摘要：Foaming capacity and stability, water absorption capacity; emulsion capacity and stability; and least gelation concentration of kersting`s and bambara groundnut flours as influenced by types of salt (NaCl, NaNO₃, NaNO₂, CH₃COONa and Na₂SO₄) and their concentrations were investigated using standard techniques. The results showed that the highest foaming capacity was recorded for CH₃COONa at 15.0% (w/v) salt concentration in kesting`s groundnut while lowest was NaNO₂ at 0.5% (w/v) in bambara groundnut flour. Foaming stability values after 8h were types of salt and salt concentrations dependent. The water absorption capacity decreased at various salt concentrations compared with value in distilled deionized water. The best salts for water absorption capacity were NaNO₂, CH₃COONa and Na₂SO₄ particularly at 0.5% (w/v) salt concentration. The oil emulsion capacity depended mostly on salt concentration and the type of salt under consideration while oil emulsion stability is better at higher salt concentrations between 5.0-15% (w/v) than lower salt concentrations for the two studied samples. Likewise the least gelation concentration of 12.0% (kersting`s groundnut flour) and 14.0% (bambara groundnut flour) in free salt solutions were improved to between 6.0-10% and 8.0-12.0%, respectively in the presence of the salts used.
