PHYSICAL AND SENSORY CHARACTERISTICS OF FRIED COWPEA (VIGNA UNGUICULATA L. WALP) PASTE FORMULATED WITH SOY FLOUR AND EDIBLE COATINGS

Abstract: Akara, a popular West African fried food made from dry cowpeas, contains about 31% fat on a dry weight basis. Previous work in our laboratory showed that akara made from a 94% cowpea flour/6% soy flour blend plus edible coatings absorbed 26% less oil during frying than akara made from 100% cowpea. The objective of the present study was to determine the quality and acceptance of modified akara, either freshly fried (one‐stage) or partially fried/frozen/thawed/finish‐fried (two‐stage) as would be employed in the… Show more

“…The overall acceptability of the akara sensory properties was lay on the composite cowpeasweet potato (90-10%) with significant difference when compare to other ratio. This work corroborate with the findings of Huse et al [23] in their studies the consumer acceptance indicated that, compared with two-stage fried/100% cowpea akara, the two-stage fried/6% soy formulation had similar hedonic ratings for flavor, texture, oiliness and overall acceptance. However, no significant differences were found between the akara (fried cowpea paste) and moinmoin (steamed cowpea paste) prepared from five varieties of cowpea flour [24].…”

“…Battered products such as fish nuggets are products, which have been coated with batter and pre-fried so the consumers or food service providers only have to apply a final cooking procedure, usually deep frying; however, the use of conventional or microwave ovens has been increasing lately (Albert et al , 2009). Today, there are numerous variations of meat formulations, coated with different batters, breading combinations (Huse et al , 2006; Barbut, 2012).…”

“…Advantages of processing of poultry meat are improving juiciness and flavor, shelf life and water holding capacity (Sahoo et al, 1996). Today, there are numerous variations of meat formulations, coated with different batters, breading combinations (Barbut, 2011 andHuse et al, 2006) and produced in different shapes (oval, square, animals or alphabet).…”
