Abstract: This study explores three methods to enhance the quality of Ghanaian garlic before drying: basic ultrasound [sonication (US)], ultrasound with a soaking solution [osmosonication (US + OD)], and vacuum with ultrasound and soaking [vacuum-assisted osmosonication (V + US + OD)]. We looked at how these methods affect garlic’s antioxidants, phenolic and flavonoid …View details

Abstract: This study compared how well three different types of waste (sludge) produce methane gas at three very high temperatures (60°C, 65°C, and 70°C). We also looked at their performance at lower temperatures (37°C and 55°C). Using German guidelines, we measured the daily amount of methane produced. We found that cow manure at 65°C was the best, giving the most …View details

Abstract: This study explores how farming practices that adapt to climate change impact food security in Ghana’s Central Region. It finds that most farmers are using low to moderately sustainable practices, which affects their food security. While many households experience hunger, those who adopt more sustainable farming practices tend to have better food security. …View details
