| dc.description.abstract | Milk and its products have been an important component of nutritional diet. Soymilk, nunu and processed cheese consumed within Abuja and Keffi metropolises were analyzed for their physical and proximate compositions. The pH, specific gravity and total titratable acidity of the samples were within the acceptable limits.The result of the proximate compositions indicated that fat, total solids, total solids non- fat, ash and protein were higher in cheese samples from Abuja and Keffi. The above compositions of soya milk samples from Abuja and Keffi did not vary. But the protein and total solids content of nunu from both metropolises were different. Fibre was found in soya milk samples and its protein and iron contents were higher than that in nunu sample thus a good substitute for alleviating protein malnutrition. At the end of this study, it was concluded that all the milk samples analyzed from Abuja and Keffi have good nutritional values. | en_US |
