Abstract
 

The physicochemical properties of twenty Cassava Mosaic Disease resistant varieties and their potentials for the manufacture of noodles were investigated. The cassava varieties were processed into High Quality Cassava (HQCF) and two varieties with good noodle qualities were selected and fortified with soybean. The moisture, starch, sugar, amylose and amylopectin content differed slightly for different varieties. The peak viscosity was in the range of 165.25-453.33 for all the varieties. The trough period was in the range of 32-156 for the varieties. Variety 4(2) 1425 had the highest solubility while 95/0166 was least soluble. TME419 had the highest swelling power while 96/109A had the least. TME419 had the highest dispersibility of 75.10% while 99/6012 had the least (60.95%). Water absorption capacity was highest in 92B/00068 and least in TME419. Varieties M98/0068 and 94/0026 showed the best qualities for noodle preparation. There was no significant (p > 0.05) difference between the moisture content of the fortified noodles from the two varieties and their control (indomie). However, the protein, ash, fat, pH, and colour of the noodles differed significantly (p < 0.05) from the control. Sensory evaluation of the fortified noodles from the two varieties showed they were acceptable. However, they differed significantly in terms of taste, colour, texture and general acceptability. The physico-chemical properties of the high quality flours from the cassava mosaic disease resistant varieties has revealed that they can be very useful as food and also industrially for the production of noodles. Potentials of twenty Cassava Mosaic Disease resistant varieties for the manufacture of noodles were investigated in this research. The cassava varieties were processed into High Quality Cassava Flour (HQCF) and the physicochemical and rheological properties of the flours were determined. From the basic data, two cassava varieties were identified and used to formulate noodles. The quality characteristics of formulated noodles were compared with that of a commercial sample (Indomie noodles). The moisture, starch, sugar, amylose and amylopectin content of the cassava flours differed slightly for different varieties. The peak viscosity was in the range of 165.25-453.33 for all the varieties. The trough period was in the range of 32-156 for the varieties. Variety 4(2) 1425 had the highest solubility while 95/0166 was least soluble. TME419 had the highest swelling power while 96/109A had the least. TME419 had the highest dispersibility of 75.10% while 99/6012 had the least (60.95%). Water absorption capacity was highest in 92B/00068 and least in TME419. Varieties M98/0068 and 94/0026 showed the best qualities for noodle preparation. The protein, ash, fat, pH, and colour of the noodles differed significantly (p < 0.05) from the control. Sensory evaluation of the fortified noodles from the two varieties showed they were acceptable. However, they differed significantly (p < 0.05) from the unfortified noodles in terms of taste, colour, texture and general acceptability.
