UNIJOS Agriculture Students Produce Bread, Mayonnaise and Fruit Jams at Food Science Exhibition

UNIJOS Agriculture Students Produce Bread, Mayonnaise and Fruit Jams at Food Science Exhibition

University of Jos 200-level agriculture students have displayed bread, mayonnaise, pineapple jam, banana jam and other food products made from locally sourced materials during a practical food science exhibition. The exercise formed part of AGR 206, Introduction to Food Science and Technology. Students worked in groups and were assessed on processing, preservation, packaging, cost analysis, production time and product quality. University officials said practical agricultural training can help graduates build businesses in food processing and contribute to Nigeria's food security. They also called for greater investment in university infrastructure and agricultural research, noting that the institution receives more than 50,000 applications each year.

Which locally sourced materials stood out most in the bread, mayonnaise, and jam preparations? It would be interesting to hear what students found easiest to work with.

Were the ingredients actually sourced locally, or was that only part of the exhibition theme?

This is a useful way to connect agriculture classes with everyday food people already buy and consume.

The exhibition sounds promising, though displaying products is only one step; consistency, safety, and preservation matter too.

They could document the recipes, processing steps, and shelf-life observations so future student groups can improve on the work.
