Physicochemical and sensory characteristics of melon milk samples prepared from toasted, autoclaved, boiled and germinated melon seeds were determined. The germinated melon milk (GMM) had higher protein and ash contents but lower pH and viscosity than the other treated milk samples. Toasting the melon seeds improved the ash, protein, total solids and soluble solids of melon milk more than the boiling and autoclaving processes. The mean sensory scores showed that the GMM was rated lower than the other types of processed milk samples for all the sensory attributes evaluated. The toasted melon milk (TMM) had higher sensory ratings for color, mouthfeel and flavor and was generally preferred to the other treated melon milk samples.

Summary The chemical composition and functional properties of African breadfruit kernel flour (ABKF), wheat flour (WF) and their blends were determined. Cookies prepared from the blends were evaluated for their protein contents, physical and sensory characteristics. The flour blends had higher protein, fat and ash contents than WF. The level of these nutrients improved with increased amounts of ABKF in the blends. Foaming, water and oil absorption capacities of the flour blends increased, while the foam stability decreased with increased level of ABKF. The protein contents of the composite flour cookies were higher than that of the all WF cookie. There were no significant differences (P > 0.05) in the flavour of the composite flour cookies and that of all WF cookies. However, sensory scores differed significantly (P < 0.05) amongst them for colour, texture and overall acceptability.
