CHAPTER 1 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND OF STUDY Cookies are a form of confectionery products usually dried to a low moisture content (Okaka, 2009). Compared to biscuits, they tend to be larger with a softer chewer texture. They are consumed extensively all over the world as a snack food and on a large scale in developing countries where protein... Continue Reading

The soymilk samples were collected randomly from all the soymilk hawkers in campus 3 I.M.T Enugu. 30 soymilk samples were collected and used for the study. All the sample were freshly prepared, serial dilution of the... Continue Reading

  ABSTRACT In an effort to ensure stable availability of good and safe water supply in all state of the federation (Nigeria), the production of packaged water (sachet and bottled water) was born; this has become the most available and affordable alternative to the general population. Hence compliment the inadequate supply of pipe borne water in... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT Cosmetic(creams) need not be sterile,however they must not be unduly contaminated with micro-organism and should remain in a stable state throughout the shelf life of the product (or when be used by the consumer).the aim of this project was to determine the microbial load in selected creams and to identify the specific contaminants. For... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT             The presences of pathogenic microorganism in ice cream such as Salmonella Species, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli have been well documented, but examination of pathogenic bacteria like Bacillus cereus Yersinia enterocolitica, Brucella species and E.coli O157:H7 have been rarely studied. These studies indicated... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT The proximate and sensory characteristics of cookies from wheat and tiger nut chaff flour blend. Tigernut chaff was obtained, incorporated into wheat flour in the ratio (90:10, 80:20, 70:30, and 60:40). Cookies was produced from the blends using standard method. The cookie samples were analyzed for the proximate composition and sensory... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT  Cookies were produced from the blends of banana flour and coconut milk. The proximate  composition, metabolised energy value and sensory characteristics of the cookie were  evaluated. Selected functional properties of the UBF were also determined. The composition  varied between coconut milk and margarine (100%; 0%, 50%; 50%, 25%;... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT  It is a common practice in Nigeria and other West Africa Countries especially in area lying within the rainforest belt, with thick vegetation cover, the aim of management should be to avoid excessive and inadequate level of farming system and maintains sufficient for planting of cocoyam. The study therefore seeks to examine and appraise... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT Cookies were produced from wheat, sorghum, and defatted coconut flour blends to determine their potentials in cookie manufacture. Eight Cookies formulations were produced and they were evaluated for their proximate, physical, mineral, colour and sensory properties. The result showed that the moisture content ranges from 7.10 to 10.89%,... Continue Reading
