ABSTRACT
The study was carried out to evaluate the amino
acid profile, proximate composition, antioxidant and sensory properties of
yoghurt analogues produced from blends of soymilk and pigeon pea milks were
produced from pigeon pea milk. Milks were produced from pigeon pea and soybean
and the milks were blended into different proportions to obtain 4 samples
namely; 0:100, 10:90, 20:80 and 30:70 respectively and designated as PSY0,
PSY1, PSY2, PSY3 and cow milk (PSY4) served as control and all were used to
produce yoghurts. The yoghurts were analyzed for amino acid, proximate,
antioxidants and sensory properties using standard analytical methods. The
amino acids results showed significant (p < 0.05) differences in both the
essential and non-essential amino acids. The proximate results showed that
moisture, protein, ash, fat and carbohydrate contents decreased as the percc”*
inclusion of pigeon pea to soybean increased. However, the protein content of
the yoghurt analogue, were higher than that of the control (cow milk yoghurt).
The energy values decreased with the increase in the addition of pigeon pea in
the blends and all were lower than energy value of die control sample. The
antioxidants (DPPH, FRAP and ABTS) showed significant differences (p < 0.05)
and higher values were obtained for the yoghurt analogues compared to the
control sample. The sensory results showed that the control sample (PSY4) was
more preferred followed by sample PSY0 and sample PSY1. Good quality and
acceptable yoghurts can be produced from blends ofsoymilk and pigeon pea milk
and is therefore recommended
