Occurrence of Aflatoxin Levels in Harvest and Stored Groundnut Kernels in Kad...iosrjce
The occurrence of moulds and aflatoxins in groundnut kernels are of great concern to food
processors and consumers because of their ability to cause spoilage resulting to economic losses and public
health problem such as aflatoxicosis. This study was aimed at determining the presence of Aspergillus species
and aflatoxin levels in fresh harvested and stored groundnuts kernels from non-mechanized groundnut oil
processors in parts of Kaduna State. Enumeration and identification of Aspergillus spp of groundnut kernels;
freshly harvested and stored samples were carried out using standard methods. Aflatoxin levels were
determined using Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The result showed that both harvest and stored
products had significantly (P<0.05) higher number of samples containing Aspergillus flavus than Aspergillus
parasiticus. The four Aspergillus species isolated in descending order were: Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus
parasiticus, Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus terreus. Though only about 9.02% of the total 260 samples
screened had aflatoxin levels above the 20ppb recommended standard limit by Nigeria National Agency for
Food and Drug Administration and Control, it was obvious that the persistent detection of moulds and total
aflatoxin in this research could be a health threat to both human and animal groundnut products (cake and oil)
consumers.

About Potato, The scientific name of the plant is Solanum tuberosum (L).Christina Parmionova
The potato is a starchy root vegetable native to the Americas that is consumed as a staple food in many parts of the world. Potatoes are tubers of the plant Solanum tuberosum, a perennial in the nightshade family Solanaceae. Wild potato species can be found from the southern United States to southern Chile
Synopsis (short abstract) In December 2023, the UN General Assembly proclaimed 30 May as the International Day of Potato.
RFP for Reno's Community Assistance CenterThis Is Reno
Property appraisals completed in May for downtown Reno’s Community Assistance and Triage Centers (CAC) reveal that repairing the buildings to bring them back into service would cost an estimated $10.1 million—nearly four times the amount previously reported by city staff.
Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

Utilization and Commercial Production of Stingless Bees and its Products in the Bicol Region / Dr. Maria Dulce J. Mostoles
1. DA-BAR Inn-House Seminar Series
May 24, 2018 , 1 :00 -4 :00 pm BAR Annex Bldg. Elliptical Road corner Visayas Ave.,
Diliman, Quezon City.
2. * Technology developed in Bicol in 2003 by Mostoles, Ruiz
and Palconitin- Meliponiculture: A Grassroots Technology, the
science and art of keeping stingless bees in halved coconut
shells .
* Meliponines- the name given to stingless bee with local
names such as lukot, kalulot, kiwot, teg-teg, libog
* Five species of stingless bees identified in the Philippines by
Baltazar in 1966.
* For the past 12 years, commercial production of T. biroi
mushroomed in the region, with no less than 20 meliponaries
established. However, only a few sustained the industry due to
abiotic and biotic constraints.
3. * Availability of the feral colonies in some areas have been
done and the species identified.
* Morphological analysis of stingless bees collected from the
Bicol provinces was carried out by Nicolas in 2008 with 8
species ; in 2013 Nicolas reported 15 species in the Philippines
(5 old record, 8 new record and new species, 2 new record )
* Most popularly cultured in Bicol is the Tetragonula biroi Freise
, which has already been domesticated leading to the creation
of meliponaries.

4. * Upscaling meliponiculture can increase income through
utilization and commercial production of the stingless bee and
its products through sustained production with abundant
colonies and pollen sources, enhanced pollination and health
/wellness products.
* For the sustainability of this emerging ago-industry ,
knowing the distribution of the stingless bees in the wild, its
pollen sources and bloom pattern in meliponaries , crop
pollination as well as utilizing its products could lead to
technology adaptation and verification.
* Since there is no data on the distribution, pollen sources
and pollination efficiency , and value adding products from
stingless bees, this research was conducted. These
information could serve as basis and useful guide for future
meliponiculturists not only in the Bicol region but in other
parts of the country.
5. General objective:
Improve the stingless bee technology in
the Bicol region by knowing the colony
distribution, pollen sources and bloom
patterns , pollination and product utilization
essential in technology adaptation leading to
expansion of livelihood , employment
generation, enhanced high value crop
production through pollination and promotion
of health.
6. Objective:
Mapping the distribution and abundance of stingless bee in
the wild and identify the species found in the different
provinces of the region.
7. Result
Positive occurrences of 24 stingless bee colonies were
sighted in 20 barangays in the provinces in the Bicol region
sighted in 20 barangays , found of varying abundance and
distribution. Mean distances between colonies was shortest
in Albay (0.39km) while farthest in Sorsogon ( 28.993km).
Open nesting with clustered brood types and closed nesting
with spherical brood types of colonies were collected which
belongs to the genus Tetragonula, groups laeviceps and
carbonaria, respectively.
Methodology
Distribution and abundance of stingless bees in the six (6 )
provinces in the Bicol region through sightings of feral
colonies , mapping its location using the Garmin GPS 12XL ,
documenting the nesting sites, hive entrance and hive
architecture. Morphology of 25 adult bees was done and
species identified. Meliponaries were monitored.

16. Methodology
Thirteen (13) meliponaries were studied for the pollen sources of
bees and bloom pattern in the area. Pollen from flowers of
plants in bloom and bee bread from the colonies were obtained.
Acetolyzed pollen from bee bread and raw pollen were examined
under the microscope. Flowering plants in bloom at the
meliponaries recorded.
Results
A total of 88 plant species were identified as pollen sources of
stingless bees in 13 the meliponaries surveyed . Coconut (Cocos
nucifera) was the common food source in the meliponaries ,
although other sources were horticultural, agronomic, forest ,
fruits crops and mangrove species. Stingless bees were found
to be not host-specific and its floral preferences is diverse.
Majority of the plants were in bloom in the apiaries from
December to February except for some trees which were only at
the flowering stage starting January.

27. Methodology
Stingless bees’ pollination efficiency on pigeon pea was
evaluated in the field. Treatments were: 1- Open pollination;
2- Caged flowers without bees; - Caged flowers with 5 bees ;
4- Caged flowers with 10 bees; 5 – Caged flowers with 15
bees. The total number of flowers per branch and number of
flowers pollinated were counted and computed the percentage
pollination efficiency.
Results
Pollination efficiencies of stingless bees on pigeon pea
significantly differed. Highest pollination efficiency of 96.88 %
was recorded in caged condition with 15 bees followed by
open pollination (81.46%) , caged with 10 bees (68.81%) ,
caged with 5 bees (54.23%) and closed pollination (37.36%).
31. Methodology
Food products were developed making use of either or a
combination of the by products such as propolis, pollen and
honey. Sensory evaluation of the products developed followed
by packaging and labelling.
Results
Stingless bee products such as pollen, propolis and honey are
utilized as raw materials and as value adding for food
(macaroons with honey, polvoron with pollen ,honey-propolis
candies) and skin products ( moisturizing cream, propolis
spray, hand sanitizer, bath soap and shampoo bar,) with
improved packaging and labeling. Value adding products
