Superficial contamination during the skinning process of bovine masseter for human consumption

This work aimed to analyze the degree of contamination of the masseter muscle during the skinning of bovines. For the study, 99 samples obtained through swabs of the masseter were collected at different phases during the slaughter, and seeded in plates for bacterial total count and coliforms. The set of samples with the highest contamination was collected immediately after the removal of the head. The high counts observed occurred mainly due to the contamination by contact of the masseter with the hide.

Evaluation of the heavy metal content of ugu leaf (telfaria occidentalis) collected from eke Okigwe Market, Imo State, Nigeria

This study evaluated the heavy metal content of ugu leaf (Telfaria occidentalis) collected from Eke Okigwe Market in Imo State, South Eastern Nigeria. The heavy metals including Mercury (Hg), Cadmium (Cd), Manganese (Mn) and Lead (Pb) were analyzed using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). The results revealed a significantly higher concentrations of Hg, Cd and Mn in T. occidentalis leaf beyond the World Health Organization (WHO) allowable limits of 0.001, 0.003 and 0.1435 mg/100g for Hg, Cd and Mn respectively (P<0.05). However, lead was not detected in the vegetable.

Algorithm to detect nitrogen foliar deficiency in bean crops applying digital image processing and data mining

The determination of the Nitrogen correct application in bean crops, aiming to increase productivity and reduce costs with fertilizers, is a great challenge, which has a solution based on the use of precision farming tools. This work proposes the use of digital image processing techniques coupled with a data mining process aiming at the construction of a decision tree based algorithm for the definition of dose for the maximum production Nitrogen dosage to be applied by means of cover fertilization at focal points of the beans cultures.
