Evaluation Of The Physico-Chemical Properties Of Fluted Pumpkin Pulp (Telfairia Occidentalis Hook .L.)
ABSTRACT
Fluted pumpkin pulp (Telfairia occidentalis Hook .f. was
subjected to various analyse which include evaluation of its nutritional
properties (proximate), functional properties, mineral compositions and anti-
nutritional qualities. The proximate analysis yielded 88.633, 5.021, 1.687, and
1.203%, of moisture, fat, crude fibre and ash respectively. In the analysis of
the functional properties the values were obtained. The emulsion capacity of
the sample was 47.410g/g, oil absorption apcity was 3.474g/ml, and its bulk
density was 0.809g/ml and the wettability of the sample which lasted for
1810sec. The mineral contents were observed to be as follows; the magnesium as
290.6, potassium was 506, and sodium was about 219mg/kg respectively, The
manganese was 38.1, iron was 116. 1 and aluminum was about 0.028mg/kg. The
anti-nutrients tannin, alkaloids, flavonoids and saponnins also analyzed for in
the samp1e had the following values: 4.6 18, 3.853, 3.587, and 0.393%
respectively.
