Abstract

As the need for healthy snack consumption is rising on a daily basis, evaluating its storability is also needful. This study was done to examine the storability of extruded snacks developed from yellow cassava substituted with sesame seed flour blends. Germinated and fermented sesame seed flours were blended with yellow cassava flour differently at 0, 15 and 30% levels of substitution. The flours were appropriately mixed for the production of extruded snacks in using single screw extruder before frying in a deep fryer. The snacks were packaged in polythene and stored at room temperature. Microbial evaluation was carried out on the snacks on weekly basis for four weeks to determine their storability. The initial counts of total aerobic, fungi (yeast and mould) and coliform counts ranged from 0.48x104 to 2.55x104, 1.06x104 to 2.56x104 and 8.00x102 to 1.20x103cfu/g respectively. The samples showed significant differences (p<0.05). The values increased as the length of day increases with samples containing germinated sesame seeds flour having the highest while the extruded snacks with 0% sesame seeds flour had the lowest counts. The samples with fermented sesame seeds flours were observed to contain lower microbial loads compare to those with germinated sesame seeds flour. The results of this study nevertheless indicated that the level of contamination of the snacks were within acceptable/specified limits.
