Preliminary investigation on antioxidative potentials of defatted fermented locust bean extract in comparison to defatted non-fermented locust bean was conducted. Qualitative antioxidative assessment on the extract was accomplished by screening the phytochemical endowment, and similar bioactive components. Also some antioxidative indices were quantitatively evaluated. Results showed that the de...

The study was carried out in order to establish the suitability of fermented soybean condiment as an alternative locust bean meal preparations. dried condiments were subjected chemical, microbial and sensory evaluation using standard methods. Results revealed significantly (p<0.05) higher protein (54.06%), ash (6.21%), crude fat (14.15%) pH (8.90) content condiment. Higher values 44.72 mg/10...

BACKGROUND The most popular form of utilization of African locust bean (ALB) is in its traditional fermentation food condiment (iru/dawadawa), which adds protein to a protein-poor diet and also as medicine. In view of the nutritive values of ALB, the present study therefore aimed at investigating the effect of germination and fermentation on the nutritional quality of ALB flour. MATERIAL AND ...

Thirty-five Bacillus isolates were obtained from traditionally fermented locust bean ( ̈iru ̈) in Akure, South-western part of Nigeria. Twelve of the bacillus isolates were identified as Bacillus licheniformis, twentyone as Bacillus subtilis and two as Bacillus cereus according to physiological and biochemical properties. The B. licheniformis isolates were selected for this study due to scarcity ...

This study examined the nutritional properties and industrial application of African locust bean properly known as Iru in southwest Nigeria. Locust was processed into food condiment which is used a spice that gives an meal pleasant flavor. The production process includes boiling for 12 hours, soaking seeds water, de-hulling, another 6 hours ferment 4 days. Proximate analysis mineral content (Pa...

Dawa dawa condiment was produced by traditional fermentation of African yam bean and soybean seeds. Processed substrates were incubated for 72 hr at room temperature in earthen pots lined with washed fresh banana leaves. Samples of African yam bean dawa dawa (AYBD) were comparatively evaluated with African locust bean dawa dawa (ALBD) sample and two types of soybean dawa dawa samples that were ...
