Aims: A comparative study of fungi and bacteria fermentation of soybean (Glycine max) was carried out to determine the effect of fermentation on the nutritional composition of their fermented products: tempeh and ‘soy-iru’. Study Design: The experiment was carried out in the Department of Microbiology, Ekiti State University, Ado Ekiti, Nigeria, between August, 2017 and July 2018. Methodology: Soybean was processed into ‘soy-iru’ (bacterial fermentation) and tempeh (fungal fermentation) and the microbial load, physico-chemical properties, proximate composition, levels of anti-nutritional components (trypsin inhibitor and phytic acid), anti-oxidants (total phenol, total flavonoid and DPPH), in-vitro protein digestibility and vitamins (A, B, C, D, and E) were analyzed. Results: The microbial load, pH increased progressively during fermentation, while there was a decrease in the titratable acidity (TTA) of the two products. The protein(%), ash(%) and fat(%) contents of the Glycine max cotyledons increased from 29.56, 1.86 and 24.36 in unfermented substrate to 33.61, 2.21 and 26.90, respectively, after 24hrs of fermentation to produce tempeh. However, there was a reduction in the crude fibre(%) and carbohydrate(%) content from 2.94 and 41.29 in unfermented substrate to 2.53 and 32.57, respectively, after 24hrs of fermentation. Similar trends were observed during the production of ‘soy-iru’, however the change in proximate composition was not as significant as observed in tempeh. There was significant decrease in the trypsin inhibitor and phytic acid levels of the two products. The levels of anti-oxidants, vitamins B, D, E and protein digestibility increased significantly, in both bacterial and fungal-fermented products. Conclusion: This research has therefore shown that fungal fermentation of Glycine max seeds into tempeh may be a better alternative to ‘soy-iru’ which was obtained from bacterial fermentation, because of the significant lower level anti-nutritional factors in the former.

The quantitative determination of water soluble vitamins, minerals and proximate compositions of three varieties of beans in Bauchi State, Nigeria, was carried out in this study. Three varieties of beans which includes one of the most commonly consumed species of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) locally called Kanannade, the least consumed (most rare) specie of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) locally called gayan-gayan and soybean (Glycine max) locally called waken soya found in Bauchi State, Nigeria were analysed. Results for the determination of the proximate composition shows that soybean (Glycine max) among three different samples had the highest protein content (34.21 %), ash content (3.11 %), Crude fat (25.30 %). While Cowpea (kanannade) has the highest Carbohydrate content (58.04 %) and Cowpea (gayan-gayan) has the highest Moisture contents (12.43 %) respectively. Soya bean has the highest contents of vitamin (B1, B3, and B6) for the three water soluble vitamins analysed although the values obtained were less than the recommended dietary allowance recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). In the Mineral composition of the two species of cowpea beans (Vigna unguiculata), and soybean analysed, soybean had the highest content of most of the mineral elements. The concentration of potassium was found to be very much higher than all the other mineral elements that were determined in all the samples. The results from this analysis shows that the three varieties of beans analyzed were found to be rich in minerals and highly nutritious.Keywords: Vigna unguiculata, Glycine max, vitamins, minerals and proximate composition

Aim: To evaluate the organoleptic, pH and pasting properties of unripe plantain (Musa paradisiaca), soybeans (Glycine max) and ginger (Zingerber officianale) as edible sources of food which can be processed into flour for several purposes. Methodology: The plant materials (unripe plantain, soybean and ginger) used in this study were processed separately into flours. The flours were then formulated into different proportions  i.e. composite flour blends; A (100%), B(80:14:6)%, C(70:26:4)%, D (60:38:2)% and E(50:50)% and analyzed for pasting properties, pH and sensory properties using  standard procedures for 12weeks. Data generated were subjected to one-way analysis of Variance (ANOVA) in randomized block to test significant variations (P<0.05) among mean values obtained. Results: The results showed that the peak viscosity of the blends which is the ability of starch to swell freely before their physical breakdown ranged from 651 RVU to 2766 RVU. The highest value (2766 RVU) was recorded in blend A, follow by B (1916 RVU), C (1383 RVU), D (972 RVU) while the lowest value (651 RVU) was recorded in E. The highest trough value (2462 RVU) was recorded in blend A and followed by B (1687 RVU), C (1224 RVU), D (875 RVU) and the lowest was E (550 RVU). This implies that the higher the quantity of soybean substituted, the lesser the trough. Trough which measures the ability of paste to withstand breakdown during cooling was significantly different (P<0.05) in the blends. There were significant differences (P<0.05) in the aroma of the various blends at week 0. Blend B with 6% ginger inclusion had the highest score (8.83) at 0 week, followed by blend C (8.50) with 4% ginger. Blends A and E without ginger inclusion had the lowest scores (6.25 and 6.75 respectively) at 12 weeks. The highest pH blend E (6.98) was observed at 12 weeks storage. The pH of the various blends remained acidic throughout storage of 12 weeks, an indication of shelf stability of products. Conclusion: It was evident that supplementing unripe plantain flour adequately improved the pasting properties, pH and organoleptic properties which is a useful application in pastries like cakes and other snacks
