The polyphenolic compounds are abundantly found in different plant parts including fruits, leaves, stem and seeds, and are known for possessing a wide range of biological activities.

This study characterised the kinetics and concentration profiles of six HCA congeners — 2-Amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP), 2-Amino-3,8-dimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoxaline (MeIQx), 2-Amino-3,4,8-trimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoxaline (DiMeIQx), 2-Amino-3-methylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline (IQ), 1-Methyl-9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole (harman), and 9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole (norharman) — in six Nigerian food preparations (grilling of popular delicacies — including suya, kilishi, asun, and smoked catfish (eja aro)) using validated liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) under three cooking modalities (charcoal grilling, pan-frying, oven-roasting).

Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) has established itself as one of the most reliable and widely adopted preservation technologies in the modern food industry, offering a practical means of extending shelf life while maintaining the sensory and nutritional integrity of food products throughout storage and distribution.

Fish farming is a vital source of livelihood, income, and nutritional security, especially in regions where aquaculture is embedded in local economies and culture.

Mango kernel oil (MKO) is a mango processing by-product and is increasingly of interest in food use because of its appropriate fat content.

Milk adulteration poses a serious threat to public health and quality assurance in the dairy industry.
