I wish to announce to you the publication of issue 12 of AJFAND. This issue should have come out by December last year and was supposed to have wished all of our readers a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. But then, we in ROP did not have a Merry Christmas as I lost my dad on 18th December, 2006. We now are just trying to get back to normal and are releasing this issue now, albeit late. Please enjoy the reading and send in any comments you may have. In this issue we have the following articles:
• Influence of spontaneous fermentation on some quality characteristics of maize-based cowpea-fortified nixtamalized foods – Emmanuel Afoakwa et al.
• Chemical composition, functional and baking properties of wheat-plantain composite flour
– Horsfall Mepba et al.
• Filial factors of kwashiorkor survival in urban Ghana: Rediscovering the roles of the extended family
– Richard Douglass et al.
• Dietary patterns and prevalence of wasting among street children in Malawi's capital
– Alexander Kalimbira and Lemon Chipwatali
• Effect of a typical rural processing method on the proximate composition and amino acid profile of bush mango seeds (Irvingia gabonensis) – Ekpe Onot et al.
• Investigation of the need for an online collection of traditional African food habits
– Verena Raschke et al.
• Role of fatty acids of milk and dairy products in cardiovascular diseases: A review
– Michael Lokuruka
• Effects of processing treatments on the nutritive composition and consumer acceptance of some Nigerian edible leafy vegetables
– Horsfall Mepba et al.
With best wishes
