To investigate effects of cowpea addition and level of ripeness of plantain on the nutritional and sensory characteristics of Kaklo and Ofam in Ghana, A 2X4 factorial experiment with firm and soft ripe plantain and cowpea fortification of 0, 10, 20…

Changes in nib acidity, protein and sugar concentration during roasting of pulp pre-conditioned and fermented cocoa (Theobroma cacao) beans were investigated. A 4× 4 full factorial design with the principal experimental factors as pod storage (0, 3,…

Response surface methodology and central composite rotatable design (CCRD) for K= 3 were used to investigate the combined effect of blanching time (0-1 min), processing time (10-30 min) and sodium metabisulphite (Na2S2O5) salt concentration (0%-2%)…

Spontaneous fermentation of maize produces lactic acids resulting in souring or acidification with associated improvement in taste, flavour and texture of the derived products. When combined with nixtamalization and cowpea fortification, it is…

Spontaneous lactic acid fermentation is an important process in cereal processing. It is applied to develop and enhance taste and flavour, modify texture and improve the microbial safety of foods. When applied with nixtamalization to maize, it is…

A nation's ability to harness its resources for development is partly based on the quality of human capital available. The cognitive and mental development of undernourished children is known to be deficient or delayed and can adversely affect school…

Studies were conducted to evaluate the effects of feed moisture and ingredient variations on the chemical composition and appearance of extruded sorghum-groundnut-cowpea blends using response surface methodology. Central composite rotatable design…

n order to determine the ideal pre-processing conditions that would result in the highest quality canned product from the recently produced cowpea variety, seeds of the cowpea (IT87D195Y) were canned. For a Central Composite Rotatable Design, the…
