“…It was observed that all samples had high moisture content, with the samples stored at room temperature having the highest percentage of moisture. This could affect the stability and safety of the various beverage samples with respect to microbial growth and proliferation; as high moisture content allows microbial growth [19]. Total ash content in the various treatments was lower than the ash content of 1.5% as reported by Ukwuru et al [6].…”

Tiger nut (Cyperus esculentus) is an edible perennial grass-like plant that has long been 9 recognized for its health benefits as it is rich in fiber, protein, vitamins, minerals and 10 natural sugars. It can be eaten raw, roasted or made into a refreshing milk which is very nutritive 11 and healthy for consumption. There were several efforts to mass-produce the locally prepared tiger 12 nut milk in our locality, but the fact that it has a shorter shelf-life, brings about a hindrance. The main 13objective of the present study is to unveil the cause for the easily spoilage of tiger nut milk and 14 device ways to promote its production using different treatments. Tiger nut milk products were 15 prepared using different methods; water soaked tiger nut milk (WSTM), toasted tiger nut milk samples that received pasteurized treatment were found to stay more than a week with fair quality. 25Findings from the study shows that the chemical characteristics of the various milk products were 26 significantly affected by the different processing treatments. 27Keywords: Nisin, water soaked tiger nut milk (WSTM), toasted tiger nut milk (TTM), methanol 28 soaked tiger nut milk (MSTM), and the pasteurised tiger nut milk (PTM) 29 30

“…Soaking increased the protein and fat, but sometimes reduced the moisture and carbohydrate content and soluble nutrients (e.g. tannins and polyphenols) which can be eliminated with the discarded soaking water (Sa'id et al, 2017). The extraction yield of the tiger nut milk from soaked tubers increases with soaking temperature and reaches a maximum of 30 g milk/100 g tuber (dry weight basis), whatever the size of the tubers as reported by Djomdi et al (2007).…”

Tiger nut (Cyperus esculentus) is a root crop which is grass-like, edible and perennial plant. Tigernut has long been utilized as functional food with a lot of health benefits such as vitamins, minerals, sugar, dietary fibre and rich in protein. It is consumed raw, fried, toasted or blended with milk, dates fruits, coconut and so on. as smoothie which provides the body with essential nutrients required per daily intake. The processed tiger nut milk has a beverage like appearance to natural milk but differs in their consistency and viscosity which is obtained through blending, addition of water, filtration as well as addition of spices and sweeteners although. The tiger nut drinks are rich in sugar. This review documents microorganisms associated with tiger nut milk spoilage, different extraction methods and their effects on nutritional composition and shelf stability. Some of the preservation techniques employed especially in large scale production. Finally, this review summarize various preservation techniques that can be employed in enhancing a better shelf life of the milk derived from tiger nut.

“…134 The Third Circuit relied on the "plain text" of Rule 407, holding that the rule used "culpable conduct" rather than the narrower phrase "tortious conduct." 135 Notably, the Third Circuit found "culpable conduct" more expansive than "tortious conduct" because "culpable conduct" included any guilty or blameworthy behavior and could be applied in tort cases, but also to contract cases. 136 The Reynolds court found persuasive Hickman and Pastor's policy goal of encouraging language clarifications to prevent confusion.…”

Imagine you are preparing a new insurance coverage agreement for 2020 effective April 1, 2020. One exclusion provision from the 2019 policy in particular stands out to you. It is the microorganism exclusion, which bars coverage for losses “directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to: mold, mildew, fungus, spores, or other microorganisms of any type, nature, or description, including but not limited to any substance whose presence poses an actual or potential threat to human health.” Reviewing this exclusion provision, you believe in light of the COVID-19 pandemic it should be made crystal-clear that it includes viruses. Therefore, you add an exclusion for “losses attributable to any communicable disease, including viruses,” to the new 2020 policy. As you weather the COVID-19 pandemic, your business begins to experience litigation over your insurance policy. Your policyholders expect the 2019 agreement to cover losses attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic. To support said position, one plaintiff argues your addition of the communicable diseases exclusion in the 2020 policy supports their position that the 2019 policy covers losses attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet, you know this added language was only meant to clarify future policies, not show that the 2019 policy covered losses attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic. Whether a federal court will admit this evidence depends on the circuit in which it sits. Federal courts are divided on whether Rule 407, which bars evidence of subsequent remedial measures, applies to modified language in contractual agreements.The majority approach applies Rule 407 to contract cases because such disputes apply under the plain-meaning of Rule 407 and implicate its policy goals. On the other hand, a minority of circuits do not apply Rule 407 to contract cases because Rule 407 is written with tort-based language and the policy goals of Rule 407, such as preventing future injuries, are in their opinion not implicated in contract disputes. This article argues the majority approach, that Rule 407 applies in breach of contract cases, is the correct application for future courts to apply when tasked with this matter. Following this introductory Part I, this paper proceeds in four parts. Part II introduces the reader to Rule 407 by explaining the Rule’s history, application, and policy goals. Part III explores the split among federal courts regarding Rule 407’s applicability to contract cases. This portion articulates the rationale for both the majority and minority approaches to Rule 407 in breach of contract disputes. Part IV argues for the majority approach. The majority approach applies the plain-meaning approach to Rule 407’s text and fulfills the Rule’s policy objective. Part V displays how the Federal Rules of Evidence could be amended to conclusively adopt the majority approach for all future contract cases in the federal court system.
