CONSUMERS ACCEPTABILITY AND PHYSICO CHEMICAL QUALITY OF BREAKFAST FROM MALTED SORGHUM (Sorghum vulgarc var K.S.V.S) “ACHA”(Digitaria exilib) AND CASSAVA (Manihot esculante) Starch

ABSTRACT

Breakfast cereal was formulated using malted sorghum sorghum Vulgare  ksvs, “Acha†Digitare exilis flour and  cassava, manihot  esculenta,  T.M.S 4 (2) 1425 starch. The formula was composed of 90g sorghum and “Acha†flour, 10g cassava starch using five different sample ratios; sample A1, (70,20:10), sample B1  (60:30:10), sample C1 (50:40:10), sample D1 (40:50:10) and sample E1 (30:60:10) respectively. The result of the physico- chemical properties and sensory evaluation of the products shoed that sample A had best swelling capacity and gelation temperature of 140% and 730c respectively compared with other sample, including sample E, which exhibited very poor result of 100% swelling capacity and 700c gelation temperature. The ash, crude fibre and moisture contents of sample A were 3:20, 058 and 4.0 respectively in contrast to sample E, which had low result respectively 3.00, 0.54 and 5.0. In terms of flavour, colour, texture and consistency all the sample were generally accepted at 5% and 1% significant difference.
