Item Proximate and oragnoleptic analysis of carrot-fortified and vanilla flavoured cakes(2023) Apata, O. C.; Fashipe, J. T.; Meludu, N. T.This study investigated the proximate and organoleptic properties of carrot-fortified and vanilla flavoured cake. Specifically, it determined: proximate composition of carrot-fortified and vanilla flavoured cake: and organoleptic properties of carrot-fortified and vanilla flavoured cake. Samples of the products were prepared using standard methods. The product was divided into two parts, one part was subjected to proximate analysis while the other part was subjected to sensor}' evaluation. Proximate analysis of carrot- fortified and vanilla flavoured cake was carried out using standard methods. Twenty panellists were involved in the sensory evaluation of the products. A 7-point hedonic scale was used to collect data on the organoleptic properties of the samples. Dahl for sensory evaluation were analysed using percentages (%). Result of proximate analysis showed that carrot-fortified cake had the highest content of protein (15.6%). Moisture Content (15.6%)), ash (2.4%). crude fibre (I.2%), Tannins (55mg/100g), Saponins (35mg/100g) 35, Ascorbic Acid (14.5mg/100g), Carotenoids (350µg/100g), Thiamine (0.21mg/100)g), Riboflavin (0.17mg/100g), Niacin (2.65mg/100g) and lowest content of fat (25.0%), carbohydrate (42.2%) when compared to vanilla-flavoured cake. Also, the organoleptic result showed that carrot-fortified cake was ranked higher and accepted by the panellists when compared to vanilla flavoured cake based on the 7-point hedonic scale rating. Rased on these findings it was recommended that: further research could be carried out on the shelf life of carrot cake and mode of preservation with the use of natural preservatives such as vinegar and physiochemical analysis of the cakes during different stages of storage.Item Proximate and organoleptic analysis of cassava-based snack (combo bits) and chin-chin(Home Economics Research Association of Nigeria, 2023-09) Apata, O. C.; Joseph, R. O.This study investigated the proximate and organoleptic properties of combo bits and chin-chin. Specifically, it determined: proximate composition of combo bits and chin-chin, organoleptic properties of combo bits and chin-chin. Samples of combo bits and chin-chin were prepared using standard methods. One part of each product was subjected to proximate analysis while the other part was subjected to sensory evaluation. Proximate analysis of combo bits and chin-chin were carried out using standard methods. Twenty panelists were involved in sensory evaluation of both products. A 9-point hedonic scale was used to collect data on the sensory properties of combo bits and chin-chin. Data for sensory evaluation were analyzed using percentages (%). Findings indicate variations in the proximate analysis values (%) of combo bits and chin-chin. Also, combo bits was ranked higher when compared to chin-chin based on the 9-point hedonic scale rating for overall acceptability. Furthermore, none of the snacks was rated as being disliked (0%). There were however, variations in their ratings for “being liked”, ranging from, for instance, “liked moderately” in colour for combo bits (38.6%), “liked slightly” in colour for combo bits (20.5%), “liked very much” in colour for combo bits (30.1%); for chin-chin, “liked moderately” in colour for chin-chin (38.6%), “liked slightly” in colour for chin-chin (20.5%), “liked very much” in colour for chin-chin (19.3%). Based on findings two recommendations were made.Item Quality and acceptability evaluation of soy-cheese (tofu) enhanced with meat(Bangladesh Meat Science Association, 2023-03) Apata, E. S.; Sunmola, R. A.; Sunmola, R. A.; Olaleye, O. O.; Apata, O. C.The study was carried out to determine the quality and acceptability of soy-cheese (Tofu) enhanced with different meat types. 40g of raw soybeans, 40g of each meat type-beef, mutton, chevon, chicken and 5g of industrial grade calcium sulphate (CaSo4) were used for this study. The meat types + Tofu constituted the treatments, thus: T0 = Tofu only (control), Ti = Tofu + beef, T2 = Tofu + mutton, T3 = Tofu + chevon, T4 = Tofu + chicken meat. Data were collected and analysed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) at p<0.05. The meat Tofu products samples showed significant differences (p<0.05) in physical, chemical and the sensorial variables tested with chicken meat Tofu (T4) having highest (p<0.05) yield, water holding capacity, protein, fat, ash, all the organoleptic and overall acceptability values. This study supplied first hand information on the effect of meat inclusion in Tofu, therefore, chicken meat could be included in Tofu at ratio of 1:1 for quality and acceptability enhancement.Item Acceptability of processed tiger nut (cyperpus esculentus) milk by visitors in Agodi gardens of Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria(2021-12) Apata, O. C.; Rabiu, Z. O.; Alab,i R. A.; Muh’d Bashir-Adeshina, S. B.The acceptability of processed tiger nut (Cyperpus esculentus) milk by visitors to Agodi Gardens, Ibadan was assessed. Tiger nut was mechanically processed into milk, packaged in plastic sample bottles and presented to 70 selected visitors in the garden. Data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics, multiple regression and Spearman correlation at a0.05. The results revealed that most respondents were female (54.3%), single (65.7%), and possessed tertiary education (86.6%). Majority (72.1%) were aware of tiger nut milk, out of which 55.7% have taken it before. The colour of the product was ranked highest (1.60±0.75). This was followed by the ranking of the packaging material (1.77±0.95) and taste (2.14±2.08). The least ranked characteristics were flavour (2.34±1.13) and aroma (2.36±0.95). The overall acceptability (1,86±0.80) of the product was high. Taste, flavour and aroma significantly (p<0.005) influenced overall acceptability. The taste, aroma and flavour of the beverage should be enhanced using fruits like Pineapple, Strawberry, Apple and Orange. Sweetener like Honey or Coconut milk can also be used to enhance the taste and flavour; in order to make it more appealing to the consumers.
