Aims: This study was carried out to optimize the processing of soybean proteins-fortified attiéké. Methodology: Response surface methodology was used to describe the effects of ferment and soy contents, and fermentation time on the protein content, pH and acceptability of the attiéké product. A central composite design consisted of twenty-three experiments was conceived using the Galiachi design. Results: Results showed that the experimental data were adequately adjusted in the second-order polynomial model. Protein content and overall acceptability were significantly influenced by soy content. pH was affected by the three studied factors. The optimum conditions were 11.41% of ferment, 6.35% of soybean content and 18 h 7 min 48 s of fermentation time. Under these conditions, the protein content (6.62%), the pH (4.57) and the overall acceptability (3.41) were within defined target range. Conclusion: The obtained results could be used in the artisanal and modern industries for the processing of attiéké with high nutritional value.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
