Quality Evaluation of Kokoro Produced from Maize–Pigeon Pea Flour Blends

Abstract: Kokoro is a very popular local snack inNigeria made from whole maize flour. Kokoro snack produced from maize-pigeon pea flour blends was evaluated. Pigeon pea flour was added to increase the protein content of Kokoro. Maize and Pigeon pea flour (PPF) were mixed in various proportions. The blends were made into a thick dough, shaped into a ring shape, and deep fried in hot vegetable oil (170 • C) for 5 min. Functional and pasting properties of the blended flour were evaluated, while the products obtained were a… Show more

“…In a study conducted by Akoja et al (2017), it was found that there is a considerable rise in the protein content of maize-based snacks (Kokoro) significantly increased with the addition of pigeon pea protein hydrolysate (Table 5). This increase in protein content may be attributed to the high protein content of pigeon peas, as previously reported in other studies (Adegunwa et al, 2015).…”

“…This is similar to a report by Arise et al (2018a), who reported that the addition of Bambara groundnut lowers the trough of maize flours which implies that the blends may not find good applications in the food system, where high paste stability during cooking is required. The increase in inclusion of Bambara groundnut flour to cause a decrease in the trough viscosity implied that the blends might not maintain high paste stability during cooking (Adegunwa et al, 2015). The breakdown, which is the difference in the peak viscosity and trough, is an indication of the rate of gelling stability, which is dependent on the nature of the product (Arise et al, 2018).The breakdown value of the flour blends ranged from 7.33 RVU for sample E (80:20%) having the least value and sample F having the highest 136.50 RVU (75:25%).…”

“…Similarly 100% wheat flour had the highest value of 153.83RVU while 100% tigernut flour had the lowest value of 16.13. The addition of tigernut flour lowers the trough viscosity of wheat flour and this implies that the blends may not find good application in the food system where high paste stability during cooling is required (Adegunwa et al, 2015). The breakdown viscosity ranged from 1.25 to 103.08RVU.…”
