Item Assessment of growth, yield and nutritive quality of two okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) varieties infected with Okra mosaic virus(University of Abuja, 2022) Aliyu, Taiye Hussein; Arogundade, Olawale; Salami, K.O.; Tete, B.A.Item Chemical Composition of Marasmius Oreades: A Wild Edible Mushroom among Kabba-Bunu Inhabitants of Nigerian.(Published by School of Sciences, Federal University of Technology, Akure, Nigeria, 2016) Kayode, R.M.O.; Laba, S.A.; Kayode, B.I; Aliyu, T.H.; Salami, K.O.; Opaleke, D.O.The use of mushroom as food ingredient has been practiced over years, though many species are consumed for their nutritional and health benefits, the chemical composition of most of these wild edible mushrooms in the tropics has been poorly studied. In this work, a wild mushroom Marasmius oreades; commonly eaten among inhabitants of Bunu land in Nigeria was assessed. The mushrooms were harvested from forests in three villages namely Aduratedo-Ape (AA), Okebukun (OK) and Aiyetoro-Kiri (AK). Proximate, phytochemical, mineral, fatty acid and amino acid constituents of the mushrooms were assessed using standard methods. The proximate on dry matter basis were; protein (12.06-14.54%), fat (7.73-8.38%), fibre (0.56-0.62%), total ash (10.15-14.90%) and carbohydrate (56.01-57.60%). There was no significant (P<0.05) difference in the parameters tested except the protein (14.54%) and ash (14.90%) of samples AK and OB respectively. The predominant phytochemical was flavonoids (12.052%) with others occurring at lower concentrations. Linoleic are most predominant fatty acids with an average result of 51.78%. The range of values obtained for both monounsaturated (28.77-29.34%) and polyunsaturated (51.68-53.20%) fatty acids were greater than saturated fatty acid (18.22-18.29%) in all samples. M. oreades contains great amount of potassium (1270.61 mg/kg), sodium (822.34 mg/kg), phosphorus (619.77 mg/kg), calcium (180.27 mg/kg) and magnesium (95.49 mg/kg). Some amino acids were significantly (P<0.05) affected by sampling locations such as threonine, lysine, cysteine, serine, aspartate and glutamate. The essential amino acids score (1.340) and essential amino acid index (1.261) indicated M. oreades as a good source of quality protein. However, it was limiting in tryptophan and leucine. This study concludes by recommending M. oreades as a good dietary supplement for adults.Item Chemical composition of Marasmius Oreades; A Wild Edible Mushroom among Kabba – Bunu Inhabitants of Nigerian(FUTA Journal of Research in Sciences, 2016) Kayode, R.M.O.; Laba, S.A.; Kayode, B.I.; Aliyu, T.H.; Salami, K.O.; Opaleke, D.O.The use of mushroom as food ingredient has been practiced over years, though many species are consumed for their nutritional and health benefits, the chemical composition of most of these wild edible mushrooms in the tropics has been poorly studied.

This study investigated the effect of annealing on the complexing ability and functionality of Bambara groundnut starch with palmitic acid. Corn starch was included as the reference. Annealing created cracks and pores on the surface of Bambara groundnut and corn starches, respectively. Bambara groundnut starch had significantly higher amylose content, higher peak and final viscosities than corn starch. The peak viscosities of native Bambara groundnut and corn starches significantly reduced with palmitic acid addition. Greater reduction in peak viscosities was observed when the annealed starches were complexed with palmitic acid, suggesting that more palmitic acid was complexed after annealing. This was confirmed by XRD peaks and melting enthalpies. Pasting of native Bambara groundnut and corn starches with palmitic acid resulted in the formation of type I V-amylose complexes, while type II complexes were formed from annealed starches pasted with palmitic acid.Item The effect of supplementation of cow milk with tiger nut milk on the yield and quality of soft cheese.(College of Science Education, Federal University of Technology, Minna, 2022) Badmos, A.A.; Salami, K.O.; Ahmed-El Imam, A.; Yisa, Y.; Lawal, A.O.Item Influence of walnut on the nutritional and physicochemical properties of biscuits made from whole wheat.(Agrosearch., 2020) Dauda, A.O.; Abiodun, O.A.; Akintayo, O.A.; Babayeju, A.A.; Salami, K.O.; Oyekanmi, I.A.In this study, the influence of walnut flour in biscuit production was studied. Biscuits were made from blends of whole wheat with walnut flours and were assessed for quality attributes and storability. Walnut was blended with whole- wheat thus: B (2%:98%); C (4%:96%); D (6%:94%); E (8%:92%) and F (10%:90%), while plain whole wheat flour served as control (Sample A). The biscuits were baked in the oven operated at 1800C for 20-30 minutes, cooled, packaged, stored for eight weeks, and analysed for physicochemical, microbial and sensory properties using standard methods. The results revealed that the proximate composition of the samples during storage were as follows: protein, moisture, ash, crude-fat, crude-fibre and carbohydrate values ranged thus: (9.30-14.26%), (10.28-12.06%), (2.20-2.92%), (13.24- 16.66%), (0.69-1.17%) and (53.60-61.47%) respectively, with better nutrient stability in the treated samples when compared to the control. The colour varied with increasing substitution, while the essential amino acids were higher in the walnut-supplemented samples. The microbial load of the control was higher than those of the treated samples, due to high antioxidant activity of walnut. Sensory evaluation revealed that biscuit sample having 2% walnut flour was most preferredItem Moringa Oleifera: Medicinal Values, Antimicrobial Properties & Application as Food Ingredients-A Review.(Department of Science Education, Federal University of Technology, Minna, Nigeria, 2015) Kayode, R.M.O.; Kayode, B.I.; Laba, S.A.; Salami, K.O.Moringa oleifera Lamarck is a native plant to the southern foothills of the Himalayan areas of Asian countries and currently grown in many tropical and subtropical countries. The plant parts are used in the preparation of herbal medicine for the treatment of diver’s pains and diseases in South Asia. It is an important food source in some parts of the world such as India and Africa where it is used to combat malnutrition. The immature green pods, seeds, dried leaves and seed oil are used in food preparation. The interest in utilization of moringa seed as antimicrobial agents, medicinal uses, food additives and application in food preservation has been amplified in the past few decades by an increasingly negative consumer perception of most synthetic food preservatives and drugs. In addition, food-borne diseases are overwhelmingly increasing public health problem which calls for more effective preservation strategies. The nutritional composition, medicinal uses and antibacterial properties of the various parts of Moringa oleifera have been documented extensively. However, there is dearth’s of information and limited knowledge about the mode of action of the plant extracts. This review encourages researchers to focus on methods of processing the parts into a more useful and acceptable food products, the mode of action of the individual chemical component or synergistic interactions of the chemical compounds of the plant on different microbial species, and on their reactions with food chemical matrix that will enhance its extracts to be used as food preservative.Item Physico-chemical and sensory properties of a cheese-like product from the blend of soymilk and almond milk(Agrosearch, 2020-07-21) Arise, A.K.; Opaleke, D.O.; Salami, K.O.; Awolola, G.V.; Akinboro, D.F.In this study, the possibility of producing a cheese-like product from the partial substitution of soy milk with almond milk was investigated. The extracted almond milk was mixed with soy milk in a variable proportion of 10:90, 20:80, 30:70, 40:60, 50:50, and the control is soya milk alone (0:100) to produce a cheese-like product. Control and partially substituted cheese-like samples were stored in a refrigerator at a temperature of 4oC and examined for proximate, total titrable acidity, pH, total solid and sensory properties. The total titrable acidity of the cheese was between 0.23% and 0.33%, representing a significant increase in total titrable acidity from 0.23% to 0.33%. The pH increased with increase in the almond milk in the cheese, which varied between 6.45 and 6.90. The proximate composition ranged from 25.67%-29.97% for protein, 22.79%-26.45% for moisture, 30.58%-36.99% for fat, 7.02%-14.61% for carbohydrate, 1.20%-1.79% for ash, and 0.90%-2.03% for fibre. Protein and fat contents increased with increase in almond milk substitution, while carbohydrate and ash content decrease with increasing almond milk substitution. Sensory evaluation revealed a significant difference (p <0.05) in colour, taste, texture and overall acceptability, influenced by the varying proportions of added almond milk. However, there is no significant difference in aroma. The blend with 30% almond milk and 70% soy milk was most acceptable to panelists. The study showed the potential of almond milk as an alternative source of milk in cheese making with improved nutritional value and increased acceptability for the consumer.
