Response Surface Modeling and Optimization of Extraction Time, Temperature, and Cashew Nut-To-Water Ratio for Cashew Nut Milk Extraction V. E. Edem, R. M. O. Kayode, O. A. Abiodun, B. O. Olofintoye, A. I. Elijah Ceylon Journal of Science, 2026 The demand for plant-based milk alternatives has increased in recent years due to concerns related to human nutrition and environmental sustainability. Among plant-based milk products, cashew nut milk has gained considerable attention because of its nutritional value, distinctive flavour, desirable mouthfeel, and recognition as a premium product. However, variations in extraction methods often result in inconsistencies in milk quality. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the optimum extraction conditions for cashew nut milk production. A central composite design (CCD) within response surface methodology (RSM) was employed to optimize extraction time (X1), extraction temperature (X2), and cashew nut-to-water ratio (X3) for the extraction of cashew nut milk. Milk yield, physicochemical characteristics, proximate composition, and sensory properties were evaluated using standard analytical methods. The results revealed that extraction time, extraction temperature, and cashew nut-to-water ratio significantly influenced (P < 0.05) the yield, physicochemical properties, proximate composition, and sensory attributes of cashew nut milk. Among these factors, the cashew nut-to-water ratio had the greatest influence, affecting all measured responses except pH. The optimized extraction conditions were 13 min extraction time, 60 °C extraction temperature, and a 1:1 cashew nut-to-water ratio, resulting in an optimum milk yield of 84.43%. The findings of this study indicate that maintaining a cashew nut-to-water ratio not exceeding 1:1 is essential for producing cashew nut milk with consistent and desirable quality attributes.
NUTRITIONAL, ANTI-NUTRITIONAL, AND SENSORY PROPERTIES OF COWPEA HULL-ENRICHED GARI I. F. Olawuyi, G. M. Olapade, O. R. Karim, O. A. Abiodun, K. O. Salami, et al. Ceylon Journal of Science, 2024 In continuous search for solutions to malnutrition, mainly prevalent among the people of developing countries, various views have been expressed regarding the necessity to improve the nutritional quality of indigenous foods such as gari through better processing and enrichment with cheap and readily available plant materials such as cowpea hull. Gari was produced using the traditional method and enriched with freshly produced cowpea hull in dry form to improve the nutritional composition. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of stages of inclusion of cowpea hull on some quality attributes of gari. Factorial design of 2 stages of inclusion (before and after fermentation) with 4 levels (0 %, 3 %, 5 % and 7 %) of cowpea hull treatments and standard methods were used to analyze the enriched gari (EG). The results of the proximate analysis of gari revealed that as inclusion level increases crude fibre, ash and crude protein contents increased in the fermented EG. Enrichment caused a significant (p<0.05) increase in the minerals and the amino acid profile compared to the control while fermentation caused a significant increase in vitamins content of EG. The titratable acidity of the EG may be linked to the increase in amino acid content of the samples, and pH ranged from 3.87 to 3.99. Fermentation of the cowpea hulls with cassava mash significantly enhanced the sensory characteristics and make them acceptable than their unfermented counterpart. Based on the results, it is recommended to enrich gari by incorporating 7% cowpea hull that have undergone fermentation with cassava mash.
