ABSTRACT
The study determined the physical and chemical
characteristics of oil extracted from Ufuku(Hilde gardia barteri), and the
anti-nutrients of ufuku seed. The physical characteristic of oil from ufuku
showed that specific gravity of the oil is 0.89 18, smoke point 384c, flash
point 392c, and fire point 404c. the chemical characteristics of oil from ufuku
showed that acid value is 6.62, free fatty Acid 3.31, peroxide value
7.50mEq/kg, iodine number 55.2 and saponification value 185.13. The
anti-nutritional composition showed oxalate content 0.225%, phytate 0.50% and
tannin value 0.2%. Ufuku seed was processed into flour and used in the
production of traditional butter spread. The sensory evaluation was carried out
to compare the acceptability with conventional butter spread made from
groundnut (Arachis hypogeae). The oil extract from ufuku was compared with
groundnut oil and safflower oil. The sensory evaluation mean score showed that
the colour is 6.28, Appearance 6.20, flavour 5.84, texture 5.98 and general
acceptability 6.44.
