1.It gives the dough strength to hold leavening gases and determines the structure of the bakes products.

i) Microwave cooking is a healthy method of cooking as little or no oil is required to cook the food.

Assertion :Alcohol and petrol can be used as household fuels for cooking.Reason : They are highly inflammable substance

This study demonstrated that extrusion cooking can be used to develop acceptable and nutritious instant composite flours from locally available foods. It further revealed that ingredient complementation can be strategically applied in the development of extruded foods to boost sensory acceptability. Barrel temperature and feed moisture content do have varying effects on nutritional quality of extruded foods thus necessitating process optimization for products. Increasing barrel temperature and feed moisture content leads to a decrease in polyphenol, phytic acid contents, and iron extractability, but increases zinc extractability. Increasing feed moisture content favors retention of vitamin A. Optimal processing conditions for amaranth-based porridge flours developed in this study were 14% feed moisture content and a barrel temperature of 169°C.
