My overall original contribution to knowledge from this work is to characterize the physicochemical,
stability, and rheological properties of African catfish mucilage (ACM), a waste from African catfish to
provide an effective suitable, eco-friendly alternative emulsifier that could serve as feedstock in food-grade,
cosmetics, drug delivery, and personal care industry.

The work comprised of a mini-thesis on ‘Copper (II) complexes of cyclo-hexanone semi-carbazone
which showcased the possibility of coupling cupper to the organic compound because copper was
more soluble in the human body. The original compound was an Iron II complex of cyclohexanone
semi-carbazone which was used in treating measles. The complex was formed however
the project delineation did not take in clinical trials.
