Pre-canning procedures such as blanching time, soaking time and sodium hexametaphosphate [(NaPO3)6] salt concentration were used as the independent variables for a Central Composite Rotatable Design (CCRD). The pre-processing parameters obtained from the CCRD were used for the canning of the cowpeas and the quality characteristics (moisture content, pH of the drained liquid, drained weight, splitting of the seeds, leached solids and seed hardness) of the canned products were studied using response surface methodology.

A 2×2×4 factorial experiment with sample treatment, storage conditions and storage time as variables was performed. The tubers were harvested, matured and stored under prevailing tropical ambient conditions (28 °C) and cold room conditions (4 °C) for the study. All the samples were evaluated for their hardness (peak force) and adhesiveness (curve areas). Starch microscopy was done on the freshly harvested tubers, hardened tubers and tubers stored under low temperature conditions (4 °C) during the study.

Trifoliate yam tubers were harvested and stored under tropical ambient (28 °C) and cold room conditions (4 °C) for 12, 24 and 36 h. The D. dumetorum starches were extracted from the tubers under study and samples were evaluated for changes in their rheological properties (paste characteristics) during storage and to study the action of amylases on D. dumetorum starch after harvesting. The post-harvest activities of α and β-amylases were also studied to evaluate their rate of action on D. dumetorum starch. Storage caused decreases in the rheological properties (paste characteristics) of the tubers within 36 h of harvest. Similarly, α and β-amylase activities in the tubers more than doubled within 24 h after harvesting.

Title A name given to the resource Influence of spontaneous fermentation on some quality characteristics of maize-based cowpea-fortified nixtamalized foods Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Emmanuel Ohene Afoakwa, Samuel Sefa-Dedeh, Agnes Simpson Budu, Esther Sakyi-Dawson, Justice Asomaning Description An account of the resource Spontaneous fermentation has been identified to improve the quality characteristics of foods derived from them. When combined with cowpea fortification and nixtamalization, it is expected to improve the nutritional, functional, physico-chemical and sensory qualities of maize based foods thereby improving the qualities as well as broadening the food processing techniques in sub-Saharan Africa. This study was therefore aimed at investigating the influence of spontaneous fermentation on the functional, physico-chemical and sensory characteristics of maize-based cowpeafortified nixtamalized foods. A 3x3x2 factorial experiment with fermentation time (0, 24, 48 h), cowpea (0, 10 and 20%) and alkaline treatment (nixtamalized and nonnixtamalized maize) was used. Samples were analyzed for pH, titratable acidity and water absorption capacity (27 C and 70 C). The blends were dried using the cabinet drier, milled into flour and processed into a snack food. The cylinder probe test was used in a TA-TX2 Texture Analyzer to measure the hardness of processed snack foods and sensory analysis was conducted to determine the acceptability of the snack products. The pH of all the nixtamalized samples decreased with fermentation time and cowpea fortification with concomitant increase in titratable acidity. Cowpea addition caused decreases in the pH from 9.68 to 6.12 in the unfermented nixtamalized samples. Contrary to this trend, general increases in titratable acidity were observed with fermentation and cowpea addition of the products. The water absorption capacities at both 27 C and 70 C of all the nixtamalized blends generally decreased with … Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2007 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&amp;hl=en&amp;user=EZuX1N8AAAAJ&amp;pagesize=80&amp;citation_for_view=EZuX1N8AAAAJ:4TOpqqG69KYC Language A language of the resource English Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

When canning cowpeas, the pre-processing parameters from the CCRD were applied, and response surface approach was used to analyze the quality traits (seed hardness, moisture content, pH of the drained liquid, weight, splitting of the seeds, and leached particles) of the canned goods.

Title A name given to the resource Chemical composition and effect of processing on oxalate content of taro corms Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Emmanuel Ohene Afoakwa, Samuel Sefa-Dedeh, EK Agyir-Sackey Description An account of the resource The chemical composition as well as the effect of processing on the corms of two Xanthosoma sagittifolium species and Colocasia esculenta corms were evaluated. A 3x3 factorial experimental design with cocoyam varieties (Xanthosoma (white-flesh), Xanthosoma (red-flesh) and Colocasia) and corm section (distal, middle and apical) was performed to determine the chemical composition of the corms. Oxalate content of the various corms were also evaluated and the effect of processing assessed using standard analytical methods. The mean values of the proximate composition of the three cocoyam species evaluated were; crude protein 2.98-5.50 g/100g, total fat 0.28-0.97 g/100g, ash 1.56-2.98 g/100g, starch 12.23-36.04 g/100g and crude fibre 1.11-3.00 g/100g. The apical section of all the species had high protein content while the distal section had high levels of ash, fibre and minerals. Potassium, zinc, magnesium and phosphorus were the most abundant minerals. Oxalate compositions of the fresh samples were in the range of 253.49-380.55 µg/100g for the Xanthosoma sagittifolium (red-flesh), 302.19-322.82 µg/100g for the Xanthosoma sagittifolium (white-flesh) and 328.4-459.85 µg/100g for the Colocasia esculenta. No significant differences (p< 0.05) were found between the oven-dried and solar-dried samples. However, drum drying reduced the oxalate levels by approximately 50% to average levels ranging from 99.94-191.16 µg/100g, implying that solar, oven and drum drying techniques can be used for the development of marketable dehydrated products from taro with reduced oxalate contents.

Title A name given to the resource Influence of the Addition of Cereal Malt on the Viscoelastic and Functional Properties of Cereal-Based Weaning Foods Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Emmanuel Ohene Afoakwa, Samuel Sefa-Dedeh, Yvonne Kluvitse, Esther Sakyi-Dawson Description An account of the resource Traditional weaning foods are made from cereals resulting in gruels of high density with viscosities not suitable for infant feeding. Reducing the bulk density in fermented weaning foods will facilitate the production of infant weaning porridges of improved caloric density and lower viscosity. Our objective was aimed at investigating the influence of the addition of cereal malts on the viscoelastic and functional properties of cereal-based weaning foods. A 3x3x2 factorial experiment with sprouting time (2, 3, 4 days), malt concentration (5 and 10%) and cereal malt (maize, millet and sorghum) was used. The cereals were sprouted for 2, 3, and 4 days and then incorporated into fermented maize dough at concentrations of 5% and 10%(dry matter basis). Samples were analysed for their viscoelastic properties using 8% slurries in a Brabender Viscoamylograph, and functional properties (pH, titratable acidity, water holding capacity and swelling capacity). Sorghum malt in comparison to millet and maize malts was not effective in terms of lowering the hot and cold viscosities of the fermented maize dough. Maize and millet malts liquefied the dough considerably during both the hot and cold paste viscosities. However, the effect of 4-day sprouted cereal malts was most pronounced whilst the optimum activity of maize malt was observed after three days of sprouting. The pH of the products decreased (5.38-3.84) with increasing malt concentration with concomitant increase in acid production (0.238–0.624 gLactic acid/100g dry sample) and no significant effect (p< 0.05) was noted for the type of cereal malt.
