Item Acceptability of Organoleptic Properties of Melon and Soya Beans Soup Blends Produced with Indian Spinach(Published by ASIAN REGIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR HOME ECONOMICS, 2017) Babayeju, A.A; Nmom, I.O; Obalowu, M.A; Adebisi, T.T; Gbadebo, C.T; Kolade, IfeoluwaABSTRACT T he study investigated the acceptability of organoleptic properties of and consumption of melon (egusi) and soya bean soup blends produced with vegetable (Indian spinach) which was observed to be poorly accepted in consumption. The aim of this study was to analyze the organoleptic properties and the consumption level of melon and soya beans soup blends produced with Indian spinach. Descriptive research design and sensory evaluation was used. The study population comprised three hundred and fifty students from 100-500 level with a sample size of 40 respondents were randomly selected from each level. Panelist used ratios of melon and soya beans 20:80, 40:60, 60:40, 100:0 50:50, and 80:20 for the sensory evaluation and the result was analyzed using 9-point hedonic scale. A well-structured questionnaire was also used to assess the level of acceptability and consumption of soya bean; the results were statistical analyzed using mean, standard deviation and ANOVA and tested at 0.05 significant level. The findings revealed that the control, melon 100% soup had the highest acceptability in terms of colour, aroma, texture and general acceptability. The finding shows that the use of melon and soya bean soup blend is acceptable up to 60% inclusion level. The result obtained shows that there are set back in the acceptability and consumption of soya beans with melon in Nigeria. Therefore, it is recommended that Indian spinach has the potential of improving meal if included in the soup. Soya beans products should be properly processed to avoid constipation and other side effect.

Four (4) research questions were raised and one (1) hypothesis was tested. The research design adopted for this study is Research and Development Design (R&D). Judges evaluated 8 coded samples produced for appearance, aroma, texture, taste and overall acceptability. Sensory Evaluation was judged on a 7 point hedonic scale ranging from“1”which indicates “Dislike” to “7” which indicates “Like’’ extremely using sensory evaluation score card (SESC). Proximate analysis was determined by calculating the nutrient content (Moisture, Protein, Ash, Fat, Crude fibre, and Carbohydrate). One way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to test for the significant differences in the nutrient and sensory properties of the samples. Result of sensory properties revealed that sample CHS (Chinchin with 100% sugar) was the most preferred in appearance, aroma, taste and overall acceptability (6.47±0.90). Result of nutritive composition showed that sample CHH (Chinchin with 100% Honey) has the highest protein (10.52%), fat (20.45%) and fiber (2.55%) contents. Results revealed a significant difference (P<0.05) in the sensory evaluation of snacks produced with sugar only and those produced with selected natural sweeteners. The study concludes that snacks produced with natural sweeteners are nutritive for all classes of people. Therefore, there should be continuous education in nutrition to advise people of the health benefits of snacks produced with these natural sweeteners (date and honey) as its nutritive, antioxidants and medicinal contents for the growth and development of children and consumers is high.Item Effects of food practical on students’ skills acquisition in selected tertiary institutions, Ogun State, Nigeria(Published by Faculty of Agriculture University of Ilorin, Nigeria AGROSEARCH, 2016-03-10) Adebisi, T.T; Babayeju, A.A; Gbadebo, C.TThe study examined the effects of Food Practical on students’ skill acquisition in selected tertiary institutions in Ogun State.
