ABSTRACT
Composite flour of African
breadfruit and corn with corn starch as a binder was formulated and used to
produce noodles. Different blends were formulated and cooked using different
cooking time and were subjected to sensory evaluation. The effects of the
cooking time on the sensory properties and the effects of physical and
physicochemical parameters on cooking were also investigated. Findings were
found to be useful in knowing blends with better sensory properties. These
degrees of positive correlation were shown by these parameters in predicting
cooking time. Hydration index 50% to 74.2%, swelling index 56.1% to 88%,
expansion ratio 79.2% to 97.7%, noodle diameter 79.2% to 97.8% and density
68.4% to 84.8%. Negative correlationship were shown by these parameters
hydration capacity 39.9% to 84.2%, swelling capacity 66.4% to 90.4%, mass 1.3%
to 88.4% and volume 13.9% to 86.6%.
