The data were analysed using the procedure of two-way ANOVA using GLM of SPSS. Protein and fat content of Gulabjamuns de- creased with increase in the storage periods irrespective of soyflour supplementation in Gulabjamuns and storage condition. The shelf life of Gulabjamuns at ambient (26.60°C to 36.25°C) and refrigeration (4 to 7°C) conditions were varied from 8 to 10 days and 10 to 14 days, respectively. Decrease of protein and fat content (%) during storage varied from 18.29 to 30.37% and 31.02 to 34.44% in ambient and 19.98 to 30.93% and 19.27 to 36.21% in refrigerator condition, respectively. Textural behaviour of stored Gulabjamuns was increased with increase in the soyflour supplementation, storage period and supple- mentation of 6.66% soyflour is best. Cereals are the major source of protein in Indian diet, which has an inferior quality of protein as compared to other vegetable and animal proteins. Soybean is one of the nature's wonderful nutritional gifts. It is one of the very few plants that provide a complete protein with minimum satu- rated fat. Regular consumption of soybean helps to prevent cancer, reduce cholesterol level, combating osteoporosis and menopause regulation. Soybeans contain all the three essential macro nutrients required for good nutrition, com- plete protein (40%), carbohydrate (18%), fat (18%) and moisture (9%) apart from vitamins and minerals (5%), in- cluding folic acid, calcium, potassium and iron (National Soybean Research Laboratory, 2008; Singh et. al., 2009). Soybean protein also provides all the nine essential amino acids in the amounts needed for human health. The amino acid pattern of soy protein is virtually equivalent in quality to that of meat, milk and egg protein. Soybeans are most valued nutritionally for their unsaturated fatty acids, protein and fiber content (10%). The recent nutritional survey con- ducted by Food and Nutrition Board of Govt. of India sug- gests that, India is facing protein calorie malnutrition; intake of pulses and availability of oil is less than","PeriodicalId":276875,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Food Science and Nutrition Engineering","volume":"7 7","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113963154","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}

On the contrary, cashewnut oil had the highest fungal count and soybean oil the least. The microbial profile of the associated organisms consists of Bacillus subtilis B. licheniformis, Proteus vulgaris, P. mirabilis, Aspergillus niger and Rhizopus spp. The slightly elevated microbial count of oils stored under display conditions in the present work seems to be suggesting that the use of antioxidants with antimicrobial property may be helpful in slowing down microbial growth and deteroration in the oils exposed to similar conditions in most Nigerian markets.","PeriodicalId":276875,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Food Science and Nutrition Engineering","volume":"137 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131550038","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}

Studies on these roots and tubers showed that, on a dry-weight basis, contained 2.0 - 7.9% crude protein, 0.3 - 3.1% crude fib re and 72.4 - 77.9% starch. The practical use of these roots and tubers in non ruminant feeds is generally low. Th is level of utilizat ion is attributed to the low protein and dry matter and the potentially to xic cyanogenic glycosides in fresh cassava and irritating substance in cocoyam. Processing techniques such as fermentation, soaking, boiling, ensiling and sun-drying are adopted to remove the deleterious substances, and effects on animals. The co mparable performance of pigs and poultry fed vary ing levels of roots and tubers and their by-products with those maintained on maize showed that they can be used as substitutes in non-ru minants diets at certain levels without detrimental effects. To achieve increase in the use of these root crops and their by-products for maize replacement in intensive non-ruminant production systems, adequate protein supplementation and proper processing are essential.","PeriodicalId":276875,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Food Science and Nutrition Engineering","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129029135","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}
