Abstract

This study evaluated the proximate, rheological and sensory properties of complementary foods produced from orange flesh sweet potato, soybean and date palm flour blends. Complementary foods were produced from orange flesh sweet potato (OFSP), soybean and date palm flour blends. The samples were formulated by material balancing with all samples having 16% protein/ 100g. The samples were coded as CON, CFA, CFB, CFC, CFD and CFE with sample CON being the control. The samples were subjected to rheological and sensory analysis using standard method. Their proximate composition were; moisture (2.51-7.38%), ash (2.27-3.02%), fibre (2.11-4.22%), fat (9.13-10.11%), protein (15.12-16.11%), and carbohydrate (63.06-65.01%). Rheological properties of the gruels were as follows; consistency index (m) (90.57-186.21 Nsn/m2), Flow behaviour index (n) (0.256-0.411), Coefficient of regression (r2) (0.9765-0.9928) and Standard error (0.318-0.405). The sensory attributes gave the following results; appearance (7.77- 8.07), aroma (7.20-8.63), taste (6.80- 8.23), mouth feel (6.87- 8.27), and overall acceptability (6.80- 8.33) and these results when interpreted on appoint hedonic scale. Higher scores generally indicated better sensory attributes and overall acceptability of the food formulation which was observed in sample CFB and CON. There were significant differences between most of the bread samples at (p< 0.05).
