ABSTRACT
The samples i.e.
Good morning oat, Poundo yam, Tollex Custard, Peak milk powder and Gino Tomato
paste were analyzed for crude protein, fat, moisture contents, crude fibre, ash
content and carbohydrate content, Microbial analysis was done as well using
Eosin methylene blue agar and Nutrient agar. The sensory evaluation of the
samples were also carried out. The result of the proximate analysis of these
samples showed that they contain essential nutrients needed by the body for
normal growth. The high moisture content in Gino tomato paste (61.10%) is an
indication that the product cannot be stored for a long period of time. The
result of microbial analysis revealed that Gino tomato paste has the highest
microbial viable count of 5.2 x 103cfu/gm and 5.8 x103cfu/gm
on the media used after incubation. Sensory evaluation result showed that the
samples was acceptable with respect to colour, taste and appearance.
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Food is
any substance or materials eaten or drink to provide nutritional support for
the body or for pleasure. It usually consist of plant and animal origin, that
contains essential nutrients such as carbohydrate, fats, protein, vitamins or
mineral and is ingested and assimilated by an organism to produce energy,
stimulate growth and maintain life. Historically, people obtained food from
hunting, farming known as Agriculture – Today most of the food energy consumed
by the world population is supplied by the food industry operated by
multinational cooperation using industrial agricultural method (Aguilera, et al., 1999)
