PRODUCTION AND EVALUATION OF CUBE SEASONING FROM FOUR LOCAL SPICES. UDA (XYLOPIA AETHIOPIA), UZIZA (PIPER GUINEENSE), EHURU (MONODORA MYRISTICA) AND GINGER
ABSTRACT
The work evaluated the sensory quality of composite jam produced from four different tropical fruits:pawpaw, apple, orange and banana. Pulps were extracted separately from the four fruits obtained from Relief Market Owerri, Imo State. four different samples were produced with the following proportions sample A, 40% pawpaw, 20% apple, banana and orange. Sample B, 40% apple, 20% pawpaw, 20% banana and 20% orange. Sample C, 40% banana, 20% pawpaw, 20% apple and 20% orange. Sample D, 40% orange, 20% pawpaw, 20% apple and 20% banana. The pulp samples produced were each mixed with prepared and standardized sugar and gelatin syrup, allowed to cook on constant boiling/stirring to get jam.
The prepared jam samples were carefully poured in steam/ethanol sterilized jam bottles and cocked immediately; and were allowed to cool. The cooled jam samples were served to panelist for sensory evaluation. Sample C which comprises of 40% banana and 20% pawpaw, apple and orange pulp was rated best in terms of taste, color, spreadability, texture and general acceptability followed by sample D (40% orange) in color and sample A (40% pawpaw) in taste. There is a significant difference among the four samples.
CHAPTER ONE
1.0 Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Jam is a mixture of fruit boiled with sugar and allowed to congeal. It is often spread on bread, biscuit and ice-cream. (https://en.m.wiktionary. Retrieved 04/08/2016). Bread and biscuit are types of food made from flour and water that is mixed together and then baked (Longman Dictionary). Jam is a type of fruit preserve.
Fruit jams are preserved fruits and sugar normally canned or sealed for long-term storage. Jam making, involves the disruption of the fruits tissues followed by heating with added water and sugar to activate its pectin before being put into containers. The sugar and the fruits used in producing jam varies according to the type of fruit and its ripeness. When the temperature of the mixture reaches 104oc the acid and the pectin reacts with the sugar (Jones and Layner 2003).
Normally, jam preparation requires the addition of commercial or natural pectin as a gelling agent (Madhave and Pushpalatha, 2002). The use of ingredients and how the jams are prepared actually determine the type of jam produced.
Jams are one of the most popular food products because of their low cost, all year long availability and organoleptic properties (Galkowska and Zagorska, 2010). Traditionally, jams were first produced as an effort to preserve fruits during off-season for consumption.
Nevertheless, processed product such as jams tend to have low nutritional values when compared to fresh fruits for an example, jam normally have lower Vitamin C content compared to the fresh fruits. This is due to exposure to the heat generated during processing (Jawaheer et al, 2013). Fruit such as lemon, apples, cranberries, banana, pineapple and orange are used in production of jam (Burkill, 1997).
Apple fruit is one of the most popular and favorite fruit among the health conscious, fitness lovers who firmly believe in the concept or health is wealth”. Apple fruit is packed with rich phytonutrients, which in the true sense is indispensable for optimal health. Certain antioxidants in apple have several promoting and disease preventive properties, and thereby, truly justifying the adage, “an apple a day keeps the doctor away” (www.nutrition-an-you.com Retrieved 04/08/2016).
Banana fruit is a perennial herbaceous plant that grows from the underground rhizome. It flourishes well under tropical, moisture-rich, humid, low-lying farmlands. Banana fruit is composed of soft, easily digestible flesh made up of simple sugars like fructose and sucrose that upon consumption instantly replenishes energy and revitalizes the body. It is also one of the recommended supplement food included in the treatment plan for under-nourished children.
Pawpaw is the common name of species derived from the Spanish word papaya and American tropical fruit (Caricababaya) because of the similarity of their fruits. The fruit of pawpaw is large and greenish in colour when unripe and yellowish in colour when ripped. Fresh pawpaw fruits are commonly eaten raw, cooked, juiced or preserved. Raw pawpaw is an excellent source of Vitamin C and also has significant contents of calcium, magnesium, carbohydrate and dietary fiber.
Orange fruit is a fruit of the citrus species sinensisin the family or Rutaceae. Oranges, whose flavor may vary from sweet to sour, are commonly peeled and eaten fresh or squeezed for juice. Orange is a good source of Vitamin C and also has significant contents of dietary fiber, total polyphones, caratenoides, limonene, and dietary minerals such as potassium and magnesium.
1.2 Problem Statement
Fruits are difficult to keep for a considerable length of time, thus ripe fruits are utilized either as fresh fruit or processed into jam and other types of products. Most fruits are perishable in their natural state after harvest; deterioration sets in almost immediately due to metabolic activities which continue even after harvest.
The perishable nature makes it difficult to store and preserve fruits, hence, there is gradual loss of flavor and nutritional value. Large quantities of fruits are produced and wasted in Nigeria and many other developing tropical countries.
1.3 Aims and Objective of Study
The objective of this study includes:
- To produce composite jam using four different tropical fruit; pawpaw, apple, banana and orange.
- To evaluate the general acceptability of composite jam.
1.4 Scope of Study
This study covers the production of composite jam from tropical fruits; apple, banana, orange and pawpaw and to evaluate the general acceptability of the products.
1.5 Justification of the Study
The combination of apple, banana, orange and pawpaw help to enhance the nutritional composition, the colour and flavor of the jam and these fruits are rich in antioxidant, Vitamin C, Vitamin A, many essential B-complex Vitamin such as folic acid which helps in production of a highly nutritive jam.
It is also highly essential to process and preserve fruits in order to guarantee regular supply of its products at affordable prices. This will reduce post-harvest losses and prolong the shelf life of the product; crops including fruits and vegetable are processed for different reasons.
