Effect of sprouting and pre-gelatinization on the physicochemical properties of sorghum-pigeon pea composite blend used for the production of breakfast cereal.

I.E Mbaeyi, J.C Onweluzo

Abstract


Sprouted (96-hour) and pregelatinized (780C) sorghum grains were milled and blended with graded proportion of pigeon-pea and used in formulating flaked breakfast cereal. A commercial ready-to-serve breakfast cereal served as product control. The flour blends and formulated products were subjected to the physicochemical quality analyses using standard methods. Results of the amylose content of the pregelatinized sample showed higher (p
