Effect Of Processing And Packaging On The Preservation Of Fermented African Oil Bean (Pentaclethra Macrophyllia) Seeds
ABSTRACT
This work is aimed at reduction of the spoilage of
"ugba" by reducing the moisture content of "ugba". In this
work, 'ugba" was produced then divided into three; one was further
pasteurized then dried, the other was dried without pasteurizingafter
fermentation, the other was fresh as produced. The dried pasteurized and
unpasteurized were then packaged in foil and plastic to avoid absorption of
moisture from atmosphere thus, unproving their acceptability and exportation.
Observation made from the analysis carried out on proximate composition showed
that there were no nutrients lost instead protein concentration increased due
to concentration during drying. There was no significant difference (p>0.05)
among fermented pasteurized and unpasteurized dried samples of "ugba"
before and after storage. The P" value of both pasteurized and
unpasteurized had same value (7.2) with freshly fermented "ugba"
having slight highei value (7.3) as spoilage approaches. Sensory evaluation
result showed significantly different (p<0.05) in color, taste, flavor, general acceptability but no significant difference (p>0.05)
between fermented pasteurized (6.53%) and unpasteurized (6.86%) in mouth-feel
while significantly different (p
0.0
