The aim of the work was to produce and characterize the exopolysaccharides from loss cooked sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) using fermentation with Lactobacillus. The cooked sweet potato was fermented according to the factorial design with the following factors: the time (21.51h-38.48h) and the amount of Lactobacillus (1.58*106-5*106UFC). Responses were represented by production yield, pH, and titrable acidity. Characterization of the exopolysaccharides was then done by determination of total sugars, solubility index and viscosity. The results show that the pH of unfermented cooked potatoes was between 6.23 to 6.63. The pH of fermented potatoes varies from 3.96 to 4.06. The lactic acid content was found from 7.75 to 9.9% for the fermented samples. The production yields are 1.90% for the samples fermented for 21.5 hours with 3.5*106UFC of bacteria and 5.62% for those fermented for 30 hours with the same volume of inoculum. The average viscosity of the products was 4mPas regardless of the fermentation time. Chemical characterization indicates glucose contents of 68.21 and 94.01% in fermented potato for 24h and 21h respectively. The solubility index gives values of 70.3 ± 0.16 and 88.11 ± 0.23 for fermentation times of 21h and 24h respectively. Results of this work indicated that cooked sweet potatoes ferment for 21h was a promising substrate for production of exopolysaccharides.

This study assessed the nutrient composition, physicochemical, functional and sensory properties of flour blends prepared from cooking banana, pigeon pea and orange fleshed sweet potato flour blends for use as complementary food. Fourteen blends were generated using the simplex centroid mixture design. All data obtained were subjected to analysis of variance and the mean values were separated using Duncan’s Multiple Range Test. The protein, crude fibre, crude fat, ash and carbohydrate of the blends were significantly (p≤0.05) different with values ranging from 10.60-21.65%, 0.36-1.24%, 1.2-1.43%, 0.77 – 2.25% and 65.86 -75.36%, respectively. There was no significant (p≤0.05) difference in the moisture content, total carotenoid content and pH value of the blends. The L* value (40.77 to 45.25) showed no significant (p≤0.05) difference while the redness (a*) and yellowness (b*) value were significantly (p≤0.05) different with values ranging from 2.32 – 4.59 and 11.88 – 15.88 respectively. There was a significant (p≤0.05) difference in the bulk density (0.73 – 0.78 g/ml), water absorption capacity (122.05-178.10%), swelling power (6.21 – 8.48%) and solubility (3.77-7.30%) values. Gruels obtained from the flour blends had sensory scores of above 6.00 (on a 9-point Hedonic scale), signifying high acceptability for all the sensory attributes evaluated.
