The results showed that there were significant differences (p < 0.05)
between the control and the processed samples as well as among the processed samples. There were significant (p <
0.05) increases in moisture (8.81 – 32.02%), ash (3.22 – 6.43%) and pH (6.97 – 7.64) contents as the concentration of
alum and trona increased, whereas crude protein, fat, crude fibre, carbohydrate and total titratable acidity decreased
with increase in the concentration of trona. However, there was no significant difference (p > 0.05) in the colour of the
cooked samples. ABFS sample cooked with 1.5% trona concentration was rated highest (7.02) in overall acceptability.
