Abstract:Sorghum bicolor leaf sheaths are a common dried ingredient used as a colourant for waakye, a popular Ghanaian dish made from rice and cowpea. The leaf sheaths are also used in traditional medicine due to its impressive bioactive composition. Its potential as a natural food colourant and antioxidant has been established but the effect of different processing conditions on the physicochemical composition and characteristics have not been adequately researched. The present study assessed the effect of size reduct… Show more
