Comparative Food Processing Techniques to Produce Wholesome Jackbean (Canavalia Ensiformis) Flours
Dr. Okafor, Obiefuna A.

Abstract:
This study was designed to combine cracking, soaking, derailing, graded levels of fermentation of whole grain, cooking, drying to 96% dry matter as the easiest and most valuable methods to process Jackbean (JB). JB was cultivated and harvested in hotel garden of the researcher, specifically for this study Standard essay techniques were adopted to determine the parameters selected for use, Relative to the control, germination and fermentation had good protein, fat, crude fibre and carbohydrate levels. For the processed seeds, GDCJB had the highest protein (31.67), least fat, least fibre and second higher carbohydrate. For the fermented group, the DF2CJB had the highest protein (28.37), followed by the DF3G/B. Fermentation and germination appeared (to be a promising food processing method for improving the nutrient content of jackbean flours
