ABSTRACT
In this study the functional properties of wheat, cocoyam and plantain flours; proximate composition and sensory characteristics of cookies produced from flour blends of composite flours of wheat, cocoyam and plantain were investigated. The wheat, cocoyam and plantain flours were blended in different proportions of wheat 24Og: cocoyarn 3Og: plantain 30g, wheat 210g: cocoyam 60g: plantain 30g, wheat 180g: cocoyam 90g: plantain 30g, wheat lSOg: cocoyam 120g: plantain 30g. The results of the functional properties revealed that the bulk density (0.585-0.645g1ni1) and emulsion capacity (I 9.60- 27.72%) did not show significant differences (p>O.05). However significant differences (p<O.OS) were observed in the oil absorption capacity (l.930-2,l9Og/ml), water absorption capacity (3.250-4.800glml), swelling index (2.900-3.320) and gelation capacity (75.00-80.00%). The proximate composition results revealed significant differences (p<O.05) between some samples based on their contents (5.94-6.34%), crude protein contents (8.38-9.84%), crude fiber contents (1.45-1.60%), ether extracts (11.30- 13.45%), carbohydrate contents (67.12-71.33%) and dry matter contents (93.86-94.63). However, the ash content (1 .60-1 .85%) of the samples did not reveal significant differences (p>O.OS). The sensory characteristics of the samples did not reveal significant differences in their taste and aroma but significant differences (p<O.OS) were observed in the texture appearance and general acceptability of the samples. At the end of the sensory analysis, sample 305 was the most generally accepted sample.
