|
The effects of particulate materials and osmoregulatators on
lactic fermentation of cassava were determined on total
dissolved loads of all the samples; the total reducing
sugars of all samples, the microbial loads in all the
samples, the percentage crude protein contents, crude
fibres, crude fat/ether, ash, phytic acid and tannin. Sample
A1 inoculated with varied concentrations of
particulate materials had the highest total dissolved solid,
total reducing sugar, lactic acid bacteria counts and total
bacteria counts than sample B1 with varied
concentrations of osmoregulator. There was corresponding
increase in sample A2 and A3 compared
to sample B2 and B3. Sample C which
served as control had the lowest value in all at 24, 48 and
72 h of fermentation. Most of the samples that contained
varied concentration particulate materials had higher values
in their proximate analysis and nutritional analysis than
samples that contained varied concentrations of
osmoregulators. Sample C with neither particulate materials
nor osmoregulator had the least values in all analysis.
