    Rheological properties and consumer acceptance of moin-moin premix
    (University Press Plc(2016), 2005) Olapade, A. A.; Ozumba, A. U.; Solomon, H. M.; Olatunji, O.; Adelaja, S. O.
    Premix was prepared from cowpea flour, pepper powder and onion powder. Pasting characteristics of the cowpea flour as affected by adding of other ingredients were investigated. The consumer acceptability of the premix for preparation of moin-moin was also investigated. Gelatinisation temperature of bean flour was significantly (p=0.05) increased by inclusion of pepper but not by inclusion of onion powder. Viscosity of the premix was not significantly affected, expect the set back value, which was significantly lowered. Moin-moin from premix compared favourable with the control sample in all attributes except texture, which was rated lower.

    Comparison of different methods of producing bambara (Vaondzeia subterranean L. Thou) flours for preparation of moin-moin
    (University Press Plc(2016), 2007) Olapade, A. A.; Adetuyi, D. O.
    Bambara nut was subjected to different treatment prior to mechanical dry dehulling and millimg into flours. Physico chenmical properties of the fleurs and sensory attributes of moin-moin prepared from the flours were compared with that of moin-moin from fresh pastes from cowpea and bambara. The functional properties investigated included foam-ability, foam-stability, gelation capacity, dispersibility and dehaull-ability while proximate chemical composition of the flours was also investigated. Both cold and hot water steeping of Bambara prior to dehaulling produced moinmoin that compared favourably with moin moin from fresh pastes (controls). Fresh paste to dehulling produced through maual dehaulling resulted in moin-moin that compared similarly to conventional moin-moin from fresh cowpea. The proximate chemical compositions were not significantly affected by the treatments but functional properties were significanlty affected

    Physico-chemical properties of premixes for preparation of "akara"
    (University Press Plc(2016), 2004) Olapade, A. A.; Olatunji, O.; Adefaja, S. O
    Premix was formulated from cowpea flour, peper powder and onion powder by mixing the ingredients together this was then packed. Proximate chemical composition and fucntional properties (water absorption capacity, solubility index, foaming capacity and foam stability) of the cowpea flour as affected by inclusion of other ingredients were determined. Inclusion of other ingredients separately and jointly in cowpea flour had siginificant effects on functional properties but little effect on proximate chemical compositions of cowpea flour. Foaming and water absorption capacities were decreased as a result of added ingredients. Akara prepared from pre-formulated premix prior to re-hydration into paste compared favourably with the control akara from freshly prepared cowpea paste but had texture rated lower and low overall acceptability

    Characterization of common Nigerian cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) varieties
    (Elsevier Sceince Ltd, 2002) Olapade, A. A.; Okafor, G. I.; Ozumba, A. U.; Olatunji, O.
    Eight cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) varieties namely Olo-1, Olo-2, Baujara, Karadua, Manyan Fari, Kananado Yar and Akidi were characterized based on their physical and functional properties. Physical properties investigated include seed-weight, length to diameter ratio, specific gravity, bulk density, angle of repose and percentage of seed coat. The functional properties examined were water absorption capacity, swelling capacity, cooking time and moisture content. The result of both physical and functional properties showed significant differences (P = 0.05) among the cowpea varieties. The specific .gravity ranged from 1.05 to 1.19 with Kananado Yar, Kananado Fari and Banjara having higher values than others, while water absorption capacity ranged from 1.14 to 1.60 g H2O/g sample for Kananado Fari and Banjara varieties respectively. Apparently, the outcome of this work would provide a basis for upgrading local techniques of cowpea processing in Nigeria

    Design of a rotary roaster for cassia sieberiana seeds
    (The Nigerian Institution of Agricultural Engineers, 2004) Olapade, A. A.; Akinoso, R.
    Two kilogram capacity roaster was designed and fabricated for purpose of roasting cassia sieberiana seeds obtained from an African plant, which is capable of being used as coffee substitute. During the testing of the roaster, physical changes on the seeds were monitored and found to be temperature and time dependent. Best samples of roasted cassia sieberiana was obtained at 200⁰C roasting temperature after 15minutes.
