Abstract

This study evaluates the quality of chin-chin made from Okara fortified plantain-sorghum flour with. The flours of plantain(P), Sorghum (S) and Okara (O) were blended in ratios: P0 (4 plantain :0 sorghum); P1S3(3 plantain:1 sorghum); P2S2(2 plantain:2 sorghum); P3S1(1 plantain: 3 sorghum); S0 (4 sorghum: 0 plantain); 5%okara flour was added to 95% of each plantain – sorghum flour blend to give P0O; P1S3O; P2S P2O; P3S1O; and S0O respectively. Standard analytical methods were utilized to evaluate the proximate composition, energy and functional properties of the flours, and sensory analysis of the chin-chin. The proximate composition of composite flour and chin-chin showed that sample P0 possessed the lowest moisture and fat content, and the highest carbohydrate. Sample S0O has the highest protein content, sample P0O has highest ash and fibre content, and sample P2S2O has highest energy value. There is significant difference (p < 0.05) in functional properties: the bulk density, water and oil absorption capacities having the highest value recorded in sample S0O and the least value in sample P0. Swelling power and solubility index show no significant difference having sample S0O with the highest value and sample P0 having the least value, and wettability shows a significant difference between the samples with P0O having the highest value and S0 having the least. This study showed that an acceptable chin-chin produced from composite flour of plantainsorghum fortified with Okara enhanced the nutritional quality of the product.
