West African soft cheese (wara) produced from sheep milk was processed with different coagulants which are Calotropis procera leaves, Carica papaya leaves, lemon juice and steep water from maize, millet and soghurm. The results of the percentage yield shows that Calotropis procera coagulated milk had the highest percentage yield of 25.60% while wara coagulated with steep water from maize had the lowest percentage yield of 3.80%. The proximate analysis was carried out to evaluate the nutritional composition such as: crude protein, crude fibre, fat, moisture and ash contents of wara produced from sheep milk. The results shows that the moisture and fat contents of wara produced with steep water from maize had the highest value of (60.52 and 18.23) respectively, the ash content of wara produced with Calotropis procera had the highest value (0.83), the protein and carbohydrate contents of wara produced with steep water from sorghum had the highest values of (32.67 and 10.45) respectively. This study suggests the use of steep water from grains such as maize millet and sorghum as an alternative milk coagulant due to reports of probable health hazard from the use of Calotropis procera. However, further work on improving the yield of cheese when this steep water is used as coagulant is still necessary.
