Custard powder is a dry-formulated food product primarily made from imported corn starch in developing countries. To reduce over-dependence on corn starch, this study investigated its replacement with yellow-fleshed cassava root starch (YfCRS) in custard powder formulation. Response surface metho...
Some individuals are intolerant to gluten of wheat and other cereals like oats, rye and barley used for food formulations and this intolerance seriously impairs intestinal absorption. There is need to develop alternative gluten-free flours for baking and confectioneries. This research therefore a...

Evaluation of nutritional and functional properties of plantain (Musa paradisiaca L.) and tigernut (Cyperus esculentus L.) flour blends for food formulations
The Moisture Adsorption Isotherm of three Yellow-fleshed Cassava Root Starches (YfCRS) were
determined by the static gravimetric method at temperatures of 27 oC, 37 oC and 42 oC and water
activities level of between 0.10 and 0.80. Data obtained were fitted to four sorption models (Peleg,
GAB, Osw...
This study investigated the potential of unripe plantain (UP) and orange vesicle (OV) composite flour for cookies production. Proximate composition, functional properties, vitamins and mineral composition of the composite flour were carried out. Data obtained was subjected to Analysis of Variance...
Chinchin has been identified to be one the favoured food items and a much-relished pastry which has been eaten as dessert or snack. This study aimed at evaluating the nutritional quality and organoleptic properties of black-pepper enriched Chinchin produced from plantain-tigernuts composite flour...

Quality evaluation of snack produced from black pepper (Piper nigrum L.), plantain (Musa paradisiaca L.) and tigernut (Cyperus esculentus L.) flour blends
his study is aimed at supplementing Watermelon rind flour (WF) into cakes production with Plantain Flour (PF). Six cake samples were produced from the composite mixture of PF and WF in varying proportions of 100:0, 90:10, 80:20,70:30, 60:40 and 50:50. The composite flour of plantain-watermelon ri...
The effects of length of fermentation (5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 days) on pasting properties of sour starches produced from six cassava varieties were investigated. There were significant differences (p < 0.05) in pasting properties except pasting temperature and breakdown irrespective of the days of ...
