Cowpea flour: A potential ingredient in food products

Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition, 1996
Cowpeas (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) are an important grain legume in East and West African countries as well as in other developing countries. The U.S. is the only developed country producing large amounts of cowpeas. High protein (18 to 35%) and carbohydrate (50 to 65%) contents, together with an amino acid pattern complementary to that of cereal ...

Improving the production and utilization of cowpea as food and fodder

Field Crops Research, 2003
Abstract Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) is an important food legume and an integral part of traditional cropping systems in the semi-arid regions of the tropics. The estimated worldwide area under cowpea is about 14 million ha of which West Africa alone accounts for about 9.3 million ha with annual production of about 2.9 Mt. Cowpea grains are

Nutrient composition of extruded cowpea products

International Journal of Food Science & Technology, 1988
SummaryThree cultivars of cowpeas (Ife brown, Vita 5 and California black eye) were blended with either rice, corn or both rice and corn and banana puree. The blends were dry extruded on a low cost extruder. The average energy content was 440 Kcal/100 g, protein 20% and the trypsin inhibitor activity was reduced by 63–84%. The stachyose contents varied

Processing of a cowpea–groundnut blend into a miso-like product

International Journal of Food Sciences and Nutrition, 2004
A traditional salt-miso process was used to produce a miso-like product from a 50-50 mixture of cowpea and groundnuts in a 60-day fermentation process as part of a study to determine the suitability of local legumes as raw materials for the production of miso.

PRODUCT LIFE CYCLE MODEL OF COWPEA BASED PRODUCTS IN GHANA

2002
An exploratory market study of cowpea products in Ghana using data from case studies of consumers, personal interviews of processors and market surveillance of retail outlets indicated that the cowpea processing industry has low milling capacity, low production level, and few small operators most of whom have been in the business for less than six ...

Farmers Resource - Use and Technical Efficiency in Cowpea Production in Nigeria [PDF]

Economic Analysis and Policy, 2010
Abstract: In Nigeria, the use of stochastic frontier to estimate farm level efficiency effects is still at the rudimentary level and is beginning to build up. Few studies have been undertaken but there is dearth need for more empirical studies on this important issue.

Assessment of New Herbicide Programs for Cowpea Production

Weed Technology, 2018
Cowpea is a major specialty crop in the southern US. In recent years, no new herbicide programs have been evaluated for cowpea despite additional herbicide registrations. Studies were conducted from 2014 to 2016 at Fayetteville and Kibler, Arkansas to assess new herbicide programs for cowpea production. The herbicide programs included: three commercial

The effects of intracanopy lighting on cowpea production.

Life support & biosphere science : international journal of earth space, 1999
Utilizing a combination of above-canopy and intracanopy lighting may prove highly beneficial in a Lunar Controlled Ecological Life Support System (LCELSS) as a means of increasing volumetric efficiency of plant growth. Intracanopy lighting was not found to be detrimental to plant tissue and production per plant when cowpeas were grown using sand ...

Use of Red Cowpea in the Manufacture of Some Food Products

Starch - Stärke, 1989
AbstractCowpea flour, starch and protein were successfully used as substituents in a wide range of food products, either as protein supplements or alternative ingredients. Acceptable soft buns were produced from ingredients in which wheat flour was substituted at the level of 10%, by weight, with dry‐ or wet‐dehulled cowpea flour, or 20% with dry ...

Effect of pesticides applied in cowpea production on rumen microbial fermentation of cowpea haulms as reflected in in vitro gas production

2014
The present study assessed the effect of lambda cyhalothrin, cypermethrin and dimethoate residues in cowpea haulm on microbial fermentation using gas syringes as incubators. The lambda cyhalothrin, cypermethrin and dimethoate were applied at the vegetative, flowering and podding stages of the cowpea at the rate of 2.66 mg/L, 5.14 mg/L and 6.68 mg/L of ...
