Abstract
ESSENTIAL AMINO ACIDS AND PHYSICOCHEMICAL DETERMINATIONS OF THERAPEUTIC YOGHURT PRODUCED FROM TIGERNUT AND COCONUT MILK FLAVOURED WITH PINEAPPLE JUICE
Rachel Nnenna Orji* and Paul Uche Chidolue
ABSTRACT
Tigernut (Cyperus esculentus) and Coconut (Cocos nucifera) milk were used to produce Therapeutic Yoghurts in the following percentage blend ratios; 75% Tigernut milk: 25% coconut milk (75% TM: 25%CM), 25% Tigernut milk: 75% coconut milk (25% TM: 75%CM), 50% Tigernut milk: 50% coconut milk (50% TM: 50%CM), 100% Tigernut milk (100% TM), 100% Coconut milk (100%CM), and 100% Cow milk (100% CMY) used as control. Two Qualitative analyses were carried out on the samples: Essential Amino acid and Physico-chemical determinations. After the analyses,100% CMY was generally high in Essential Amino Acids followed by 100% TMY than 75TM:25CM%. Regarding the Physicochemical properties: PH values of the samples were not different from each other whereas the Total Titratable Acidity (TTA) of 75TM:25CM% sample 0.52 was sufficiently different from all the other samples. The Total Soluble Solids (TTS) was highest in 100% CMY 16.52 than other samples, 100% TM 0.69 and 100%CMY 0.66 were different from all the other samples in their level of Viscosity and the Syneresis value of 75TM:25CM% 2.06 was highest compared to all the other samples.
