, sugar, soluble and insoluble fiber, sodium, vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, amino acids and more.
A serving cup of watermelon contains 12.31mg of vitamin C, 864.88IU of vitamin A 170.24MG of potassium
and 45.60 calories. The nutritional profile of watermelon is full array of nutrients, including carbohydrates,
sugar, soluble and insoluble fiber, sodium, vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, amino acids and more. A serving cup
of watermelon contains 12.31mg of vitamin C, 864.88IU of vitamin A 170.24MG of potassium and 45.60
calories (Charoensiri et al.,2009)
Pawpaw (Carica papaya) is a fruit which belongs to the family of annonace. It is usually oblong in shape and 5 –
15cm in length (Svans, 2008). There are more than 40 varieties of pawpaw with different coloured endocarp for

example, red flesh, yellow flesh and orange flesh. It grows in temperate climate, pleasant in taste and has great
application in the production of food confectioneries such as jam and can be used to treat worms. It also contains
protein (0.6%), moisture (85%) and sugar (10-13%). It is very rich in vitamin A and C (Anon, 2008). The fruit’s
high nutritional quality also makes it an excellent contribution to a balanced diet. It is also a potential source of
natural fruit flavor. Pawpaw also has high levels of potassium, calcium and iron, making it an excellent food
source (Anon, 2010 ).
Presently, a variety of soft drinks are being produced in the country e.g. sweetened carbonated soft drinks, still
beverages containing fruit juice and soda water. Among these, the share of fruit juice wine based beverages is
presently quite small as compared to synthetic carbonated drinks. Gradually, there is a distinct shift towards fruit
juice wine based beverages for obvious advantages of the higher nutritional, medicinal and calorie values over
the synthetic aerated beverages (Svans, 2008). It has been reported that fruits and nuts form an integral part of
the African diet and are consumed as relishes and snacks. Fruits are used in the production of beverages (Anon,
2007).
Wine has been made from almost every type of fruit, herbs, and flowers (Anon, 2007). Also documented is the
chemical composition of edible parts of several fruits such as apple, apricots, peaches, berries, black currant
cherries, plumbs, rosehips that are used in making wine (Anon, 2007). Therefore, in view of the above benefits
and the perishability of the fruits; its conversion into a value added product like wine will be very useful.

Physico – chemical Qualities
2.3.1 Titratable acidity determination
The wine was thoroughly mixed and filtered using muslin cloth. Five millilitres of filtrate was dissolved in
previously boiled distilled water and made to 50 ml mark. 5 ml aliquot of the sample solution was taken and
titrated with 0.1 N NaOH using phenolphthalein solution as indicator. Titratable acidity was calculated as
percent citric acid (AOAC, 2005).
2.3.2 Total solids determination
Two millilitres (2 ml) of the wine was weighed into a dried and pre-weighed glass crucible. The crucible with its
content was evaporated by putting it on a boiling water bath and dried to a constant weight in an oven at 70°C.
The insoluble solids were calculated as a percentage of the sample (AOAC, 2005).
2.3.3 Total sugars determination
The concentration of soluble sugars was determined using a handheld Bellingham and Stanley refractometer
(Bellingham and Stanley limited, 61 Markfield Road, London, England) at 20°C (AOAC, 2005).
2.3.4 Specific gravity determination
The specific gravity of the sample was determined using the picnometer-specific gravity bottle. The
bottle was washed, rinsed and dried. The empty bottle was weighed and mass recorded as M1.The bottle was
emptied, rinsed, and filled with water and weighed, mass recorded as M2. The specific gravity was calculated
(AOAC, 2005).

2.3.5 PH measurement
The pH was measured using a PH meter, digital model EA513-055, ELE, England standardized with
buffer solution of 4.0 and 7.0 (AOAC, 2005). The glass electrode of pH meter was dipped in 30mls of the
beverage sample measured into a curvette at ambient temperature and was allowed to stabilize for sometimes
after which the reading was taken.
2.3.6 Fat determination
This was carried out using the method of AOAC (2005). Clean and dried thimble was weighed(W1)and 5g
oven dried sample was added and re-weighed (W2).Round bottom flask was filled with petroleum (ether4060)0C up to ¾ of the flask. Soxhlet extractor was fixed with a reflux condenser to adjust the heat sources so that
the solvent boils gently, the samples were put inside the thimble and inserted into the soxhlet apparatus and
extraction under reflux was carried out with petroleum ether for 6 hours. After the barrel of the extractor is
empty, the condenser was removed and the thimble was removed, taken into the oven at 100oC for 1 hour and
later cooled in the dessicator and weighed again (W3).

2.3.7 Determination of crude protein
About 1g of the samples was weighed into micro Kjeldahl digestion flask and one tablet of Selenium
catalyst was added .The mixture was digested on an electrothermal heater until clear solution was obtained. The
flask was allowed to cool after which the solution was diluted with distilled water to 50ml and 5ml of this was
transferred into the distillation apparatus, 5ml of 2% boric acid was pippeted into a 100ml conical flask (the
receiver flask) and four drops of screened methyl red indicator were added. About 50% NaOH was continually
added to the digested sample until the solution turned cloudy which indicated that the solution had become
alkaline.
Then distillation was carried out into the boric acid solution in the receiver flask with the delivery
tube below the acid level. As the distillation was going on, the pink colour solution of the receiver flask turned
blue indicating the presence of ammonia. Distillation was continued until the content of the flask was about 50ml
after which the delivery of the condenser was rinsed with distilled water. The resulting solution in the conical
flask was then titrated with 0.1M HCl (Pearson, 1976, (AOAC, 2005).

2.3.9 Vitamin C determination
Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and vitamin B1 content of the beverage were determined by the method of AOAC
(2005).
2.3.10 Vitamin A determination: Reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used
for the estimation of provitamin A content in the juice. 120 μl of homogenized juice was extracted with 500 μl of
hexane. The mixture was vigorously shaken on an electronic shaker for 4 min, centrifuged for 2 min at
10,000rpm and the supernatant pooled. The extraction process was repeated. The pooled supernatant was
evaporated to dryness under Nitrogen (N2) gas and redissolved in 120 μl mobile phase (1% tetrahydrofuran in
methanol). The resulting aliquot (120 μl) was then injected into the HPLC (C-R6A Chromatopaa, Shimadzu
Cooperation, Japan) column with ultraviolet detection (UV-VIS) spectrophotometric detector, Shimadzu, Japan)
at 450 nm. A standard was prepared and chromatographed. Areas corresponding to the standard retention time
were identified and used in the estimation of vitamin A content in the beverages samples.
2.4 Sensory Evaluation
Using multiple comparison tests, sensory evaluation of the pawpaw-watermelon wine blend samples was carried
out by 9 trained panelists. In order to eliminate influence of flat taste, natural acidulant and sweetner were added
to the drink after blending for uniformity of taste. Sensory attributes evaluated were taste, aroma, colour,
consistency and overall acceptability using seven point hedonic scale of 1 to 7 where I indicates extremely like
and 7 indicate extremely dislike (Larmond, 1979).

2.6.1 Total viable count of bacteria (TVC): The microbiological analysis was carried out according to Harrigan
(1998). Plate count agar was used for enumeration of bacteria. A well homogenized sample was serially diluted
with 0.1% peptone water up to 10-6. One ml aliquot from a suitable dilution was transferred aseptically into
sterile petri dishes. To each plate about 15ml of melted and cooled PDA (Potato Dextrose Agar) was added. The
inocula was evenly mixed with media by rotating the plates and allowed to solidify. The inverted plate was
incubated for 48hours. The TVC (cfu/ml) was determined using a colony counter.
2.6.2 Total coliform bacteria: Mac Conkey broth was used for the detection of coliform bacteria by the multiple
tube technique. The medium was distributed in 9ml quantities standard test tubes with inverted Durham tube and
was then autoclaved for 20mins at 1210C.Well homogenized samples was serially diluted (10-1, 10-2, 10-3 and 104
) with 0.1% peptone water.1 ml from each dilution was aseptically inoculated into triplicate of 9 ml sterile Mac
Conkey broth in standard test tube and incubated for 48hrs at 370C. Positive tests gave gas in the Durham tubes
and changed the color of the medium (Harrigan, 1998).
2.6.3 Yeast and Mould Enumeration: Potato dextrose agar (PDA) was used for enumeration of yeast and
mould .Well homogenised samples were serially diluted with 0.1%pepetone water up to 10-6. Aliquots(0.1ml)
from a suitable dilution were transferred asceptically into solidified PDA plates. Samples were spread all over
the surface of the plates using sterile bent glass rod. The plates were then incubated for 48 to 72hrs at
280C.Counting (cfu/ml) was carried out by using colony counter (Harrigan, 1998).
2.7 Statistical Analysis
One way analysis of variance (ANOVA) using repeated measures was conducted on physico-chemical qualities
and mean separation was done with Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT) when significant (p<0.05)
difference were observed, means were separated using Turkey’s test (Snedecor, 1956) and descriptive statistics
was done on the sensory attributes.

3.2 Discussion
3.2.1 The Physicochemical Properties of the Formulated Wine
The result of the physicochemical analysis conducted is shown in Table 2.0. Total titratable acidity of the wine
sample ranged from 1.00 to1.70% citric acid equivalent of the wine. This is similar to the commercial
recommendation of acidity for wine (Srivastava and Kumar, 1998). There exists a correlation between PH and
acidity of the sample. The higher the acidity, the lower the PH of the wine. A similar study conducted by Abbo et
al., (2006) revealed that there is a corresponding reduction in pH as the acidity increased in sour sop juice. The
pH of the wine was below 4.00. Thus was supported by Cole, et. al.,(2000). The total soluble solid was between
12.00 to13.000 brix while PH ranged from 2.00 to 3.00. The pH is slightly acidic, this confers stability on the
wine sample (Ihekoronye and Ngoddy 1985) and the specific gravity ranged from 0.784 to 1.020. This was
supported by Nidhi et al., (2008)
The formulated wine provides a considerable amount of vitamin C. About 27.08 mg/ 100g has been
reported to provide more than one third of the daily requirements of vitamin C (Hou et al., 2001). However,
vitamin C contents of the wine samples were moderate (7.00 – 9.00 mg/100 g). The reduction in vitamin C
content may be due to the effect of heat during pasteurization. The ascorbic also acts as an antioxidant to help
prevent molecular changes caused by oxidation and as a promoter of iron absorption (Wardlaw, 1999).
Vitamin A and B1 content of the pawpaw-watermelon wine ranged from 20.00 to 24.00 mg/100g and
8.80-10.00mg/100g respectively. The vitamin A and B1 content in the beverage is considerably higher than in
most commercial drinks as reported by Collins, 1981. Vitamin A and B1 deficiency is one of the major public
health problems in developing countries, Nigeria inclusive. Thus, beverage will be more welcomed by
consumers who are now more conscious about the nutritional content of what they consume.
The moisture content of the non-alcoholic wine ranged between (94.60--94.99) %. High moisture
content makes beverage suitable as a refreshing and quench-thirsting product which is characteristic of good
beverage. This is similar to the report given by Oshuntogun and Aboaba, (2004).This is comparably higher than
the moisture content of zobo drink (88.88)%, sorghum stem sheath beverage (88.95) % and that of kunnu
84.90% (Agarry et al.,2010; Egbere et al.,2007).
The protein content of the beverage ranged between 0.05-1. 00%. The low protein content may be
attributed also to the effect of heat process involved in its extraction which might have destroyed some amino
acids with consequent reduction in total nitrogen content of the resulting beverage (Oluwaniyi et al., 2009).
However, the protein contents of the formulated wine (1.70-1.90)% was found to be higher than that of the sobo
drink (0.046) % (Agarry et al., 2010).
The watermelon-pawpaw wine has low fat content which ranged between (0.015-0.030) percent. This
might be attributed to the effect of direct heat on fat soluble components of the beverage during the process of
extraction (Adelakun et al., 2009). The fat content of the non- alcoholic beverage is lower than that of sobo drink
(0.15) % (Egbere et al., 2007).
3.2.2
Organoleptic attributes of the formulated wine
The wine samples were subjected to sensory evaluation and the scores were subjected to ANOVA. The
result is shown in Table 3.0, the sample coded 672 was significantly different from all other samples in terms of
colour, taste, flavor, aroma, consistency and general acceptability at 5% level of significance according to
General Linean models (GLM). The beverage had a high rating sensory score in consumer test, thus can be
prepared for commercial purpose to serve as a special beverage with similar constituents as other already
existing commercial beverages.
3.2.3 Microbial analysis of the formulated wine
The result of microbial analysis has shown in Table 4.0 revealed that the quality of the wine beverage.
The microbial analysis of the pawpaw-watermelon wine revealed that there was no mould, yeast and coliform
growth while the total viable count ranged between1.00-1.03 x 10-2. This is implies that the beverage was
produced under hygienic conditions and is safe for human consumption (Frazier and Westhoff, 1988). Therefore,

the total viable count was within the acceptable limit according to Sri Lanka standard for all drinks / beverages
and juices (Ghana Standard Board, 1995). The heat treatment was sufficient to destroy microbial load in the wine
beverage. Carter et. al., 2007 reported that many products that could safely be maintained sterile by a
pasteurization process alone could be doubly preserved by the addition of potassium metabisulphutes. The
sulphites inhibit yeast, moulds and bacteria (Doughari and Elmahmood, 2007). The shelf life evaluation
prevailed that the wine sample could be stored for six months at room temperature of 30 + 20C without any
significant changes in the quality characteristic. According to the microbial studies during shelf life evaluation
microbial colonies were not observed in the sample. Therefore, the formulated wine is safe for consumption for a
minimum period of six months.
4. Conclusion and Recommendation
This research work was designed to reduce seasonal wastage of the fruit thereby increasing their shelf life
through the process of development of juices and beverages.
The physicochemical analysis revealed that pawpaw-watermelon wine is nutritionally rich in protein, fat and
vitamin C, A and B1. The organoleptic analysis showed that sample code 672; 60% PJ: 40% WMJ was selected
as the most preferred treatment based on organoleptic point of view. According to the microbial test, tolerable
numbers of bacterial colonies were found in the products. Therefore, the quality of the pawpaw-watermelon juice
is within the acceptable quality range specified by Ghana Standards Board (1995) for juices and beverages.
Therefore, it is safe for human consumption.
Based on the above conclusion, pawpaw watermelon wine could be regarded as after meal drink,
ready to serve, refreshing drink with higher nutritional, medicinal and calorie value for the populace over
synthetic aerated beverages which are harmful to human health.
