Effect Of Pre-Drying Treatment On Quality Characteristics Of Dried Pumpkin Leaves:- Uko Elizabeth
ABSTRACT
The aim of
this study was to compare the effect of different drying methods: Ascorbic acid
drying, Calcium chloride drying, Steam drying systems on the nutritional
content of Telfaria occidentalis. Fresh Telfaria occidentalis leaves purchased
from the market were subjected to drying using different drying systems. The
dried leaf products were analyzed using standard laboratory procedure for
proximate composition, mineral content, vitamin content and sensory quality. The
results indicate that with the exception of carbohydrate and crude fat,
products of the chemical dying system had better proximate composition. Mineral
composition and vitamin content of the chemically processed dried vegetables
were higher than that of conventional drying methods. All the dried vegetable
leaves showed acceptable level ofsensory properties
