Studies on the Rheological Properties of Ogi Produced from Different Pearl Millet Varieties

Abstract: In the present study viscosity characteristics and pasting properties of ogi produced from six pearl (both local and improved) cultivars was studied. The ogi produced from the pearl cultivars exhibited varying degrees of rheological characteristic. The viscosity data recorded at the share rates were significantly (p < 0.05) different for the ogi`s. While the amylograph hot past viscosities for the individual ogi`s recorded significant (p < 0.05) differences in the parameters assessed. None of the ogi samples had a characteristic peak except ogi from Gwagwa pearl millet cultivar. The excellent stabilities exhibited by the ogi samples from LCIC-9702, SOSAT-C 88 (improved cultivars) and Zango and Ex-Borno (local cultivars) is desirable for instant ogi. There were non significant differences in the water absorption capacity of the ogi from the pearl millet varieties. SOSAT-C88 and Zango recorded the highest percent water absorption of 76 and 74%, respectively, while Ex-Borno was the least.
