Abstract

The increased price of tef, makes tef injera unaffordable for low income households that depend on it as a daily staple food despite tef ’s excellent amino acid composition, lysine levels higher than wheat or barley, as very high calcium, phosphorous, iron, copper, aluminum, barium, and thiamine thus there should be a study which fills the gap to optimize the blending of tef with other crops while ensuring nutritional quality, sensory acceptability and cost feasibility to be popularized and consumed. Injera made from whole wheat tef blend can be an important vehicle for conveying nutrition to pregnant women, young females in areas where there is less tendency of consuming wheat and teff blended injera. Red tef grain (Asgori), white teff grain (Quncho) was obtained from DZARC and bread wheat variatty (kingbird) was collected from Kulumsa Agricultural Research center. Proximate composition, mineral and sensory analysis of 100% tef, 100% wheat and wheat tef blend (10 to 50% wheat added to tef) were carried out. 30% wheat: 70% tef blended injera proves to be acceptable with respect to 100% tef injera and it has shown nutritional quality higher value for both iron and zinc content compared to 10% wheat, 20% wheat, 40% wheat and 50% wheat blended tef injera. Thus, 30% wheat and 70% tef blended injera has shown similar sensory quality with respect to overall acceptability to 100% tef injera and it is also economical important to substitute 30% of tef flour with 70% wheat flour in injera preparation.
