Quality Characteristics of Mixed Cubed Spices and Herb Produced from Uhiokirihio (Tetrapleura tetraptera), Ehuru (Monodora myristica), Nchuanwu (Ocimum gratissimum), and Uziza Seeeds (Piper guineense):- Ngozi, Leader C
ABSTRACT
This
study was on the quality characteristics of mixed cubed spices and herb
produced from Uhiokirihio (Tetrapleura tetraptera), Uziza (Piper guineense),
Ehuru (Monodora myristica) and Nchuanwu (Ocimum gratissimum) which were
fonnulated in ratios of 100:0:0:0 (LSA), 25:25:25:25 (LSB), 40:40:0:20 (LSC),
50:50:0:0 (LSD), 20:.20:40:20 (LSE) and 20:60: I 0: I 0 (LSF) with other
ingredients. The mixed cubed spices and herb were evaluated for their
phytochemical, chemical, physical, and sensory properties. The result of the
proximate analysis showed that the moisture content of the mixed cubed spices
and herb ranged from 9.11 to 9.78%. Sample LSA (100:0:0:0) had the lowest value
for fat (4.15%). Sample LSA (100:0:0:0) had the highest value of protein (15.74).
The produced mixed cubed spices and herb samples were higher in vitamins C
(66.74-88.14 mg/l00g). Sample LSA (100:0:0:0) had the highest value of
potassium (30. I 4 mg/l00g). In overall sensory acceptability, sample LSB
(25:25:25:25) was mostly preferred. However, the mixed cubed spices and herb
samples had higher nutritional potentials and would serve as functional
ingredient, and help reduce the harmful effects that arise as a result of the
consumption of several synthetic condiments and seasonings which may contain
one or more complex carcigenonic substances.
