This study investigated nutritional, viscosity and microbial status of co-fermented cereal /cowpea. Standard Methods According to AOAC (2005) were used for proximate compositions. Mineral Safety Index (MSI) was calculated. Characterization of isolates were by macroscopic, microscopic and biochemical tests. Viscosity was measured using Rotational Viscometer. Protein contents were comparable. Crude fibre was higher in millet/cowpea and lipid in sorghum/cowpea. Both samples had comparable K, Cu, Zn and Mn values. Fe and Na values were higher in millet/cowpea and P, Ca and Mg in sorghum/cowpea. Mineral Safety Index for copper, phosphorus and zinc were lower in both samples than tabulated required daily allowance (RDA) for infants; while sodium was comparable to RDA values. Iron in millet/cowpea was higher than RDA and magnesium in sorghum/cowpea. Millet/cowpea had more yeasts, moulds and enterobacteriaceae. Total plate count was more in sorghum/cowpea and lactic acid bacteria count more in millet/cowpea. Probable organism isolated from sorghum/cowpea was Lactobacillus plantarun and Lactobacillus brevis from millet/cowpea. Consistency values were comparable at 12% flour concentration for both samples; viscosity was more reduced at 12% in millet/cowpea. Sorghum/cowpea ogi had acceptable values of Ca, Mg, crude fiber and lipid contents. Millet/cowpea ogi might be more desirable in terms of viscosity.
