Abstract
Inbound tourists’ preference of jollof rice prepared from two varieties of rice grains was determined in this study by assessing their sensory qualities. Extant literature was surveyed to review the nutritional qualities of the rice varieties. Respondents for the study included twenty-five panelist who were selected from among expatriate and local employees of Dangote Cement Plc Ibese, Ogun State, Nigeria, who took part in the sensory assessment of the two dishes. Sensory assessment score sheet prepared in a 9-point hedonic scale was administered to the respondents to delimit the organoleptic qualities of the rice varieties. One-way Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to determine the mean difference of responses between Agric Jollof Rice and Aroso Jollof Rice. The Result indicated superior overall acceptability for Agric Jollof Rice with a mean difference of 8.52 compared to Aroso Jollof Rice with mean of 7.56. Additionally, the p-value for overall acceptability (0.016 ≤ 0.05) shows a significant difference between the two rice varieties thus indicating preference between the products. The study recommends culinary entrepreneurs in local restaurants to diversify their vocation using the opportunity created by the acceptance of the local food by inbound tourists to reinvent other local food products and gastronomy tourism towards relevant niche tourism implications.
