using two blanching treatments (water and 0.2 % NaHCO3) and
five seed to solvent ratios (1:1 to 1:5). The developed milks were subjected
to consumer acceptance test. The lower solvent TRASMS were most acceptable.
Sensory, physico-chemical and microbiological properties of the four most
acceptable TRASMS were compared with soymilk and a commercial vegetable
milk-vitamilk using standard analytical methods. Blanching in alkali overtly
affected the colour and taste scores of TRASMS. Water blanched TRASMS
were preferred by taste panelists in terms of flavour, taste, mouth feel
and overall acceptability. Sensory scores of TRASMS differed significantly
(P < 0.05) in all attributes from those of vitamilk. Blanching
in alkali resulted in 6%-15% decrease in protein content, marginal (P
> 0.05) increase in pH and significant (P < 0.05) increase
in total solids in comparison to blanching in water. Ether extract was
lower by (1.32%-1.81%) in all TRASMS than codex standard. The levels of
Calcium in TRASMS was low but iron (0.40-0.52 mg/100ml) and vitamin C
(3.38-3.46 mg/100ml) were appreciably high when compared with the levels
in dairy and human milk. The microbial load of TRASMS was below the acceptable
limit for dairy milk.]]>AOAC., 199015th Edn.,Akubor, P.I.,1998359395Beuchat, L.R. and B.J. Nail,19784311091112Edet, E.E., E.T. Ifon and O.U.
