    Nutritional and microbial profiles of commercially sold tuo-zaafi
    (2004) Opoku-Boateng, Johnson
    The nutritional composition and microbial profiles of two types of commercially sold Tuo-zaafi under 3 storage conditions (Refrigeration, Water and Normal/Shelf) were evaluated. The two types of Tuo-zaafi were made from dehulled-soaked maize flour and undehulled maize flour. These flour samples were sampled from 5 suburbs in Kumasi and Accra respectively. Prepared Tuo-zaafi was also sampled from the 5 suburbs of these two areas and stored under Normal (Tuo-zaafi in a covered bowl), Water and Refrigeration conditions for 48h. The flours were analysed for nutrient composition (Ash, Crude Fibre, Crude Protein and Crude Fat). The Tuo-zaafi was analysed for nutrient and microbial profiles before storage, after 24h and 48h of storage. The nutrient content of the undehulled Tuo-zaafi was found to be significantly (p
