Abstract

This research work study the mineral and sensory attributes of breakfast cereals from oat, date, soybeans processed flour. The processing method includes Sorting, Cutting, Clearing oven drying, and milling to get the flour. The Oat, Soybean, Date was milled to get the flour used to produced the Oat flakes. The Processed blends flour are high in magnesium ranging from 50.20a ±0.00ppm -19-11 ± 0.06ppm, Sodium 44.11 ± 0.04-39.30 ± 0.06, Potassium 39.59 ± 0.05- 38.09 ±0.06, Phosphorus 31.91 ± 0.00 - 26.97 ± 0.06, Calcium 15.98 ± 0.06 – 9.96 ± 0.00, and the least in mineral of the processed Oatflakes Sample is Iron 0.57 ± 0.06 - 0.22 ± 0.00. The Value of Sample CHL2 (Oat) in sensory analysis shows that processed Oat flow is more appealing than unprocessed Oat.
