    (Publication of Family and Consumer Sciences society of Nigeria, 2020-01) Gbadebo, C.T; Babayeju, A.A; Opaleke, D.O; Adefila, A.O; Oluwadare, A.A
    The study investigated consumer acceptability and proximate analysis of selected snacks produced with selected natural sweeteners. Four (4) research questions were raised and one (1) hypothesis was tested. The research design adopted for this study is Research and Development Design (R&D). Judges evaluated 8 coded samples produced for appearance, aroma, texture, taste and overall acceptability. Sensory Evaluation was judged on a 7 point hedonic scale ranging from“1”which indicates “Dislike” to “7” which indicates “Like’’ extremely using sensory evaluation score card (SESC). Proximate analysis was determined by calculating the nutrient content (Moisture, Protein, Ash, Fat, Crude fibre, and Carbohydrate). One way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to test for the significant differences in the nutrient and sensory properties of the samples. Result of sensory properties revealed that sample CHS (Chinchin with 100% sugar) was the most preferred in appearance, aroma, taste and overall acceptability (6.47±0.90). Result of nutritive composition showed that sample CHH (Chinchin with 100% Honey) has the highest protein (10.52%), fat (20.45%) and fiber (2.55%) contents. Results revealed a significant difference (P<0.05) in the sensory evaluation of snacks produced with sugar only and those produced with selected natural sweeteners. The study concludes that snacks produced with natural sweeteners are nutritive for all classes of people. Therefore, there should be continuous education in nutrition to advise people of the health benefits of snacks produced with these natural sweeteners (date and honey) as its nutritive, antioxidants and medicinal contents for the growth and development of children and consumers is high.

    Influence of Global Climate Change on Life Styles of Family Members in Ilorin South LGA of Kwara State
    (Published by the society for Home Economists in Nigeria(SHEN), 2020) Gbadebo, C.T.; Babayeju, A.A; Adeniji, O.T.; Oluwadare, A.A; Oyegunwa, O.R
    This study examines the influence of global climate change on life styles of family members in IIorin South LGA Kwara State. Five research questions were raised and three hypotheses formulated and tested at 0.05 level of significance. Survey research design was adopted for the study. The population of the study comprised people from Ilorin South L.G.A, numbering 2,820. A total of 220 residents constituted the study sample. The instrument used was questionnaire tagged Global Climate Change Questionnaire (GCCQ) and was developed by the researchers based on the objectives and research questions formulated.. The instrument has reliability index of 0.74. Data collected were analyzed with descriptive statistics, percentages, frequencies, mean and standard deviation. The null hypotheses were analyzed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) and t-test.. The results revealed that family members in Ilorin South LGA are aware of Global Climate Change and agreed human activities causes global climate change. (¯x>2.50). The results further revealed that climate change significantly influence health and adaptive Behaviour of family members (p<0.05). The results revealed a significant difference between male and female on influence of Climate Change on Life Styles of family members (p<0.05). The study concludes that global climate change significantly influence lifestyles (health and adaptive Behaviour) of family members in Ilorin South LGA Kwara State. Based on the findings, it is recommended that the health sector should identify major regional health hazards caused by climate change and develop risk-lessening adaptations. Workshops, seminars and forums on climate change adaptation and mitigation should also be organized to raise awareness and promote climate change adaptation,
