Diploma Thesis from the year 2023 in the subject Tourism - Miscellaneous, course: Final Year Project, language: English, abstract: The study identified millet as an important grain in the production of pancakes in Ghana, truncating excessive wheat importation and ensuring self-reliance. Accordingly, millet flour was produced, and a standardised recipe developed for its use in the preparation of pancake. These pancakes were encoded and submitted for a sensory evaluation of 22 tasters. They gave their valuation on the colour, taste, texture, flavour, appearance and overall quality of each product following a hedonic scale of 9 points: 9 (I like extremely) to 1 (I don't like). The finding of the research indicates that the objectives of the had been achieved. However, having gone through the various procedures of testing the pancakes prepared from millet flour, the following were observed. The determinants (color, taste, flavor, texture and appearance) are a good technique that could be used to add value to it. The determinants as well as the packaging material used does not only attract consumers but also improved the quality, standard and hygiene of the product. Finally, it must be emphasized that, if all the necessary recommendations suggested from the findings of this research, it would advance the government of Ghana's call for reduce importation of wheat, while ensuring food security.
