    Evaluation of the effects of various additives on the acceptability of kilishi
    (Animal Science Association of Nigeria, 2003-12) Omojola, A. B.; Isah, O. A.; Adewumi, M. K.; Ogunsola, O. O.; Attah, S.
    The semitendinosus muscle of hot de-boned beef was trimmed of all visible fats, bones and connective tissue. The cleaned muscle was weighed and sliced into thin sheet of 0.17-0.20cm thick and between 60-80cm long. The sliced meat was infused with locally available spice, condiments and other materials such as salt, sugar, maggi seasoning, peanut paste and water. The local spices and condiments used include; onion, alligator pepper, cloves, chillies, ginger, 'gyadar miya’ (Hausa name), black pepper and spice mixture containing locust bean, groundnut powder and other seasoning. The experiment comprised of six(6) treatments. Treatment one (Tl), served as the control with all ingredients present while ginger, alligator pepper cloves, gyadamiya and black pepper were absent in T2 T3 T4 Ts and T6 respectively. The result of the taste panelist showed that in terms of flavour, the Kilishi where alligator pepper was absent was most preferred. The result also showed that one or two of the spices could replace each other without any marked deference in flavour, juiciness, pungency, tenderness and overall acceptability.

    Physical and organoleptic characteristics of pre- rigor leg-twisted red Sokoto goat carcasses
    (Journal Management System, 2012) Omojola, A. B.; Olusola, O. O.; Attah, S.; Ajewole, T. B.; Kassim, O. R.
    The efficiency of leg-twisting treatment as a method of improving goat muscle tenderness and eating qualities were determined. Twelve matured good grade Red Sokoto does were dressed conventionally with the hind hoofs retained on a randomly selected side of each carcass; Leg twisting was effected by inserting one hoof into a slit made anterior to the flank muscle. Both sides were suspended by the Achilles tendon and moved into the cold room within 30 min post-mortem and chilled for 48 hours. The semimembranosus (SM), the semitendinosus (ST) and the biceps femoris (BF) were excised from each half and used for the study. The result of the study showed that the sarcomere increased in all the three muscles as a result of leg-twisting. The treatment also improved tenderness by 1.4, 6.17 and 32.71 percent for SM, ST and BF muscles respectively. Except in the SM, where the water holding capacity (WHC) increased (P>0.05) there was a reduction in the WHC of the other two muscles while the drip loss increased as a result of leg-twisting in the three muscles. The sensory score for SM improved significantly (P<0.05) in all the parameter measured while the improvement in other muscles were not significant (P>0.05).
