Response surface methodology and central composite rotatable design for K=2 was employed to analyze the combined effect of sugar concentration and acid balancing on the soluble solids, refractive index, water insoluble solids total acidity and pH of…
Response surface methodology was used to study the optimal pre-processing conditions that would yield the best quality canned product from bambara groundnuts. Pre-canning parameters such as blanching time, soaking time and sodium hexametaphosphate…
Inulin and polydextrose have in recent times form basic ingredients in the manufacture of many sugar-free products. However, the applicability and suitability of inulin and polydextrose mixtures as sucrose replacers during manufacture of sugar-free…
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%)…
Contemporary enterprises need to manage their infrastructure effectively while keeping personnel costs low to ensure profitability. Achieving this necessitates the study of employing a quantitative research approach to develop a cost model that…
This study investigated the suitability of Stephan mixer for use as conche during small-scale chocolate production in an attempt to reduce cost and processing time. Molten chocolate was processed using the Stephan mixer under different temperature…
