Nutrient Composition And Sensory Evaluation Of Pigeon Pea Pudding Supplemented With Millet And Crayfish

ABSTRACT

Proximate, Minerals and Vitamin C composition of fortified and supplemented pigeon pea pudding was compared to the unfortified pudding. The results showed that the pigeon pea pudding supplemented with millet and crayfish contained more nutrients than the pigeon pea pudding alone. The result showed that the supplemented pigeon pea pudding of sample 1938, contained ' moisture 71.67, fat 7.59, fibre 1.67, Ash 1.67, carbohydrates 13.87 and protein 3.54. Sample 1523, sample 1798 and sample 1844, had higher nutrient levels. The unfortified pigeon pea pudding, which served as the control, contained moisture 69.84, fat 5.22, fibre 1.57, Ash 1.25, carbohydrates 18.77 and protein 3.35. In terms of mineral and vitamin composition, there was no significant difference among the samples. The pigeon pea pudding alone (the control) was more generally accepted by the consumers than the other samples.
