  • Proximate Composition of Ten Types of Biscuits and Their Susceptibility to Tribolium Castaneum Herbst (Tenebrionidae: Bostrichidae) in Nigeria
    Food Science and Quality Management www.iiste.org ISSN 2224-6088 (Paper) ISSN 2225-0557 (Online) Vol.14, 2013 Proximate Composition of Ten Types of Biscuits and their Susceptibility to Tribolium castaneum Herbst (Tenebrionidae: Bostrichidae) in Nigeria Abdulrasak Musa* Titilope Lawal Entomology Unit, Department of Crop Protection, University of Ilorin, P.M.B.1515, Nigeria *E-mail of the corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract Ten biscuit types namely Tea, Digestive, Butter Scotch, Cream Cracker, Coaster, Fibre Plus, Shapes, Gin-Gin, Cabin and Crunchy were examined for their proximate composition and susceptibility to Tribolium castaneum Herbst. The biscuit samples had proximate composition ranging from 4.9 - 5.5% moisture content, 8.6 - 12.0% crude protein, 3.4 – 4.8% ash, 15.4 – 24.0% fat, and 55.4 – 64.0% carbohydrate and 2.09 - 2.81% crude fibre. Assessment of the biscuit types for susceptibility test was based on percentage adult mortality, mean number of adult emergence and percentage weight loss. Results showed that there were significant differences (P<0.05) in the parameters studied. Fibre Plus biscuit had significantly (p<0.05) lower mortality of T. castaneum adults, higher level of adult emergence and the most weight loss of 53.0% as a result of insect infestation within 120 days after infestation. Results showed that the biscuits were susceptible to T. castaneum infestation particularly if not properly packaged or preserved. Apart from proper preservation, biscuits should be supplemented with protein-rich diets to meet the nutritional needs of consumers. Keywords: Composition, emergence, mortality, susceptibility, weight loss, T. castaneum 1.

  • Utilization of Cashew Kernel Meals in the Nutritional Enrichment of Biscuit
    African Journal of Food Science Vol. 3(10). pp. 316-319, October, 2009 Available online http://www.academicjournals.org/ajfs ISSN 1996-0794 © 2009 Academic Journals Full Length Research Paper Utilization of cashew kernel meals in the nutritional enrichment of biscuit S. O. Aroyeun Crop Processing and Utilization Division, Cocoa Research Institute of Nigeria, PMB 5244, Ibadan, Nigeria. E-mail: [email protected]. Accepted 2 September, 2009 A study was carried out on the utilization of cashew kernel meals (CKM) in the nutritional enrichment of biscuit. The biscuits were prepared from blends of soft wheat flour (SWF) and cashew kernel meals (CKM). The different ratios of SWF to CKM used were (A) 100: 0, (B) 90:10, (C) 85:15, (D) 75:25 and (E) 50:50 respectively. The digestive biscuit (DB) bought at the open market served as reference sample. The different biscuits produced were nutritionally analyzed. It was observed that all the samples contained desirable proportions of protein (14.3 - 28.6%), fat (16.21 - 29.62%) and digestible carbohydrates (33.48 - 64.66%). Protein contents, fat, ash and crude fibers increased with increase in CKM. Sensory evaluation results indicated that all the biscuits had high sensory ratings for all the attributes evaluated. There were significant differences among all the samples and the reference biscuit (DB) at p < 0.05 in taste, colour and flavour while samples A and B were not significantly different in terms of crispness and texture from the reference digestive biscuit (DB). The general acceptability showed DB > B > A > C > D > E. Key words: Biscuit, cashew kernel meal, nutritional enrichment, utilization.

  • BAKING, ACID and ALKALINE
    BAKING, ACID and ALKALINE Successful baking is largely dependent upon leavening, which is the process of aeration of (adding gas to) dough or batter, to increase its volume and lighten its texture. When dough or batter is mixed, the starch in the flour combines with the liquid to form a foam matrix of protein strands that sets with holes in between, formed by gas bubbles, which expand when heated, causing the dough or batter to "rise". Dough is a paste made from flour (ground from grains, pulses, seeds or nuts), mixed with water (or other liquid, such as milk). Other ingredients (such as oil, butter, margarine, egg), seasoning and flavourings may be added as well as a leavening (or "raising") agent, if required. Batter is a liquid mixture made with the same ingredients as dough, but whisked or beaten together to introduce air bubbles (battre is French for beat). Batters can also be made by soaking whole grains, then grinding them wet. Batter can be cooked on its own as a pancake, or as a coating on another food (in which case, beer is sometimes added as a source of gas bubbles). Doughs and batters can be griddled, shallow or deep fried, steamed and boiled as well as baked. Batter cooked at an extremely high temperature can be leavened solely by the steam produced from the moisture in the mixture, which rises as the gas expands, holding it until the the batter is set (such as Yorkshire pudding or tempura). Cake mixtures have a lighter texture than dough, with a foam of air bubbles drawn in by beating with a whisk, such as formed with egg protein in a sponge cake mix, or by "creaming" when beating in sugar and butter.
