The results of the proximate composition showed that the highest protein (36.32%) and ash (9.98%) contents were recorded in FPUB, while the highest fibre content (6.70%) was found in FPCT. The results of functional properties showed that the highest foaming capacity (4.23%) and stability (2.09%) was obtained in FPEB while FPUB had the highest water (364.77 %) and oil absorption (207.66 %) capacity and emulsion capacity (80.80 m2/g). The highest vitamin C content (184.00 mg/100g) was obtained in FPUB.

Bread making was done using a straight dough method and the resulting loaves were evaluated in terms of their weight, volume and texture. The developed bread samples were subjected to sensory analyses using a 9 point Hedonic scale. Data obtained were subjected to analysis of variance ANOVA and means separation by Duncan multiple range test. The proximate results ranged as follows: moisture (11.90-13.23%), protein (11.37-16.77%), fibre (1.07-3.50%), fat (0.77-1.41%) and starch (60.01- 73.67%). The flour samples had significantly higher (p 0.05) difference in the appearance, taste, texture and chewability of the local wheat bread samples but the control had significantly higher (p < 0.05) scores for these attributes.

Twelve male wistar rats were used for the study. They were randomly divided into four groups A, B, C and D made up of 3 rats each. The control group (A) received water + food ad libitum, group B received kola nitida (rubra) extract 600mg/kg body weight + water + food ad libitum, group (C) received kola nitida (vera) extract 600mg/kg body weight + water + food ad libitum, and group (D) received kola acuminata extract 600mg/ kg body weight + water + food ad libitum by oral administration for 28 days. The results showed that caffeine from different kola nuts had various effects on kidney and liver functions of the wistar rats. Administration of kola nitida (vera) significantly increased aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activities, with increases in urea, chloride, and sodium concentrations. Kola acuminata consumption resulted in an increase in total bilirubin, sodium, chloride, urea, creatinine levels and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activity. Administration of kola nitida (rubra) resulted in very high increase in aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activities as well as rise in creatinine, urea, chloride, total protein, total bilirubin levels and significantly decreased alkaline phosphatase activity. This study seems to suggest that frequent consumption of kola nuts might present some of these negative effects on the kidney and liver functions of humans.

It has the potential to contribute significantly to whole grain diets, wellness, economic status improvement and play an important role in medicine, animal feed and food security in a developing nation like Nigeria. Acha is a rich source of vitamins, minerals, fibre, carbohydrate, protein, amino acids containing methionine and cysteine. It has health benefits, because it is rich in energy, iron, aids digestion and cardiovascular function, good for diabetics, gluten-free diet, an excellent meal for weight loss, good for the skin and also hair formation. This cereal grain with excellent nutritional properties should be encouraged considering the challenging cost of health care. The exploitation of this grain requires a collaborated effort of the government, academia and the food industry to assist in funding the development of equipment that would make it possible to mechanize the production of the grain, if the growing population of Nigeria is to experience the full benefits of acha for active health life; hence this review.Keywords: Production, utilization, food security","PeriodicalId":19217,"journal":{"name":"Nigerian Food Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89413148","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}
