Assessment of Water Absorption Capacity and Cooking Time of Wild Under-Exploited Vigna Species towards their Domestication

Harouna, Difo Voukang; Venkataramana, Pavithravani; Matemu, Athanasia; Ndakidemi, Patrick (MDPI, 2019-09-04)

Some phenotypic traits from wild legumes are relatively less examined and exploited towards their domestication and improvement. Cooking time for instance, is one of the most central factors that direct a consumer’s ...
The water uptake of poly(tetrahydrofurfuryl methacrylate)

Riggs, P. D.; Braden, M.; Tilbrook, D. A.; Swai, Hulda; Clarke, R. L.; Patel, M. P. (Elsevier, 1999-03)

Poly(tetrahydrofurfuryl methacrylate) possesses some unique characteristics with respect to its biocompatibility and behaviour in water. The water uptake is high (>70%) and very slow (over 3 yr), but the material remains ...
