Abstract

Dioclea reflexa was processed into flour and used to supplement wheat flour in the percentages of 0, 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10, 12.5 and 15 for biscuit production. Flour blends were evaluated for functional and pasting characteristics, while biscuits were analysed for proximate composition and sensory qualities. Proximate analysis results showed significant (p≤0.05) increase in protein (9.83 – 13.85%), fat (3.86 – 4.72%), fiber (2.03 - 3.84%), while moisture (10.43 -9.83%) and carbohydrate (70.49-60.95) content decreased with inclusion of Dioclea reflexa. No significant differences (p≥0.05) occurred in the sensory qualities of products from 100% wheat and 92.5: 7.5 flour blend. Hence acceptable biscuit from 92.5: 7.5 (wheat: Dioclea reflexa) blend have been formulated, which could enhance the nutritional wellness of the target consumers.
