This study aimed to determine the effect of different processing methods on the proximate composition and anti-nutritional factors of Dolichos lablab beans (Lablab purpureus) of Kenya. The seeds of KAT/DL-2 variety,sourced from Kenya Agricultural Livestock and Research Organisation, Katumani Dryland Research Station were sorted, then subjected to different processing methods (soaking, cooking and germination). The samples were analysed for proximate composition, tannins, phytates and trypsin inhibitory activity. The results showed a significant increase (2.0%) in crude protein content for germinated lablab beans while carbohydrates content was high in cooked samples. The variety KAT/DL-2 had high levels of phytates; 723.6 mg/100g and tannins 330.3mg/100g and trypsin inhibitor activity 1.3mg/100g. Cooking achieved the highest reduction of anti-nutrients with 88% reduction in TIU. The results revealed that the anti-nutrients in lablab beans can be reduced using different methods of processing. However, there is need to investigate the effect of combined methods on the nutrients and anti-nutrients.

The effects of various processing methods on the proximate composition and dieting ofAmaranthus hybridusandAmaranthus cruentusfrom West Cameroon were investigated in this study. Both amaranths leaves were subjected to same treatments (sun-dried and unsliced, sliced and cooked), milled, and analysed for their mineral and proximate composition. Thirty-SixWistaralbino rats of 21 to 24 days old were distributed in six groups and fed for 14 days with 10% protein based diets named D0 (protein-free diet), DI (egg white as reference protein), DII (sun-dried and unslicedA. hybridus), DIII (cooked and slicedA. hybridus), DIV (sun-dried and unslicedA. cruentus), and DV (cooked and slicedA. cruentus). The protein bioavailability and haematological and biochemical parameters were assessed in rats. The results showed that K, P, Mg, Zn, and Fe had the higher content in both samples regardless of processing method. The sun-dried and unslicedA. cruentuscontained the highest value of crude protein 32.22 g/100 g DM (dry matter) while the highest crude lipid, 3.80 and 2.58%, was observed, respectively, in sun-dried and unslicedA. hybridusand cooked and slicedA. cruentus. Cooked and slicedA. hybridusandA. cruentuscontained high crude fiber of 14 and 12.18%, respectively. Rats fed with diet DIII revealed the best protein bioavailability and haematological parameters whereas 100% mortality rate was recorded with group fed with diet DIV. From this study, it is evident that cooked and slicedA. hybridusandA. cruentuscould play a role in weight reduction regimes.

Effect of processing methods on consumer’s acceptability and proximate composition of yellow croaker was investigated. The experiment was completely randomized design where the treatments were the various processing methods employed. 12kg frozen yellow croaker fish were purchased, cut into chunks, divided into 4 groups of 3kg each, each group was salted and then subjected to different processing methods including: sun drying, deep- frying, solar drying and smoking. After processing, the products were subjected to organoleptic assessment using hedonic scale while the proximate composition was determined using standard experimental procedures.  The result of this study indicates that the odour and flavour of smoked fish product were significantly (p < 0.01) preferred by consumers above other products. Solar dried fish product had highest percentage crude protein followed by smoked fish product while smoked fish product had the highest crude ash. This study suggests that it is better to process yellow croaker by solar drying and smoking so as to get good nutrients.

The present study was carried out to evaluate the rehydration characteristics of solar and mechanically dried lablab bean (Lablab purpureus (L.) sweet; hitherto Dolichos lablab) seeds. Bean seeds with and without coat were used to study the rehydration properties. The rehydration ratios were higher for both mechanically and solar dried bean seeds without seed coat than those with coat. Mechanically dried without coat bean seeds had rehydration ratio of 2.34 while with coat was 2.06. For mechanically dried samples, the co-efficient of reconstitution were 0.58 and 0.56 for bean seeds without and with coat, respectively, and were higher than those of solar dried samples having co-efficient of reconstitution of 0.54 and 0.52 for bean seeds without and with coat, respectively. For both mechanical and solar drying the rehydration rate constant was higher for bean seeds without coat than those with coat. Both rehydration ratio and rehydration rate indicated that mechanically and solar dried bean seeds samples without coat showed better reconstitution properties than those with coat. Both fresh and dried bean seeds without seed coat gave higher nutrient content than their counterpart with coat. Solar and mechanical dried seeds were good source of nutrients.

The impact of fermentation times and temperatures on the proximate composition and anti -nutrient content of dehulled and un-dehulled Mucuna cochinchinensis flour were investigated. Dehulled and un-dehulled Lyon beans were subjected to fermentation at 30° C and 45°C for 24, 48 and 72 hrs respectively and the fermented seeds were processed into flour. Results obtained revealed that the fermentation time/day had an effect on the proximate composition of the beans causing an appreciable increase in the crude protein (from 22.19 - 36.41%) and fat content (from 4.94 - 10.79%) of the fermented Mucuna beans samples when compared with results of the unfermented samples (22.19 and 4.94%) while there was a decrease in carbohydrate (from 57.34 - 40.85%) of the fermented beans. Anti-nutrients (oxalate, tannin and phytate) contents of the seeds decreased significantly (from 1.708-0.316 mg/g, 1.071-1.353%, 1.868-0.515%) as fermentation time and temperature also increased. This study has revealed that fermentation for 72 hrs at 45°C was most effective in increasing the nutritional content of the beans while also reducing the anti-nutrient content to a minimum level.

The biological utilization of protein is influenced by the presence of anti-nutritional compounds. This study aims to find the best domestic processing methods (soaking, sprouting, boiling, pressure cooking and roasting) in reducing the anti-nutritional factors thereby improving the rate and extent of starch and protein digestion by in-vitro condition. Results revealed that all the treatments were effective in significantly reducing the anti-nutritional content and application of single domestic processing method is insufficient for complete removal of anti-nutritional factors (tannin, phytic acid, Trypsin Inhibitor activity). The most effective combination method for reducing tannin, phytic acid and trypsin inhibitor activity content is soaking, roasting and pressure cooking. Hence, the best processing treatments was soaking/roasting followed by pressure cooking. For better digestibility of in-vitro protein and starch soaked pulses followed by pressure cooking was found effective.

textured vegetable proteins (tofu) using two coagulants namely: lime and calcium sulphide. The textured vegetable proteins were analyzed for their proximate composition and sensory properties. Proximate composition of the texture vegetable proteins revealed a range of 13.67-15.04% moisture, 1.39-3.51% ash, 16.56-21.32% fat, 34.75-48.00% crude protein, 6.64-14.21% crude fibre and 4.34-16.22% carbohydrate. Soymilk curd coagulated with calcium sulphide had higher ash and protein contents while fluted pumpkin seed milk curd coagulated with calcium sulphide had significantly (p<0.05) higher fat and crude fibre contents. There was no significant (p<0.05) difference in the crude protein, moisture, and carbohydrate content of the textured vegetable proteins. Mean sensory scores of the curds showed a range of 4.40-6.70 for colour, 5.05-6.50 for aroma, 3.20-5.20 for taste, 3.95-6.15 for texture, 3.55-6.25 for flavour and 4.18-6.65 for overall acceptability. The sensory result showed that soybean milk coagulated with calcium sulphide was the most preferred sample for all sensory attributes. Fluted pumpkin milk coagulated with calcium sulphide also had sensory attributed comparable with the of soybean milk coagulated with calcium sulphide. Mean sensory scores of fluted pumpkin seed milk and soybean milk curds coagulated with calcium sulphide were more preferred than the samples coagulated with lime juice. The study therefore recommends the use of fluted pumpkin seed milk coagulated with calcium sulphide for the production of tofu with sensory attributes and nutrient content comparable with soybean tofu.

Lablab purpureusis a perennial legume, is a valuable feed resource for livestock production. The foliage of three cultivars of Lablab purpureus (Tln-43, Tln-49 and Tln-51) were evaluated for their proximate, minerals compositions and anti- nutritional factors in a completely randomized block design experiment. Results showed significant differences among cultivars in (P<0.05) crude protein (16.97%), ether extract (5.9%EE) crude fat (27.37%CF), ash (9.98%) and drymatter (72.44%) contents. Similarly,minerals contents of phosphorus (0.37%P), potassium 0.89%K), calcium (0.26%Ca), magnesium (0.29%Mg), iron (192.60mg/kg Fe), and Zinc (55.28mg/kg Zn) were influenced by cultivars Lablab purpureus The values of anti-nutritional factors in the three cultivars of Lablab purpureus leaves ranged from 0.44 to 0.73% for Saponin, Oxalate (0.40-0.53%), Phytate(0.62 to 0.85%), tannin(0.04-0.06%), trypsin inhibitor (20.24-21.78mg/g)and HCN (1.65- 2.37mg/g). It was concluded from this study that, nutrient contents, anti-nutrient factors as well as mineral contents were influenced by cultivars of purpureus, though their antinutrients contents cannot poses any deleterious effect to ruminant animal's feed and feeding regime.

Masa is a traditional food mainly produced from maize, rice, and millet. Different concentrations of acha, an underutilized cereal rich essential acid and soybean, was used to enrich masa. This study investigated the effect of the substitution of acha and soybean on the nutritional and organoleptic properties of masa produced from maize. The proximate composition, mineral composition, and antinutrients were determined using standard methods. Sensory evaluation was also carried out to determine the acceptability of the masa products. The result of the proximate composition showed an increase in crude protein, crude fat, and total ash, and a decrease in crude fibre and carbohydrate content, during the period of fermentation. Moisture, crude protein, crude fat, total ash, crude fibre, and carbohydrate contents of masa ranged between 17.10 – 23.80 %, 6.86- 10.67%, 12.78- 18.78 %, 0.58-1.24 %, 0.79 – 1.07 %, and 42.95 – 61.89 %, respectively. Crude protein, total ash, and crude fat content increased with the increase in substitution with soybean. Calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium, and zinc contents were within the range of 5.79 – 13.70 mg/kg, 2.54 – 7.20 mg/kg, 1.14 – 2.65 mg/kg, 2.96 – 6.03 mg/kg, and 0.76 – 1.05 mg/kg, respectively. Masa produced from 100% acha had the highest calcium, magnesium, and iron contents. Tannin, phytic acid, and trypsin inhibitor activity decreased during fermentation and were lowest in masa produced from 100% acha. Substitution of masa with soybean improved the colour, taste, and aroma of fried masa samples. Substitution of maize with 20% acha and 20% soybean increased the nutritional quality and overall acceptability of masa. This study therefore suggested the use of acha and soybean in the production of masa with a high nutritional and sensory profile.
