ABSTRACT
Soybean powder (CP, OR, NM, UM,
and Cl) from different processors in Umuahia Abia State were purchased in
Umuahia main markets and major centre's were soybean is sold in Umuahia.
Analyses were carried out on these samples to determine their safety and
quality. Among analysis carried out include proximate, Anti-nutrients,
vitamins, minerals, and microbial analysis. The results obtained from the
proximate analysis show that the soy powder (CP, OR, NM, UM, and Cl) are higher
in Fat/oil, Carbohydrates, Fibre and Ash with the values, 20.08-23.60%,
30.52-63.14%, 3.20-3.72%, 4.86-5.92% respectively. The soy samples were also
higher in vitamin A (21.75-32.92tg/g). it was observed that the phosphorus
contents of soy bean powder are higher than other minerals with values(4.52-
4.90(mg/100g)). The level of Tannin (1.5lmg/100g) and Trypsin
inhibitors(1.57mg/100g) are higher in the soybean powders than Haemaglutin and
Phytates. Different microbial analysis where carried out on the soy powders
such as Escherichia coil, Yeast and Mould, and Staphylococcus aureus , which
yeast and Mould and E.coli are higher with values (1.9x105-3.8x105and 2.010-
5.3x105cfu/g) respectively.
