The Effect Of Processing On The Nutrient And Antinutrient Of Bambara Groundnut And Groundnut
ABSTRACT
This research analyzed the effect of processing (boiling and
toasting) on the proximate and antinutrient compositions of Bambara groundnut
and Groundnut seeds. The proximate composition analysis showed significant
differences (P < 0.05) in the levels of crude protein, crude fiber, ash,
fat, carbohydrate, and moisture content in raw and processed Bambara groundnut
and Groundnut. The proximate content of samples decreased as processing time
increased except for moisture content and carbohydrate content. Ash, fat, fiber
and protein content decreased from 3.17-1.93%, 6.12-2.86%, 4.05-2.44%, and 20.82-15.01%
respectively for Bambara groundnut.similar trend was observed for groundnut
which decreased from 5.20-1.45%, 45.75-18.55%, 1.06-0.37%, and 24.97-14.77% in
ash, fat, fiber, and protein content of groundnut after processing. Analyses of
antinutrient composition show that processing significantly reduced the levels
of oxalate, tannins, phytate, and hydrogencyanide contents of Bambara groundnut
and Groundnut which ranged from. The results, therefore, suggest that
processing significantly lowered the levels of antinutrients in Bambara
groundnut and Groundnut, thereby making it safer for consumption
