“…It is noteworthy that the temperature interval ranged between 25 and 55 °C. The higher temperature was set up inferior to 60° C since higher temperatures cause starch gelatinization (Cortés et al, 2004;Djomdi et al, 2007;Ejoh et al, 2006).…”

“…Currently, mathematical models are being developed as means of prediction and optimization of the production process of tiger nut milk, which is primarily based on the soaking process (Krokida et al, 2003;Djomdi et al, 2007), including the use of response surface methodology (Asante et al, 2014). However, none of them have taken into consideration the nutritional characteristics simultaneously to extraction efficiency.…”

Sequential experimental design strategy was applied in order to investigate the best conditions for tiger nut milk extraction process taking into account performance and physicochemical features, simultaneously. Protein, lipid, starch, calcium and total sugar composition were considered for this optimization. The tested factors were: sodium metabisulphite concentration (X 1 ), soaking time (X 2 ), soaking temperature (X 3 ) and water proportion (X 4 ). From the 2 4-1 fractional factorial design all independent variables were found to be statistically significant (p <0.1) and X 1 , X 2 and X 3 were chosen for the central composite design as water proportion was already in the minimum value. The best operational conditions, obtained by desirability function, were: 8 h of soaking time, 22° C for soaking temperature, 0.20% (w/v) of sodium metabisulphite and 1:1 tuber (g): water (ml) proportion. In those conditions a 78% yield was obtained for a tiger nut milk with 2.60% protein, 3.7% total sugar and 8.72% starch. The high yield obtained and the great nutritional value shows that this milk has a great potential for application in the food industry.

“…Higher milk yield from boiling and soaking could be attributed to better opening of cellular pores and weakening of cell walls after milling of tubers (Djomdi Ejoh and Ndjouenkeu, 2006;Ndjouenkeu and Djomdi Ejoh, 2007).…”

Vegetable milk is a nutritious alternative for consumers who for dietary and other constraints cannot consume dairy milk. The production of vegetable milk solids of acceptable taste and quantity is however an important consideration. The study determined the effect of soaking in combination with boiling, steaming and roasting on the yield of milk, solids and its sensory quality. Boiling of tubers before soaking yielded the highest quantity of milk for all tubers with a range of 4395. Roasting before soaking of brown tubers enhanced the flavor of milk however there were no differences in overall acceptability of milk extracted from different pre-treated tubers. This sequence of pretreatments will enhance the extraction of good quality tiger nut milk and solids to broaden its utilization as ingredient in the food industry.

“…Chufa tubers are also used to make ice-cream, while fresh chufas can be consumed after soaking. Chufa is cultivated on a small scale in Egypt, Niger, Nigeria, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Togo, Mali, Cameroon, and the Ivory Coast (Omode et al, 1995;Abdel-Nabey, 2001;Djomdi et al, 2007). These countries currently export 3000 t tubers per year to Spain.…”

“…Pascual et al (2000), after describing its cultivation in Spain (Pascual et al, 1997), affirmed that these under-exploited products could enhance interest in this crop. More recent studies have reported increasing interest in chufa cultivation, mostly for food technology and biodiesel production, in Brazil, Cameroon, China, Egypt, Hungary, the Republic of Korea, Poland, Turkey, and the USA (Abdel-Nabey, 2001; Coskuner et al, 2002;Djomdi et al, 2007, Matos et al, 2008.…”
