The hedonic test on parameters such as color, texture and taste of
cooked macaroni supplemented with MPP are presented in Table 3. Macaroni (control) had a creamy white color, while macaroni prepared from semolina incorporated with 2.5% and 5% MPP had a yellowish creamy color and a yellow color, respectively. Macaroni prepared from semolina incorporated with 7.5% MPP had a yellowish brown color. However, there was no significant difference (P≤0.05) between control macaroni (100% semolina) and macaroni incorporated with MPP up to 5% level with reference to color, taste and texture. Macaroni containing 7.5% scored less for taste,which was not acceptable to the panelist. From the sensory analyses, it was concluded that mango peel powder could be incorporated up to 5% level in the formulation of macaroni without affecting its sensory quality.
