Abstract

This study is examined the effect of using different pretreatment methods on the quality of smoke-dried sardine fish. The fish samples were pretreated using salt, and some natural spices (cloves, nutmeg and yaji) prior to smoke drying. The proximate composition, minerals, physicochemical properties and microbial analysis of the fish samples were analyzed using standard analytical methods and data obtained were analyzed using ANOVA and significance accepted for P< 0.05. Result of proximate analysis showed a moisture range of 10.46 -37.20%, ash 13.81-17.57%, fat 5.81-9.24%, protein 37-46.31% and carbohydrate 5.57-26.74%. Mineral compositions (mg/100g) were in the range of 2.00 – 2.11 Mg, 25.25-25.85Ca, 14.40-14.55 potassium, 10.29-10.72 Na and iron ranged from 1.59-1.71. Low pH and TBA values obtained are indication that rancidity will not occur during storage. Bacteria and fungi count were 2.0 x 108 and 2.4 x 108 CFU/g respectively. The fish treated with Yaji and Brine was mostly preferred in all the sensory attributes. However, all samples differed with respect to overall acceptability.

Abstract

There has been increasing interest in culinary spices for their health benefits besides flavour. This study assessed the comparative effect of oven-drying on the chemical composition of selected leafy spices. Fresh Uziza (Piper guineense), Curry (Murraya koenigii), Nchanwu (Ocimum gratissimum), Parsley (Petroselinum crispum) and, Mint leaves (Mentha spicata) were assessed for proximate composition, then dried in an oven at 65 °C for 25 min. The dried spice leaves were analysed for their proximate composition, mineral contents, phytochemicals, antioxidants, and sensory properties. Proximate analysis showed that moisture content of fresh leafy spices reduced (8.76-10.23%) after drying (3.15 to 5.02%) while fat (1.57-2.83), protein (4.64-5.87%), fibre (1.15-2.83%) and ash (7.89-11.15%) increased after drying. Mineral contents of spices ranged from 7.15-140.05 mg/100g for sodium, 10.04-330.90 mg/100g for potassium and 12.75-305.30 mg/100g for calcium. Parsley spice leaves had the highest concentration of investigated phytochemicals, total polyphenols (43.36 mg/100g) and vitamin C (20.76%). Nchanwu leaves had the highest DPPH activity (75.66%) while Mint leaves had the highest FRAP (μmol/g) and vitamin E (29.98%). The sensory acceptability scores were high (6.95-8.00). The results reveal that oven-drying improved the concentration of nutrients and antioxidant activities and is effective in preserving leafy spices.

Abstract

Feasibility of plant ash fortification on the proximate, mineral, Physico-chemical and sensory properties of juice blends from paw-paw, orange and pineapple fruits was investigated with standard analytical methods. The juice blend was divided into 5 parts of 500 ml each and four portions were fortified with 5%, 10%, 20%, and 30% of plant ash while the remaining unfortified portion was the control. With increase in plant ash fortification levels, proximate composition revealed increase in ash (0.8 to 2.50%) and carbohydrate (5.60 to 5.95%) while protein (1.45 to 1.05%), fat (2.00 to 1.15%) and moisture (90.15 to 88.40%) decreased. Sodium (25.39 to 57.12 mg/100ml), potassium (80.53 to 104.78 mg/100ml), magnesium (51.60 to 80.64 mg/100ml) calcium (102.62 to 141.79 mg/100ml) and phosphorous (53.54 to 79.89 mg/100ml) all increased. The pH (4.85 to 9.10) and total soluble solids (7.05 to 10.95) increased while colour (0.138 to 0.110) decreased. General acceptability (7.10 to 6.20) decreased. Fortification with plant ash is feasible but should not exceed 10% to avoid rejection.

Abstract

This study investigated the cyanide, moisture and microbial content of white and yellow gari sampled from the five market locations using standard analytical methods. Cyanide levels of white gari samples from Ndoki market location was least (0.122mgHCN) and highest (0.429mgHCN) in Isialangwa market location. Yellow gari samples had the least cyanide content (0.121mgHCN) in Ndoki market location and highest (0.373mgHCN) in Isialangwa market location. Moisture content of white gari samples was least (6.32%) in Ndoki market location and highest (10.16%) in Ndoro market location while yellow gari was least (5.82%) in Uzuakili market location and highest (11.26%) in Ariara market location. Total bacterial count of white gari was least (2.15cfu/g) in Ndoki market location and highest (3.10cfu/g) in Ariara market location. Yellow gari sample was least (2.40cfu/g) in Ndoki market location and highest (3.20cfu/g) in Ariara market location. Total fungi count of white gari was least (1.16cfu/g) in Ndoki market location and highest (2.70cfu/g) in Ariara market location while the yellow gari cyanide was least (1.07cfu/g) in Ndoki market location and highest (2.90cfu/g) in Ariara market location. All the quality indexes evaluated varied significantly (p<005) with market locations and lower than recommended safe limits.
