This study investigated the effect of African yam bean flour (AYF) inclusion on the quality of sakada. Fermented cassava mash (FCM) and AYF were blended at ratios (% w/w) 100:0 (control), 90:10, 80:20, 70:30, and 60:40. Sakada was produced using the blends, and its nutritional and sensory properties were determined. Protein, fat, crude fibre, P, Ca, phytate, and oxalate contents of sakada increased (p < 0.05) with increasing AYF level, while moisture, carbohydrate, and cyanide decreased. The incorporation of 20% AYF in sakada resulted in a significant amount (> 4.0 g/100g protein) of arginine, leucine, isoleucine, and phenylalanine. Sensory properties of sakada that contained ≤ 20% AYF compared favourably with sakada produced using 100% FCM. This study showed that the nutritional quality of sakada improved following AYF incorporation.

Nutritional Properties of  Produced from Blends of Cassava and African Yam Bean Flours

This study investigated the effect of African yam bean flour (AYF) inclusion on the quality of sakada. Fermented cassava mash (FCM) and AYF were blended at ratios (% w/w) 100:0 (control), 90:10, 80:20, 70:30, and 60:40. Sakada was produced using the blends, and its nutritional and sensory properties were determined. Protein, fat, crude fibre, P, Ca, phytate, and oxalate contents of sakada increased (p  4.0 g/100g protein) of arginine, leucine, isoleucine, and phenylalanine. Sensory properties of sakada that contained ≤ 20% AYF compared favourably with sakada produced using 100% FCM. This study showed that the nutritional quality of sakada improved following AYF incorporation.
