The Effect Of Drying On Tile Chemical Composition And Sensory Evaluation Of African Breadfruit (Treculia Africana)
ABSTRACT
This study was conducted to determine the
effect of drying on the proximate, micronutrients, ant nutrients, microbial and
sensory properties of Treculia africana. The breadfruits were purchased; one
was left fresh and served as the control, while the other two samples were oven
dried at 65°C for l2hours and sundried for l0 days, respectively. Meals
prepared from the three samples were evaluated for nutrient content and sensory
properties. Oven drying improved the protein (18.20%) and carbohydrates
(73.10%) contents of Treculia Africana. However, cooking reduced the protein
content especially of the sundried breadfruit (12.34%) but increased the fat,
fibre and ash (7.21%, 4.3% and 5.08%), respectively. The result revealed that
drying reduced the micronutrient and ant nutrient content except for the oven
dried samples which ha the highest iodine content (8.13%). Meals prepared from
the three samples were acceptable to the panelists, but the sundried breadfruit
was most acceptable.
