The Effect Of Lime Juice On The Quality Characteristics Of Unsprouted And Fermented Sprouted Cocoyam Flour Samples
ABSTRACT
Flours produced from lime treated
Unsprouted and fermented sprouted cocoyam (Xanthosoma Sagittfolium) flour were
evaluated for Proximate Composition, Some Mineral Composition, Functional
Properties and Anti-Nutritional Factors. The result showed that Xanthosoma
contained Carbohydrate 77.13%, Moisture 9.52%, Ash 3.24%, Crude Fiber 1.06%, and
Crude Protein 8.19%, fat 0.85%. Results revealed the lime treated fermented
cocoyam flour had protein content increase from 7.84% to 8.19%. The lime
treated ferment cocoyam flour affected the functional properties of samples and
there were significant differences (P<0.05) among the samples. The results showed that the mineral content of the samples was high which contained calcium 24.78%, phosphorus 53.86%, iron 0.67%, and potassium 71.83%, and sodium 45.37%, zinc 0.46%. Incorporation of lime juice treated fermented cocoyam flour resulted in proportional increase in the protein content of the flour samples><0.05)
among the samples. The results showed that the mineral content of the samples
was high which contained calcium 24.78%, phosphorus 53.86%, iron 0.67%, and
potassium 71.83%, and sodium 45.37%, zinc 0.46%. Incorporation of lime juice
treated fermented cocoyam flour resulted in proportional increase in the
protein content of the flour samples.
