Abstract

Five batches of beef sausage at 500g each, were each measured and replicated thrice, wheat flour was substituted with sorghum flour as follows: Batch 1(0% millet); Batch 2 (5% millet); Batch 3 (10% millet); Batch 4 (15% millet); Batch 5 (20% millet). Sensory characteristics of the sausages such as colour, flavor, juiciness, tenderness, overall flavor and overall acceptability were measured using a nine point hedonic scale of 1 = Dislike extremely to 9 = Like extremely. Data was subjected to one-way analysis of variance using SAS (2000) while differences between means were determined using the same statistical package. Result showed significant differences (p < 0.05) in all the parameters measured except saltiness. Batches 1 to 3 were scored high in overall flavour and acceptability of the beef sausage. It was concluded that up to 10% wheat flour substitution with sorghum flour is acceptable in beefsausage production
