ABSTRACT 12 The  food  potentials  of  tigernut  tubers  (Cyperus  esculentus)  locally  know  as  “aki  awusa”  in Igbo,  ”aya”  in  Hausa  and  “ofio”  in  Yoruba  were  evaluated.  The  proximate  composition  of 100g  of  raw  and  processed  tigernuts  showed  that  moisture  content  of  tigernuts  ranged  from 4.19  –  51.93  %,  crude  protein  2.61  –  10.12  %,  ash  0.70  –  1.77  %,  crude  fibre  7.48  –  13.97  %, crude  fat  10.79  –  32.06  %,  and  carbohydrate  22.73  –  56.85  %.  Energy  values  ranged  from 232.31-  487.15  Kcal.  Tigernuts  contain  significant  amounts  of  Mg  (95.32  -140.96  mg),  K (106.44  –  427.92  mg),  P  (121.78  –  195.95  mg),  Fe  (1.60  –  4.03  mg),  Cu  (0.08  –  0.99  mg),  Zn (0.32  -  2.46mg),  vitamin  C  (30.90  –  84.66  mg),  vitamin  E  (2.22  –  5.26  mg),  moderate  Ca (24.42  –  62.29  mg)  and  low  Na  (15.77  –  18.27  mg)  content.  Processing  of  tigernuts  generally increased  carbohydrate  but  decreased  magnesium  and  sodium  values.  Malting  significantly increased  calcium  content  (85  %)  and  drying  and  roasting  increased  Zn  and  Cu  by  100  %. Physico-chemical  and  functional  properties    showed  that  tigernuts  and  its  products  are  acidic while  viscosity  of  the  products  per  100  ml  was  between  88  –  90  cP,  specific  gravity  1.01  – 1.07,  reducing  sugar  0.30  –  0.44  g  ,  foaming  capacity  18  %.  Foaming  stability  5.35  %, emulsion  capacity  21.88  %,  and  emulsion  stability  49.38  %.  Alcohol  content  of  tigernut  wine was  between  3.17  –  7.13  %.  Fresh  tigernuts  were  utilized  in  the  development  of  tigernut products  (milk,  coffee  and  wine)  using  household  methods  such  as  soaking,  drying,  roasting, malting,  fermentation  and  freezing.    Organoleptic  and  acceptability  assessment  of  the developed  tigernut  products  showed  that  there  was  no  significant  difference  (P  >  0.05) between  tiegrnut  products  and  their  controls  in  most  of  the  parameters  tested.  All  then products  were  highly  acceptable.  Tigernuts  products  (milk  extract  and  wine)  evaluation  per 100  ml  showed  high  ascorbic  acid  (6.18  –  7.8  mg),  thiamin  (0.80  –  1.25  mg),  riboflavin  (0.35 –  0.59  mg),  vitamin  E  (0.22  –  0.75  mg)  and  cyanocobalamin  (0.03  –  0.05  ug)  content.  The result  of  the  microbial  count  of  tigernut  products  (milk  and  wine)  showed  values  between  3.0 x 102 – 8.0 x 102 cfu / ml and keeping quality ranged from 6 hours to 10 months.
