  • Functional and Pasting Properties of Products Of
    1 Journal of Agriculture and Food Sciences Onyeneke, Esther-Ben Volume 17 Number 1, April 2019 pp 1 - 17 . FUNCTIONAL AND PASTING PROPERTIES OF PRODUCTS OF WHITE AND YELLOW CASSAVA Onyeneke, Esther-Ben Department of Nutrition and Dietetics, Faculty of Health Science, Imo State University Email: estyninika@ gmail.com ABSTRACT This study evaluated the pasting properties of selected products; fufu, garri and tapioca made from yellow cassava (Manihot utilisima Crantz) and white cassava (Manihot dulcis Crantz) products. The cassava products were obtained from the National Root Crops Research Institute, Umudike, Abia State and was processed in food science and technology and nutrition and dietetics laborstory, Imo state university. The functional and pasting result showed that among the studied finished cassava products, the fermented cassava flour had the highest water absorption capacity (WAC) 4.4g/g as compared to values of 3.75g/g for garri and 2.85g/g for tapioca.The water absorption capacities of the white cassava products were in the range of 2.79±0.01to 4.34±0.14g/g with white cassava tapioca having the least value (2.79±0.0g/g) and the white cassava flour having the highest value (4.34±0.14). Some significant differences (p<0.05) existed between the water absorption capacities value of the match pairs (similar products) of white and yellow cassava varieties, with the exception of the garri samples. The oil absorption capacities (OAC) of the yellow cassava products were in the range of 1.94±0.03 to 2.91±0.01g/g with yellow cassava tapioca having the least value (1.94±0.03g/g) e and the yellow cassava flour having the highest value (2.91±0.01g/g).
