Abstract
“Fura”is known to have originated from Hausa/Fulani and is produced mainly from most flour, blended with species, compressed
into balls and boiled for thirty minutes, while still hot, the cooked dough is worked through in the mortar with the
pestle(with addition of hot water), until a smooth, slightly elastic cohesive lump fura is formed. This study was carried out
to improve the nutritional quality of fura, a millet-based flour food by adding bambara nut flour. Pearl millet (Pennisetumglaucum)
and bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranean) were cleaned, dry milled and sieved to produced fura flour. The bambara
groundnut flour was substituted into the pearl millet flour at ratio (0-30 %); and mixed with spices. This was conditioned
using 1.5L of tap water to improve molding. The sample were analyzed for chemical, functional, microbial and sensory
properties. The data obtained were analyzed using ANOVA (p<0.05). Results showed that carbohydrate, protein, crude
fiber, water absorption, and viscosity ranged between, 75.53 ± 0.08 to 80.58 ± 0.08, 7.27 ± 0.01 to 7.85 ± 0.01, 0.23 ± 0.01
to 1.12 ± 0.01, 2.47 ± 0.02 to 0.89 ± 0.02, 493.00 ± 4.24 to 311.50 ± 0.71 while sensory evaluation showed that sample BYS
was most acceptable. This study showed improvement in the qualities of fura enriched with bambara groundnut.
