Quality Evaluation Of Roasted, Boiled And Raw African Breadfruit (Treculia Ufricana) Seed Flour
ABSTRACT
This study inyestigated the quality of roasted, boiled and raw African breadfruit (Treculia
african) seed flour. The proximate composition, vitamin and mineral analysis were carried out
using standard methods. There were significant differences (p< 0.05) in the proximate
composition of the various samples, with the proximate mean values ranged from 5.01 to 10.77%
(moisture), 1.59 to 2.7% (fat),77 to 8.89% (fiber), 17.99 to 20.77%(protein), 2.51 to 2.57% (ash),
55.25 to 63.17 (carbohydrate). In the vitamin analysis there were significant difference (p<0.005)
in the vitamin A, Bi, B2, and B3, with mean values ranging from 53.00 to 53.67mg/bOg, 6.00
to 6.38mg/bOg, 10.40 to 11.57mg/lOOg, and 25.07 to 32.47mg /loog respectively. The mineral
result showed that there were significant difference (p<0.05) in calcium, potassium, sodium,
iron, and copper content of the sample. The mineral mean values ranged from 189 to
239mg/bOg (calcium), 148.67 to 202.6mg/lOOg @otassium), 356.33 to 374.67mg/bOg
(sodium), 1.83 to 2.l4mg/lOOg copper and 10.73 to 11.67mg/lOOg (iron). This study revealed by
roasting as a method of processing retained higher nutrients than boiling process.
