Pawpaw (Carica papaya L.) is a tropical plant grown for its edible fruit, having commercial importance because of its high nutritive and medicinal value. However, it is highly perishable. Hence, its processing and preservation are important to retain the product quality and nutritional value. This study investigated the effect of drying methods on the nutrient and organoleptic qualities of pawpaw. Fresh pawpaw fruits were purchased at Oje market in Ibadan, Nigeria. The pawpaw samples were sorted, washed with clean water, peeled and sliced into chips, then the chips were dried using five techniques - solar, open sun, oven, cabinet and dehydrator. Fresh and dried samples were evaluated for physico-chemical properties, selected bioactive compounds, colour, fibre, microbial quality and organoleptic properties. Significant (p≤0.05) differences were observed in the effects of the drying techniques employed. The pawpaw samples that were dried in the dehydrator had significantly (p≤0.05) higher amounts of bioactive compounds and TSS (8.10 ± 0.00°Bx). They also had the most appealing organoleptic properties and showed the least bacterial growth (0.14 ± 0.21 x 104cfu/g) in comparison to the samples dried using other techniques and the fresh sample (91.5 ± 13.44 x 104). While the sun-dried samples had the least fungal load (0.05 ± 0.07 x 103) in comparison to the samples dried using other techniques and the fresh sample (315 ± 7.07 x 103). Results also showed that the samples dried in the dehydrator were the lightest (26.81 ± 0.01) and yellowest (11.42 ± 0.00) of all dried samples. Generally, findings from the study showed that dried fruits portray a greater nutrient density and increased shelf life compared to fresh fruits.","PeriodicalId":10771,"journal":{"name":"Croatian journal of food science and technology","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136017053","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of this study was to find a use for this underutilized industrial waste by producing flakes from coconut flour using different binding agents and to evaluate their physical, functional and chemical properties. Coconut flour was produced from coconut copra, followed by processing of six batches of coconut flakes with different binders (xanthan gum, guar gum, ofor seed gum, achi seed gum and cassava starch) and a control sample with no binding agent. The proximate composition, mineral content, caprylic acid, colour and functional properties of the coconut flake samples were evaluated using standard methods. The crude protein, ash, crude fat, crude fibre and moisture content of the coconut flakes ranged from 8.46-10.21%, 1.01-1.40%, 0.94-0.99%, 2.55-2.82% and 1.89-2.45% respectively. The binding agents had a significant effect in retaining the aroma compound (caprylic acid) of the coconut flakes (1.48 - 2.45%), compared with the sample without a binding agent (1.37%). The calcium, iron, magnesium and sodium content in coconut flake samples ranged from 2.71 to 4.52 mg/100g, 1.57 to 2.06 mg/100g, 9.58 to 10.53 mg/100 g and 502 – 943 mg/kg respectively. The binding agents had no significant effect on the bulk density (0.13 to 0.15 g/cm3), but significantly increased the water absorption capacity of the coconut flakes from 78.23% to 126 – 164%. The L*, a* and b*colour parameters of the coconut flakes ranged from 72.41 to 93.38; -0.12 to +4.89 and 10.04 to 21.95 and the colour difference (delta Chroma), colour intensity and hue angle varied from 1.90 to 12.07, 6.75 to 24.17 and 77.13-91.44 respectively.

Schott) is an important crop which serves as a staple food for a large number of people in developing nations including Nigeria. Its perishability necessitates immediate processing after harvest to obtain products such as chips, flakes and flour with better storage stability. Proper selection of appropriate packaging materials for cocoyam flour is important to maintain the quality attributes during storage and to extend its shelf life. This study, therefore, examined the influence of packaging materials and storage period on the quality of cocoyam flour. Cocoyam flour was produced from fresh, wholesome cormels. The flour samples were stored in three packaging materials (polyethylene terephthalate [PET] bottles, polyethylene bags and woven polypropylene sacks) for six months under ambient conditions. The flour samples were then analyzed at four-week intervals for proximate composition, pH, colour and sensory analysis using standard methods. The results showed that packaging materials and length of storage significantly affected crude fibre and carbohydrate content of cocoyam flour. The moisture content of the flour packed in woven polypropylene decreased to a larger extent due to its higher water vapour permeability. The type of packaging did not significantly affect the crude fat content of the flour throughout the storage period. The PET bottle performed better in retaining the protein and ash content of the flour. Although significant differences were observed in the pH levels and colour of the cocoyam flour samples after storage in the different packaging materials, the type of packaging material did not affect these physicochemical properties. The sensory properties of the cocoyam flour in three packaging materials were found to be within acceptable limits at the end of storage. All the selected packaging materials performed well in retaining the quality attributes of the cocoyam flour throughout the period of storage.","PeriodicalId":10771,"journal":{"name":"Croatian journal of food science and technology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46589326","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both plantain and lima bean are resilient and locally available, especially in the south west of Nigeria, though lima bean is underutilized. The study developed pudding (momo) from plantain and lima bean in order to evaluate the functional properties of the flour and nutrient content of the product and enhance lima bean utilization for nutrition and food security. Composite flour from various combination ratios of unripe plantain and lima bean flour was processed into momo products. The functional properties of the flour samples as well as the nutrient content of the momo products were evaluated. The multivariance analysis approach was used to study the relationship between the chemical data, principal components and experimental samples. There was no significant difference (p>0.05) n the bulk density of the plantain flour and lima bean flour. Water absorption capacity, oil absorption capacity and swelling power were highest in plantain-lima bean flour (PLF). The higher the lima bean flour in the composite mixture, the higher the protein content of the momo samples. Potassium and phosphorous were the highest in 100% plantain-momo, while iron, antioxidant activity and phytochemical compounds were the highest in momo samples containing 50% plantain flour and 50% lima bean flour. The Principal Component Analysis (PCA) of the momo samples showed the locations of the nutrient data and the samples in the quadrants. The PCA revealed that the momo samples were high in the evaluated chemical nutrients.
