Abstract

Partial or full substitution of wheat bran by the addition of locally available raw materials for bread making is worth experimenting with. The study’s main objective was to evaluate the formulation ratio of fruit and vegetable breads and the analysis of sensory assessment. An experimental design under pinned by a quantitative approach was adopted. The questionnaire was employed to collect data, and a convenience sampling technique was used to select 189 respondents. Sensory analysis was used to assess all six samples of bread made from wheat bran, tiger nuts, dates, coconuts, and ginger, and the combined four fruits and vegetables (TDCG), together with frequencies, percentages, mean, and standard deviation. Formulation ratio for the six breads production varied, most especially, the liquid used, proofing period, and baking time. Most respondents preferred butter bread to wheat bread revealing that wheat bran bread being assumed as the most popular bread consumed by adults was untrue. Sensory analysed breads were rated high in taste, colour, texture, aroma, and appearance. As bread was tasty and soft, appearance was attractive with good smell. Most consumers confirmed that they had never consumed tiger nuts and dates bread. In all, TDCG bread scored the highest on the sensory assessment of the bread. Fruits and vegetables used for the varying breads concludes that after 2 days all of them should be stored in a refrigerator. Finally, all bread samples regarded as healthy for human consumption and aiding digestion should be mass-produced.
