The shelf life and quality of kilishi prepared with different slurries were evaluated. Fresh beef was purchased from the market, sliced into thin sheets and sun-dried. Thereafter, the groundnut, bambaranut and soybean slurries were prepared with the addition of spices and seasonings. Afterwards, the dried beef samples were weighed and divided equally into three groups. The first group was infused into the groundnut slurry, the second group was infused into the bambaranut slurry and the third group was infused into the soybean slurry and sundried. The dried infused beef slices were roasted, cooled, packaged in an air-tight container and stored for 16 weeks at an ambient temperature of 28±2ºC for proximate, microbial, thiobarbituric acid and sensory analysis. The proximate analysis showed a significant difference (p<0.05) in fat, ash and nitrogen free extract while no significant difference (p>0.05) was found in moisture, crude protein and fibre content across the samples. Kilishi made with groundnut slurry had the highest fat content (17.46%) whereas the highest ash content (5.37 %) and nitrogen free extract were observed in kilishi made with bambaranut slurry respectively. No significant difference (p<0.05) was observed in thiobarbituric acid and microbial counts except on the Salmonella with the highest count (1.39x103 CFU/g) found in kilishi made with groundnut slurry while the lowest count (1.18x103 CFU/g) was found in kilishi made with soybean slurry. Similarly, no significant difference (p>0.05) was found in sensory parameters except in overall acceptability. Kilishi made with groundnut slurry was most accepted with a score of 7.50. The findings suggest that bambaranut and soybean slurries can serve as viable alternatives in kilishi production, offering nutritional and microbial stability comparable to groundnut-based kilishi.
