    Notes: Dehydrated fermented maize meal samples fortified with soy flour at 0, 10, and 20% replacement concentrations were stored at 25, 35, 45 and 60°C. Selected samples were analyzed for nonenzymatic browning, lipid oxidation, available lysine loss, and change in pasting properties during storage. Production of browning pigments followed zero order kinetics with activation energies of 125-150 KJ/mole. Multi-phase loss of available lysine was observed in soy fortified maize meal but not in unfortified samples. Total carbonyl content of the samples increased during storage. Considerable changes in pasting properties of the samples occurred during the first 2 months of storage at 25 and 35°C. Nineteen weeks of storage at 35°C caused adverse changes in sensory quality of the 10% soy fortified sample, but not in the unfortified sample.

    Notes: Fermented maize meal was air dried at 60°C and fortified with defatted soy flour at 0%, 10% and 20% replacement levels on dry basis. The effects on protein quality were determined by chick growth response studies and amino acid analysis, while sensory characteristics were evaluated by triangle and preference tests. Air drying did not affect chick growth response but slightly reduced preference of the meal. The drying caused only 6% and 16% losses in total and available lysine contents, respectively. Soy fortification of air-dried maize meal at 10% improved sensory preference to the same degree as freshly fermented meals and increased the protein quality significantly over both freeze-dried unfortified control and air-dried unfortified meals. Twenty percent soy fortified maize meal had low sensory score although the nutritive value was substantially increased.

    Notes: Abstract Studies were conducted to develop an appropriate household/small-scale enterprise level technique for the production of soy-fortified fermented maize dough (or meal) by comparing different treatments, processing methods and fortification levels. The effects of fortification method of the Ghanaian traditional fermented maize dough with raw or heat-treated whole soybeans and full-fat soyflour at 0%, 10% and 20% replacement levels, on the rate of fermentation and product quality were investigated. Sensory characteristics, trypsin inhibitor activity, amino acid pattern, proximate composition and hot paste viscosity were used as the indices of quality. Addition of whole soybeans to maize before milling and fermentation reduced the fermentation time by 60% while increasing the protein content by 24% and 70% respectively for 10% and 20% levels of fortification. A significant improvement was also achieved in the amino acids pattern of the fortified dough. However, raw whole soybeans imparted an undesirable color and beany flavor and an appreciable concentration of trypsin inhibitor activity (TIA) to the dough. Boiling soybeans for 20 min before incorporation into the maize for milling and fermentation was found necessary for desirable flavor and low levels of TIA. Little or no changes in the pasting viscosity characteristics occurred in samples containing boiled soybeans, while the usual method of fortifying maize meal with soy flour was found to severely depress the pasting viscosity characteristics and drastically reduced the acidity of the fermented dough. Based on the findings of the study, the most appropriate technique for the production of soy-fortified high protein fermented maize dough has been suggested to involve incorporation of boiled whole soybeans in soaked maize before milling and fermentation for improved sensory characteristics, enhanced nutritive value and optimal functional properties.

    Notes: Abstract The effects of cowpea and amino acid supplementation on the protein quality and chemical characteristics of a maize-based West African traditional weaning food were studied. Process optimization for improved nutritive value was also determined. Supplementation of the traditional weaning food with cowpea increased the lysine, tryptophan and threonine content while the sulphur-amino acids decreased with increasing levels of cowpea. Further supplementation of 70:30 maize/cowpea blends with lysine, threonine or methionine did not significantly improve (p〉0.05) protein quality in terms of the biological value (BV) and net protein utilization (NPU), although significant increases in the protein scores were noted. However, considerable improvements in the BV and NPU were recorded in blends fortified with either tryptophan alone or a combination of lysine, tryptophan, methionine and threonine. Cooking whole cowpea seeds for 45 min before incorporating in the blend formulation also significantly improved (p〈0.05) the protein quality of maize/cowpea blends. The BV and NPU of blends containing 30% pre-cooked cowpea increased from 52 to 76% and 50 to 71% respectively compared to pure maize porridge. The protein content increased from 10 to 14% and the utilizable proteins more than doubled. The weight increase of experimental rats fed with these blends was comparable to that of rats on casein diet. A 30% supplementation of the maize-based weaning food with cowpea therefore greatly enhances the nutritive value especially when the cowpea is pre-cooked for 45 min. Use of chemical scores alone for such blends cannot be a reliable index of blend quality.

    Notes: Abstract Four popular West African local cultivars of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata), with distinctly different seed coat colors, were evaluated for their relative amylograph pasting characteristics, condensed tannin content, in vitro protein digestibility and Tetrahymena protein efficiency ratio (t-PER). The effects of roasting and dehulling on these properties were also determined. There were wide variations in the hot paste viscosity characteristics of the different cultivars studied. The raw cowpea flour samples exhibited maximum paste viscosities ranging between 260 Brabender Units (BU) for the Mottled cultivar and 460 BU for the cream-colored Blackeye cultivar. Cowpea cultivars with the greatest peak viscosities showed low stabilities to extended cooking. Roasting depressed paste viscosity properties of all the cowpea cultivars studied. Tannin concentrations were 0.3–6.9 and 7.2–116 mg CE/g flour from whole cowpea seeds and seed coats respectively, increasing with intensity of seed color. Although dehulling removed 98% of the tannin content of raw cowpeas, improvement in protein quality as a result of dehulling was observed for only the highly-pigmented Maroon-red variety. Roasting significantly improved digestibility and more than doubled the t-PER of all cowpea cultivars studied. Roasted cowpeas possess adequate nutritional and functional qualities as protein supplements in cereal-based weaning foods. However, it appears that dehulling is necessary to enhance the nutritional quality of the highly pigmented cultivars of cowpea.
