Abstract

The study was conducted in the Food and Nutrition Laboratory, Delta State University, using an experimental research design to develop and evaluate cakes from wheat, cocoyam, plantain, and bambara nut composite flours at varying substitution ratios. A total population of 185 staff and students formed the study group, while 15 purposively selected judges (7 staff, 8 students) assessed the cakes. Data were collected using a 9-point Hedonic scale for sensory evaluation and a 5-point scale for shelf-life monitoring. Validity was ensured by expert review, and reliability yielded coefficients of 0.81 and 0.88. Nutritional composition, sensory attributes, and shelf life were analyzed using AOAC methods and ANOVA (p≤0.05). Results showed that composite cakes contained significantly higher (p≤0.05) levels of essential vitamins and minerals compared to the control. The vitamin and mineral composition of composite cakes showed clear improvements over 100% wheat flour (WF). Vitamin A ranged from (0.987–1.983 mg/100g), highest in WCPB3 (1.983) and lowest in WF (0.987). Vitamin B1 varied (0.235–0.487 mg/100g), with WCPB4 highest (0.487) and WF lowest (0.235). Vitamin B12 ranged (0.011–0.017 mg/100g), peaking in WCPB5 (0.017) and lowest in WF (0.011). For minerals, calcium ranged (34.225–67.928 mg/100g), iron (2.884–3.971), magnesium (16.285–20.676), phosphorus (60.730–74.066), and zinc (1.571–1.918). Composite samples, especially WCPB5 and WCPB6, consistently outperformed WF, showing significant (p≤0.05) nutritional enhancement. The findings highlight the potential of cocoyam, plantain, and bambara nut as viable alternatives for fortifying baked products, thereby contributing to improved nutrition, food security, and reduced dependence on imported wheat flour

Abstract

Cakes are widely consumed bakery products typically made from wheat flour, yet dependence on imported wheat can create economic and nutritional challenges in many developing countries. This study evaluated the acceptability and shelf life of cakes produced from composite flours based on wheat, cocoyam, plantain, and Bambara nut (WCPB1–WCPB6) compared with 100% wheat flour (WF) as control. Cakes were prepared and evaluated by 15 panelists using a 9-point hedonic scale, and shelf life attributes were monitored over 20 days at 4-day intervals. All samples were highly acceptable during the initial storage period, and sensory scores generally remained within the acceptable range throughout storage, with WF tending to receive the highest ratings. Statistical analysis showed significant differences in taste among formulations at later storage times (p ≤ 0.05), whereas other sensory attributes were largely comparable. Although quality declined and mold growth appeared after prolonged storage, several composite-flour cakes remained above the sensory cut-off for acceptability at day 20. These findings indicate that cocoyam, plantain, and Bambara nut composite flours can partially substitute wheat in cake production without compromising product quality, while supporting the utilization of indigenous crops and contributing to food and nutrition security.
