Abstract
- The effect of drying and roasting on the physicochemical and sensory qualities of fufu powder were investigated. The four samples of fufu: cooked dried fufu, cooked roasted fufu, dried fufu slurry and roasted fufu slurry, respectively, were subjected to physicochemical and sensory analysis. The water binding index, water solubility index, and water absorption index, varies between 3.44 and 0.17 (g/g sample), 0.07 and 0.01 (g/g), and 4.73 and 0.83 (g/g) respectively, while the starch damage and amylose content varies between 50.8% and 0.4%, 10% and 13% respectively, with roasted fufu slurries recording the highest values. The proximate composition of dried and roasted fufu samples showed the values of fat (0.6%–0.4%), protein content (0.2%–0.1%), ash content (37.8%–1.0%), moisture content (8.2%–10.2%), crude fibre (1.25%–8.5%) and carbohydrate content (43.0%–84.65%) respectively. Generally, there were no appreciable differences in the proximate composition of dried fufu samples. The pasting temperature of fufu samples varies from 78 to 95°C with roasted fufu slurries recording the highest values. The peak viscosity of dried fufu samples ranges between (80 and 900BU) and viscosity at 50°C ranges between (260 and 460BU). There are no significant differences (P > 0.01) for the sensory qualities in term of color, taste, and overall acceptability except for odor and texture at (P < 0.01). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
