Optimization of blending ratios of sorghum, rice, and teff flours supplemented with
flaxseed flour for better quality injera making, although best quality injera is obtained
from pure teff flour. In sorghum flour injera has observed texture quality drawbacks. The
objective of this research work was to investigate the effects of sorghum(43-50%), rice
(20-27%), teff (23-30%, and 3% supplemented of flaxseed flour on the overall better
acceptable quality of injera making using D-optimal mixture design. The study response
parameters were analyzed under standard AOAC and AACC methods and datas
interpreted by minitab software 19.2 version, and also conduct one-way and two-way
ANOVA depending on factors, its mean comparisons analyzed by tukey’s pairwaise
comparison method. The 100% sorghum and teff flour injera as control and the blended
injera product analyzed values;protein (9.0-9.3%), fiber (2.4-4.5%), carbohydrate
(81.39-83.67%), energy (388.40-398.26 kcal/100g), phytate (175.66-177.93 mg/100g),
total phenol (3.03-5.39 mg/100g), condensed tannin (0.00-0.17 mg/100g). The mineral
iron and zinc content (12.13-16.17 mg/100g), 2.16-3.94 mg/100g), and its sensory score
overall acceptability of injera (2.33-4.22) using five-point hedonic scale, respectively.
During the storage duration periods of day-0,2,and 4 between each blended injera
product, the yeast-mold and total bacteria load didn’t shown a significance difference
(p<0.05), but shown a significance difference (p<0.05) between 100% sorghum flour
injera at day-6 storage period in yeast-mold and total bacterial load. In conclusion,
blending of cereal grains with flaxseed flour supplementation improved textural qualities
with acceptable sensory characteristics of sorghum-based injera, which is comparable in
teff injera. During the optimization process, the overall optimum point was found in a
blended ratio of 50% sorghum, 20% rice, and 30% teff flours with a 3% flaxseed flour
supplemented. It has (9.30%) protein, (3.01%) fiber, (83.16%) carbohydrate, (393.24
kcal/100g) energy, (13.99 mg/100g) iron, (3.78mg/100g) zinc, (4.06 mg/100g) overall
acceptability, respectively with overall desirability of 0.9474. So, as an industry or
household level flaxseed flour is an emerging functional food to recommended mixing
with grains to optimize consumer overall nutritional acceptabilit quality injera making. |
