Abstract

Weaning food was formulated from different blends of sorghum, soybean and unripe plantain flour using a commercial weaning food (Golden morn) as control. The different percentages were 80:10:10, 60:20:20, 50:25:25. Sensory evaluation was done to determine which sample was most preferred in terms of taste, texture, flavour, colour and overall acceptability using 10 panelists on a nine point Hedonic scale. Analysis of variance was also done to ascertain which sample was significantly different from the control. The results showed that the 80:10:10 blend was preferred to all the parameters while the commercial weaning food was the least preferred.
