dc.description.abstractThe study determined the proximate composition and sensory evaluation of Guinea corn(Sorghum bicolor) meal enriched with soybeans (Glycine max) and groundnut (Arachishypogaea)for infant feeding.Three (03) research questions were raised and one (1) hypotheses formulated and tested at 0.05 significant. The research design adopted for this study is Research and Development Design. The panelists used for the study comprised of forty (40) Nursing Mothers, who have children age 6 month-2 years. The panelists were presented with 6 coded samples produced from a composite of seven possible formulations of Guinea corn blend enriched with soybeans and groundnut. The study used Sensory Evaluation Score Card, which was filled by participants during the testing session. Proximate analysis was determined by calculating the proximate composition of the products with Association of Analytical Chemists method. One-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to test for the significant differences in the proximate and sensory properties of the samples. Findings of proximate composition revealed that GCS(Guinea corn and Soybean) has the highest protein (14.98%) and moisture content (48.82%). For sensory evaluation, the sample GCG(Guinea corn and Groundnut)was the most preferred with mean score 6.25(±1.01) while the sample GCO(Guinea corn only) was the least preferred with mean score 4.25(±1.51). The findings of hypothesis revealed a significant difference between the sensory qualities of guinea corn only and guinea corn enriched with soybeans(p<0.05) Based on the findings, the study concludes that Guinea corn blend enriched with soybeans and groundnut increases the nutritive and sensory qualities of the products and therefore suitable for children feeding. It was recommended that guinea corn blend enriched with soybeans and groundnut should be incorporated into children feeds to increase the intake of balanced diet by the children and prevent malnutrition in infants.en_US
