Implication

Randomized trial assesses amino acid content in cocoyam and soybean flours, indicating nutritional adequacy for daily intake.

Key Points

  • This study aims to evaluate the amino acid composition, essential/non-essential contents, and their alignment with recommended daily allowances for cocoyam and soybean flours and their blends.
  • AA analyses were conducted using a gas chromatograph HP 6890 with Chemstation software.
  • The total amino acid contents were quantified, reporting values for both unblended and blended flour samples.
  • The study evaluated essential and non-essential amino acids across various mixtures.
  • Unblended Glycine max flour showed 93.68 g/100g protein and Colocasia exculenta flour showed 75.47 g/100g protein in amino acids.
  • The order of essential/non-essential amino acids ratio was highest in unblended cocoyam flour (0.659) compared to other blends.
  • The amino acid data indicate how cocoyam and soybean can meet the recommended daily allowances for essential amino acids.
