Production And Evaluation Of Biscuit Produced From Blends Of Egusi (Citrullus Lanatus), Usu (Pleurotus Tuber -Reguim) And Wheat Flour
ABSTRACT
Egusi (melon)
flour sample was defatted using two different methods; (Manual defatted and
solvent methods) usu (pleurotus tuber -regium) and wheat flours were blended
together with the defatted sample to form composite flour. The chemical and
functional of the blends were investigated. The flours were used to make
biscuit using different ratio of substitution 60E:30U:IOW,50E:40U:IOW, 70E:20U:IOW,
80E:IOU:IOW, and 100% Wheat and used to bake biscuit, this followed statistical
analysis of the Proximate composition, functional properties of the flour and
sensory score of the biscuits produce were also determined. Result revealed
that defatting improved the textured, color, taste, and general acceptability
of the biscuit and cause decrease in flavor of the biscuit as a result of
decrease in fat content of the flour. The result of the functional properties of
the flour revealed that egusi and usu flour could be useful in food product
which require aeration for textural aesthetic and leaving purpose.
