Item Moisture-solid transfer during osmotic dehydration of banana(musa sapietum) varieties(2003) Falade, K. O.; Awoyele, O. O.; Uzo-Peters, P. I.; Aworh, O. C."Moisture solids transfer during the osomotic dehydration of three banana (musa sapietum) varieties was investigated. Cavendish, Omini-red and Cooking banana were transversely sliced into 10, 15 and 20mm thicknesses. Sample of each thickness were immersed in 52, 60 and 68 B sucrose solutions. A fruit: solution ratio of 1:20(w/w) was maintained. The fruit-solution moistures were kept at 27, 34, and 40 C for 12 hours. Samples were evaluated gravimetrically at 2 hours interval. Moisture and total solids contents were determined and expressed as g water/g dry matter (DM) and g solids/g initial mass respectively. Moisture contents on dry basis of the banana slices were found to decrease with increased immersion time, solution concentration and temperature. However, moisture contents decreased with decreased slice thickness. Total solids contents increased with thickness. Omini red cultivar had the lowest moisture content and the highest total solids contents at the end of 12 hours of osmotic treatment. Complex polynomial equation showing the relationship with moisture and total solids contents with immersion time showed high correlation (R2=0.9919-1.000) "Item Adsorption isotherms and heat of sorption of fresh and preosmosed oven-dried bananas(WFL Publisher, 2005) Falade, K. O.; Awoyele, O. O."Three banana varieties (Omini Red, Cavendish and Cooking banana) were transversely cut into 10 mm slices, pretreated in sucrose solution of 52, 60 and 68°B and maintained at 25°C for 12 hours. Both fresh and preosmosed banana slices were subsequently oven-dried at 60°C for 72 hours. Adsorption isotherms of fresh and preosmosed oven-dried banana slices were determined at 20 and 40°C using gravimetric–static method. Suitability of eight sorption models in describing the adsorption data was tested. Moreover, isosteric heat of sorption of both fresh and preosmosed oven-dried bananas was determined using Clausius–Clapeyron equation. Adsorption isotherms of fresh and preosmosed oven-dried banana slices gave type I (J–shaped) isotherms. Isotherms were affected by temperature and pretreatment sucrose solution concentration. Crossing of isotherms occurred at aw~0.55-0.70. Among the eight models, tested, Guggenheim-Anderson-de Boer (GAB) model gave the best fit. Calculated GAB monolayer moisture (Mm) content (9.80–20.8% d.b.) decreased with increase in temperature. Generally GAB Mm content increased with increase in total solids (%) content of preosmosed banana slices. Isosteric heat of sorption increased with decreased moisture content in banana slices. "Item Effects of Aframomum danielli (powder and extracts) on the nutritional, physcio-chemical and sensory properties of wheat flour bread(Inderscience Enterprises Ltd, 2008) Adegoke, G. O.; Awoyele, O. O.; Lawal, R. B.; Olapade, A. O.; Ashaye, O. A.The effects of adding different concentrations of Aframomum danielli (powder and ethanoic extracts) on nutritional, physico-chemical and sensory properties of wheat flour bread were examined. A. danielli powder – 2, 4 and 6%, and ethanolic extract (0.1 and 0.2%) were added, respectively, to flour. Using alveograph and consistograph, the physical properties of the dough-water absorption capacity, tenacity, extensibility, strength of flour and peak time were evaluated. As the concentration of A. danielli in the dough increased from 0 to 4%, alveograph tenacity increased from 96 to 193 mm H2O, extensibility decreased from 92 to 27 mm, gluten decreased from 12.21 to 10.56 mm, flour strength decreased from 365 to 255 while consistograph water absorption capacity increased from 56.8 to 58.9%. A 24-member panel familiar with spiced bread found that bread with A. daniell flavour and having no quality impairment can be made with 2% A. danielli powder and 0.1-0.2% ethanolic extract. The lower the level of A. danielli powder addition, the more acceptable the loaf to the taste panellists as the golden brown colour of the crust, texture and uniform crumb grain of spiced bread were similar to those of the control bread sample.Item Effects of Aframomum danielli(powder and extracts) on the nutritional, physico-chemical and sensory properties of wheat flour bread(Inderscience Enterprises Ltd, 2008) Adegoke, G.
