AbstractThis study investigated the effect of African yam bean flour (AYF) inclusion on the quality of sakada. Fermented cassava mash (FCM) and AYF were blended at ratios (% w/w) 100:0 (control), 90:10, 80:20, 70:30, and 60:40. Sakada was produced using the blends, and its nutritional and sensory properties were determined. Protein, fat, crude fibre, P, Ca, phytate, and oxalate contents of sakada increased (p < 0.05) with increasing AYF level, while moisture, carbohydrate, and cyanide decreased. The incorporation of 20% AYF in sakada resulted in a significant amount (> 4.0 g/100g protein) of arginine, leucine, isoleucine, and phenylalanine. Sensory properties of sakada that contained ≤ 20% AYF compared favourably with sakada produced using 100% FCM. This study showed that the nutritional quality of sakada improved following AYF incorporation.

The study was to conduct to evaluate the chemical composition and nutritive values of feedstuffs (forages and concentrate mixtures) used for dairy goats nutrition in Vojvodina. Samples were collected from six farms, including one organic farm. The results showed that the relative feed values of analyzed forages were in the range of good, medium to lower quality. Average protein content from lowest to highest for investigated forages was: corn silage (Zea Mays) (65.37-82.57g kg??DM), alfalfa haylage (Medicago sativa L.) (159.99-184.17g kg??DM), pasture (185.30g kg?? DM), and alfalfa hay (Medicago sativa L.) (167.48-203.60g kg??DM). The non-fibre carbohydrates and protein content most varied in organic hay samples (cv: 29.25% and 19.09%, respectively). Generally, feedstuffs used in organic nutrition, including organic concentrate, were of lower nutritional quality and moreover contained higher amounts of crude fibre and lignin. Especially, a high source of variation was observed in investigated concentrate mixtures for the crude protein content (p<0.0001), ranged from 135.32 to 209.87g kg??DM. Corn silages also varied substantially in their chemical composition and significant difference (p<0.05) was observed in regard to acid detergent fibre (ADF) and lignin content (ranged: ADF: 242.20-319.24g kg??DM; ADL: 27.98-52.54g kg??DM, respectively). Furthermore, pasture contained the most soluble materials during May and June and their content was related inversely to crude fibre amount. This survey highlights that investigated farms still pay insufficient attention to the quality of the feedstuff. For the development of intensive goat farming, greater emphasis should be placed on using higher quality feedstuffs, as well, standards for feed quality must be considered and established.

The evaluation of nutritional quality of Chinese cabbage and the effects of cultivar, weed incidence, plant density and growing season were observed in integrated cultivation system. Mean contents of analysed compounds were as follows: 6% of dry matter, 10% of crude fibre, (in mg/kg of f.m.): 2,199 mg K, 289 mg Ca, 146 mg Mg, 111 mg Na, and 316 mg of vitamin C. Mean content of nitrates reached the value of 647 mg/kg. A significant effect of cultivar on the content of all observed substances in cabbage heads excluding magnesium was thus confirmed; however, a decrease of nitrates was found in the treatment with higher plant density. Weed cultivation caused slightly (insignificantly) higher nitrates content in cabbage heads by 100 mg/kg. Growing season showed a significant effect on content of some evaluated compounds. Integrated cultivation of Chinese cabbage could be an adequate approach to ensure nutritionally valuable products with low nitrates content.

Triticale is a more recent development in the field of cereals, that is a man made cereals created by crossing wheat and rye, compared to oats and barley, which have long histories, triticale is between 40 and 50 years old. Triticale is hybrid of wheat (Triticum) and rye (Scale) first bread in laboratories during the late 19th century in Scotland and Germany. When crossing wheat and rye, wheat is used the female parent and rye is the male parent. The resulting hybrid is sterile and must be treated with colchicines to induce polyoidy and thus the ability to reproduce itself. High quality grain, conditioning products with desirable properties and nutritional value, determines the use of triticale for consumption. Therefore, more and more attention is paid in triticale breeding for its quality, to obtain highly yielding, but also technologically advantageous varieties. The aim of this research was to evaluate nutritional quality and sensory properties of triticale based product that are – Medicated Health Powder which are made from germinated grain triticale, wheat, pearl millet, Beet root ashwagandha, safed musli and steavia powder and Non– Medicated Health Powder which are made from germinated grain triticale, wheat, pearl millet, and steavia powder. The result of the nutritional analysis indicated that the nutritional composition of Medicated health powder are moisture -8.5, ash -2.20, protein- 6.59 and iron-1.82 gm. Non-Medicated health powder are moisture -8.7, ash -1.89, protein- 6.36 and iron-1.71 gm. Regarding sensory properties, these products were evaluated on sensory parameters using nine point hedonic rating scale. Sensory score for Medicated Health Powder for appearance 9.0, texture 8.4 color 8.2, flavor 8.0 and overall acceptability is 9.0. and Non-Medicated Health Powder for appearance 9.0, texture 8.8 color 8.4, flavor 8.8 and overall acceptability is 9.0. A sensory quality of products (Medicated health powder and Non- medicated health powder) was monitored during storage and was found stable for 3 months. Medicated and Non- medicated health powder health powder is recommended for diabetic patients and in cronic heart disease.

Grains are staple diet of Indian population. Despite possessing a high nutritional quality, grains also contains several anti-nutrient compounds that can decrease the bioavailability of its nutrients, especially its protein content. Malting/germination can be employed as an appropriate pre-treatment to improve the nutritional properties of native cereal grains. The objective of this paper is to introduce this indigenous food processing method and its benefits for the betterment of health of the people.
