Effect Of Parboiling And Holding Time On Dehulling Efficiency Of African Breadfruit (Treculia Africana) Seeds
ABSTRACT
A study to investigate
the effect of parboiling and holding time on dehulling efficiency of African
Breadfruit (Treciilia africana) seed was undertaken. Dehulling operation, to
an extent depends on parboiling process condition. Three process variable
conditions for parboiling the seeds (quantity of parboiled seeds, parboiling
temperature and parboiling time) and dehulling time for maximum kernel yield
were investigated. The proximate composition, mineral composition,
anti-nutritional contents of the dehulled seeds of African breadfruit were
determined. The proximate composition of African Breadfruit parboiled at 13
minutes and held at 0 hour were: protein (II 88%), ash (2 23%), fat (4.10%),
fibre (2.29%), moisture (10. 17%) and carbohydrate (69.37%). mineral composition were: potassium (0.61%),
sodium (0.]2°/), phosphorus (0 19%). magnesium (0,18%) and calcium (0.20%). The
anti-nutritional content were: Tannin (0.28%), alkaloid (0.22%), phytate
(0.15%), spooning (0.17%) and phenol (U.08%).The overall dehulling efficiency
when parboiled for 13 minutes range from 99 8! to 99,97 and when parboiled for
IS minutes range from 99.79 to 99.82.
