Abstract

The potential of margarine production from blends of melon and palm kernel oil was studied. Margarine samples were produced from composite oils containing 100:0, 80:20 and 70:30 melon seed oil and palm kernel oil, respectively. The physico-chemical composition, proximate properties and sensory evaluation were determined using standard methods. All data were subjected to statistical analysis at 5% level of significance. Proximate values increase for moisture (6.02-10.33%), ash (1.34-6.12%), crude fiber (4.27-6.99%) and carbohydrate (9.50-10.38%). Conversely, a decrease in protein and fat values was observed. Results for physico-chemical analyses showed a significant decrease in Iodine value (25.05-18.85) and peroxide value (0.44-0.32) with a remarkable increase in spread ratio (3.15-10.11%) and total soluble solids (45.32-75.46) but insignificant increase in acid value (1.84-2.30). Result for sensory evaluation showed that sample B had the highest score for all the sensory properties evaluated. However, it was not statistically different (P > 0.05) from sample C in terms of appearance, taste, aroma and mouth feel. Sample A with 100% melon oil and the blends (sample B and C) varied significantly (P < 0.05) in all the sensory properties investigated. It was concluded that the blend containing 70% melon oil and 30% palm kernel oil had the best potential for the production of margarine which would be acceptable.
