Proximate And Anti-Nutrients Evaluation Of Mix-Gruel Blends Of Wheat (Triticum Genus), Groundnut( Arachis Hypogea), Soybean (Glycine Max) And Dried Fish (Hophius Piscatories Spp.) For Breakfast
ABSTRACT
The
study evaluated the proximate and anti-nutrients composition of the mix-gruel
blend of wheat, groundnut, soyabean and dried fish for breakfast. This study
was done using six objectives and six research questions. Production of dried
mix-gruel blend was formulated based on different percentages. The study
adopted experimental research design to ascertain the proximate content,
anti-nutritional content and sensory attributes. The population of the study
was three hundred and eighty-seven staff and students from the Home
Science/Hospitality Management. Twenty-three persons served as the taste
panellists and were selected by multi-stage sampling techniques. Data obtained
was subjected to statistical analysis of variance (ANOVA). The sensory result
from the twenty three panelists revealed that there was no significant
different in the appearance, texture, taste and mouthfeel all the samples assessed.
Sample “B” (50% wheat, 20% groundnut, 20% soyabean,10% fish) has the highest
score on general acceptability. The result of proximate composition of the
blends of different samples showed that, there was a significant difference (P >
0.05) in ash, moisture, carbohydrates, crude fat, crude fibre and protein content.
The result of anti-nutritional factor was found to be low in the different
sample of the blend indicating possible bioavailability of the nutrient. The
micro-nutrient results showed that the there was a significant difference
(P<0.05) in the samples of blend. Based, on the findings of this study, it
was recommended, that families can introduce this mix-gruel in their menu. The
mix-gruel is richer in protein, carbohydrate, fat, vitamins, mineral and can as
well help fight this double burden of protein-energy malnutrition and
micro-nutrient deficiencies.
