Oenological characteristics and screening of some yeasts isolated from date and tiger nut must from the Sudano-Sahelian Zone of Cameroon

Date and tiger nut, two sugar-rich forest species native to the Sudano-Sahelian zone of Cameroon, hold potential for wine production due to their pleasant flavors. This study evaluated the oenological properties of yeasts isolated from these substrates, following the methods established by the International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV). The OIV screened 40 yeast isolates from each substrate for ethanol...

Seasonal variations in physicochemical and microbiological quality of River Ibi: Implications for public health

Water quality is essential for human health, biodiversity, and sustainable development. Rivers, as major freshwater resources, are increasingly threatened by anthropogenic activities, affecting their physicochemical and microbiological properties. This study assessed River Ibi water quality at upstream, midstream, and downstream locations during dry and rainy seasons using standard analytical and microbiological...
