Ogi production results in nutrient loss. B. aegyptiaca seeds, rich in biomaterials, could enhance ogi's nutritional potential. This study aimed to fortify ogi with bioactives from B. aegyptiaca seeds, targeting a 16% protein inclusion, compared to ogi flour as control. Mineral profiles were analyzed, showing higher levels in the fortified samples, particularly in DAM-ogi and PP-ogi, which are implicated in diabetes control. Pasting profiles indicated higher values in PP-ogi, suggesting improved rheological properties due to B. aegyptiaca bioactives.
