Quality Evaluation Of African Yam Bean (Sphenostylis Stenocarpa)/ Wheat Cake Enriched With Edible Palm Weevil (Rhychophorus Phoencis)
ABSTRACT
The continuous increase in population
and concomitant decrease in agricultural production is a major factors leading
to the grave short fall in edible protein for consumption in developing
countries; the resulting protein deficiency has been a serious cause o illness
and death in many regions. Protein deficiency in one's diet plays a significant
part in what is widely referred to as protein-energy malnutrition. In countries
that suffer from wide spread protein deficiency, food is generally full of
plant fillers, making adequate energy and protein consumption very difficult
(Schwaii el at., 2003.) Attempts to find new foods rich in protein is
desirable, especially considering the need for new infant food suitable for
preventing protein malnutrition and to provide a cheaper alternatives source to
increasingly expensive animal meal . Insects are popular SOUrCeS of food in many
cultures around the world, as either an occasional delicacy or as a replacement
food in times of droughts, floods or storage (Adedire and Aiyesanmi, 1999).
They provide a good source of protein, minerals, vitamin and energy and they
cost less than animal protein for poor rural communities; their consumption has
averted many cases of malnutrition [Cheivwunduka el at, 1975]. Among such
important insect is the African Palm Weevil 'Rhychophorus Phoenicis' (De
Follart el at., 1992).
