Aflatoxin B1 Affects Kenyan Markets: How It Can be Managed
Lugasi, Solomon Omwoma (Advances in Research, 2020-02-14)Aflatoxin B1 is a toxin produced as secondary fungal metabolites by the fungus Aspergillus, particularly A. flavus. The toxin has significantly contaminated the food supply chain especially cereals in Kenya. Kenya Bureau ... -
Aflatoxin B1: Chemistry, Environmental and Diet Sources and Potential Exposure in Human in Kenya
Lalah, Joseph Owuor; Lugasi, Solomon Omwoma; Orony, Dora A.O. (intechopen, 2019-10-05)Cancer incidences and mortality in Kenya are increasing according to recent reports and now number among the top five causes of mortality in the country. The risk factors responsible for this increase in cancer incidences ... -
Biogenic Synthesis of Gold Nanoparticles from Physalis peruviana and Application in Wound Healing
Odongo, Stephen Adongo; Okumu, Fredrick Oluoch; Lugasi, Solomon Omwoma; Onani, Martin Opiyo; Agong', Stephen Gaya (2022-09-12)Wound management is key to healing. Poorly managed wounds lead to abnormal biological reactions and complications. Microorganisms, bacteria or fungi, infect such wounds leading to their chronic nature. Gold nanoparticles ... -
Biogenically Synthesized Silver/Gold Nanoparticles, Mechanism and their Applications: A Review
Odongo, Stephen Adongo; Lugasi, Solomon Omwoma; Onani, Martin Opiyo; Agong, Stephen Gaya; Lagat, Silas C. (Asian Journal of Chemical Sciences, 2022-02-28)As a result of climate change and rapid urbanization, attention increasingly turns to the management of water resources. Proper management of water resources has become a core concern for development practitioners and ... -
Design and Synthesis of Reusable Nanoparticles for Reversible Chemisorption of Hexavalent Chromium Anions from Aqueous Media and Catalysis
Lugasi, Solomon Omwoma (Journal of Chemistry, 2020-07-14)A magnetically active nanocomposite material has been synthesized from the reaction mixture of magnetite core iron nano-particles electrostatically coated with SiO2, hydrotalcite nanosheets ([Eu8 (OH) 20 (H2O)n] 4+), and ... -
Implementation of Technology and Innovation Support Centers (Tiscs) in Kenya: Challenges and Opportunities
Lugasi, Solomon Omwoma; Odhiambo, Mercy Auma (Elsevier, 2022-02)Technology and Innovation Support Centers (TISCs) were established by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) in 2009 to support innovations in least developed countries. They facilitate innovators to access ... -
New synthetic pathways for thiocarbohydrazide and salicylaldehyde azine compounds
Lugasi, Solomon Omwoma (Asian Journal of Chemical Sciences, 2017)Thiocarbohydrazide synthesis is an important intermediate step for many hydrazine organic synthetic reactions. Synthesis of thiocarbohydrazide can be done by reaction of carbon disulfide with hydrazine (hydrazinolysis) ...
