Comparative Evaluation Of Tile Proximate Compositions Of Fermented Condiments Produced From The Seeds Of Melon, (Colocynthis Citrullus) Castor (Ricinus Cominunis) Soybean (Glycine Max) And African Locust Bean (Parkia Biglobosa)
ABSTRACT
This study was aimed at producing and
assessing the proximate composition of the fermented and unfermented Egusi
seeds (Colocynthis citrullus), castor seeds (Ricinus communis) soybean seeds
(Glycine max) and African lucost Bean Seeds (Parkia biglobosa). The seeds were
processed into condiments by subjecting them to fermentation. Processing the
seeds to the condiments involved sorting, cooking/boiling mashing, fermentation
for 2 days, mashing with dried plantain leaf (Ash), smoke-drying to prolong
sheiflife. The percentage proximate composition of the fermented and unfermented
samples were reported on table 4.1 with moisture contents ranging from 7.85% -
9.50% for the unfermented and 12.31%-14.49% for the fermented. Dry matter the
values ranged from 90.50-92.15% for the unfermented and 85.5% for the
fermented. The ash content value ranged from 3.46% 5.66% for the unfermented
while that of the fermented ranged from 3.46%-4.78%.For Crude fibre the values
ranged from 2.35%- 5.44% for the unfermented while that of the fermented ranged
from 2.18%-3.24%.The fat content value ranges from 19.85%-49.38% for the
unfermented and 16.52% to 4 1.52% for the fermented. For Crude protein, the
values ranged from 24.78% to 3 9.66% for the unfermented and 18.76% to 3 1.71%
for the fermented. The carbohydrate values ranges from 14.20%-34.89% for
fermented and 2.91%-28.27% for the unfermented sample.
