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 Effect of utilising different concentrations of food grade vinegar as preservative on the quality of beef(2022) Apata, E. S.; Adegoke, M. A.; Apata, O. C.; Olugbemi, M. T.; Ogungbayi, G. B.; Okolosi, J. E.The influence of different concentrations of food grade vinegar as preservative on beef quality was evaluated in this study. Five levels of vinegar concentrations were tested and each constituted a treatment viz: T0 = (control) Freezer, T1 = 5%, T2 = 4%, T3 = 3%, T4 = 2%, and T5 = 1%. 1.5kg beef was purchased, chilled at 4oC for 24 hours, and apportioned to 6 parts of 250g per treatment. Beef samples were injected with vinegar (25 ml) in each treatment using a hypodermic needle and syringe and were immersed in same concentration in plastic containers and preserved for 14 days. The results indicated that vinegar concentrations significantly (p<0.05) affected beef quality fac-tors especially beef in T3 (3%) which furnished lower values of detrimental physical factors; cooking loss (12.23), thermal shortening (5.20) and drip loss (10.40), lipid oxidation mPV (0.11), TBA (0.22), microbial load TVC (4.60), TCC (3.29), TFC (2.38) and TAC (3.43) relative to other levels of vinegar concentrations. The same treatment (T3) elicited higher, cooking yield (87.77), raw meat colour (6.00), protein (20.47), flavour (6.70), texture (6.87) and overall acceptability (7.67) in comparison with other treatments of vinegar. It was recommended therefore; 3% vinegar could be utilized to preserve beef since it enlisted high shelf-life quality factors and acceptability.Item Ready to eat dry foods refrigerated meals, shelf stable food etc mixes like cake mixes are all examples of convenience foods in Nigeria. Organoleptic properties of food such as color, taste, flavor, aroma, and texture have distinct and influential effect on food acceptability and specifically influence the decision that a consumer makes regarding the preference of food substance. Despite being a rich source of complex carbs vitamins and minerals, plantains are quite simple to digest. It serves only as a replacement side dish and is often consumed with other foods. It has not yet been completely developed to create snack items in terms of vitamins and other nutrients. This study aimed at investigating the proximate and organoleptic analysis of plantain mosa and puff-puff and specifically compared the level of their acceptability. Proximate analysis of plantain mosa and puff-puff were carried out in the Laboratory to ascertain their level of composition of moisture content, protein,fat,ash, crude fibre and carbohydrate. One hundred samples of sensory evaluation forms were administered to respondents comprising of all kind of visitors at University of Ibadan Hotel under University of Ibadan ventures in its environ to assess the organoleptic properties of plantain mosa and puff-puff to determine most preferred sample. Random and convenience sampling were used to determine the respondents at the hotel. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (use of charts and percentage). The findings included variations in the proximate analysis value of Plantain mosa and puff-puff.(Africa Circular Economy Research and Policy Network (ACERPiN), 2024) Apata, O. C.; Oyewole, M. F.; Amusan, J. T.Chin-chin is a popular snack across Nigeria made from wheat flour and fried with fats/oils or sometimes baked. It is regarded as being nutritionally poor, as cereal wheat lacks essential amino acids such as lysine and threonine, hence substituting wheat flour with cheap staples, such as cereals, tubers and pulses; helps increase the nutritional quality of food products. However, chin-chin made from sweet potato and cowpea composite flour has not gained a high level of popularity and acceptance from the public compared to wheat flour chin-chin. Only a few percentage of people know about the potential of making confectionary and snacks food using sweet potato and the range of essential nutrients in the sweet potato flour that is lacking in processed wheat flour and how this sweet potato and cowpea flour can be easily produced and raw materials readily available in the open market. This study was aimed at evaluating the overall acceptability of chin -chin made with sweet potato –cowpea flour and the awareness of sweet potato – cowpea flour chin-chin as compared to the popular wheat flour chin-chin. The study was carried out in the University of Ibadan. Structured questionnaire (sensory evaluation form) was administered to respondents. The overall acceptability showed that sweet potato – cowpea flour was well accepted by respondents. The color, taste, aroma, texture of the snack were rated high by respondents. The level of awareness and consumption of sweet potato –cowpea flour chin-chin was assessed and it was observed that a large percentage of the respondent were not aware that chin-chin can be made with any other type of flour (in this case sweet potato-cowpea flour) other than wheat flour and have never eaten sweet potato –cowpea flour chin-chin.
