ABSTRACT Tomato production in Ghana is characterized by a glut and high post – harvest losses during the major season followed by scarcity and high prices during the off season. This is the result or absence of a standard method for preservation of fresh fruits. This research was conducted to determine an effective method for the post - harvest treatment of fresh tomato fruits to enhance shelf life while preserving its physicochemical and nutritional properties. Two experiments were condu...
Abstract It has been established that radionuclides accumulate during mining and mineral ore processing, leaching into water bodies and thus increases naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM) concentration levels. In this work, theoretical and experimental methods have been used to study radionuclides transport and fate in groundwater systems at the Newmont Akyem Goldmine in the Eastern Region of Ghana. Radiation doses from radionuclides in groundwater have been modeled by considerin...
