Effect Of Preparation On The Physical Structure, Water Uptake, Starch And Cyanide Content Of "IGHU"
ABSTRACT
Ighu
samples were collected from three locations (Isochi and Lokpa, Ahia State;
Ugwuoba in (Enugu State). The physical, and sensory characteristics, water
uptake, starch and cyanide contents were investigated. Physical parameters measured
included length, width, thickness, and cluster of the dry samples. Sensory
Characteristics evaluated were texture, aroma, appearance, and general
acceptability, on a 9-point Hedonic scale. Result showed that the typical
length, width and thickness of dry strands ranged from 5-11cm, 1.8- 2.96mm 0.59
— 1.22mm and 0.46-25cm respectively. The moisture content of the sample ranged
from 7-1 1 % samples from Lokpa had highest water uptake followed by Isuochi
II, Isuochi I, Ugwuoba II and Ugwuoba I in cold and hot water respectively. The
starch content ranged from 6-14 mg/bOg indicating wide variation in processing
method and/or varieties used. The cyanide content ranged from 5-20ppm which is
safe for human consumption. Panelists preferred the creamy white samples than
gray samples, hence the Ugwuoba and Isochi I samples were preferred more than
the other samples.
