Kunun zaki, home-prepared beverage relished by the Northern people of Nigeria as a refreshing drink was enriched with soybean and analyzed alongside commercially prepared Kunun zaki [Control] for proximate, mineral and vitamin C composition using the standard methods of analysis of AOAC. Sensory evaluation was carried out on the beverages substituted with soybean using 9-point hedonic scale. The protein content of the drinks ranged between 3.1-8.1 g and carbohydrate 4.0-6.0 g/100 g for commercial Kunun Zaki preparations respectively (p<0.05). Similarly, carbohydrate value of soybean substituted KZ (6.0 ± 0.9 g) was found to be significantly. The fat content of soybean enriched and commercial Kunun zaki [18.0 g and 17.3 g/100 g respectively] were very close with no significant difference (P<0.05). Soybean enriched Kunun zaki showed increased macro and micronutrient content over that of commercially prepared one, and was also the most acceptable to the panelists. The beverage can be consumed by children and adult alike; hence the soybean enriched Kunun zaki drink production on commercial scale should be encouraged in every part of Nigeria as a means of improving nutrient intake of its consumers.
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.
