ABSTRACT

Ugba is a delicacy popular among the Ibo ethnic group of Nigeria, made by the fermentation of boiled seeds of African oil bean (Pentaclethra macrophyllea Benth). The microorganisms and compounds influencing the organoleptice properties of ugba were studied. The pure cultures of these microorganisms isolated from (ugba) sample produced by traditional method, were used in singles and in combinations to ferment African oil bean shreds. The ugba so fermented were analyzed organoleptically and the sensory scores statistically analyzed using analysis of variance at p < 0.05. Compounds in the samples of oil extracted from unfermented African oil bean shreds and ugba samples fermented for 72 hours with the microorganisms (in singles and in combinations) were analyzed by gas chromatograph. The results showed that the following microorganisms were involved in the fermentation of ugba: Staphylococcus saprophyticus, Bacillus pumilus, Bacillus subtilis, and Bacillus licheniformis. The organoleptic tests showed that the sample fermented by a mixed starter culture of Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus licheniformis was generally liked in all parameters tested, which implied overall best. Compounds found in unfermented and fermented ugba were nineteen in number. Out of this number, eleven were found in the unfermented sample, while eight were in the fermented ugba. The best sample contained the following compounds: ethanol, ethyl stearate, ethyl oleate, ethyl linoleate, ethyl phenol and ethyl octanoate (their percentage concentrations ranged from 2.69% for ethyl octanoate to 67.85% for ethanol). These compounds influenced the perceived ugba flavour but had no direct influence on the colour and texture of ugba samples.
