| Abstract | ||
| This study aimed to partially replace wheat flour (WF) with baobab flour (BF) to formulate composite flour (WBF). The replacement ratios were 5%, 10% and 20%. for biscuits and crackers manufacturing. Proximate analysis results showed significant (P≤0.05) increase in ash from 0.94 to1.41%, fiber 0. 19 to 0. 96 %, and nitrogen free extract 81.76 to 81.89, while moisture decreased from 14.01 to 13.32% protein 14.49 to 14.20 and fat 2.81to 2.48 as the BF substitution level rises. The phytochemical of the blended wheat, increased as the levels of BF increased .The phenolic substances managed between 52.04 to 111.61 mg, and antioxidant activity 52.66 to 77.13 estimated by DPPH method. The composite flour contained considerably higher amounts of the following mineral elements: Ca, K, Mg, Fe, Mn and Zn, as compared to the control (WF). Moreover, WBF exhibited higher amounts of phenylalanine and histidine on contrary to leucine and cysteine as compared to the control (WF). Sensorial evaluation indicated that 5% replacement ratio was the significantly (P ≤ 0.05) comparable to the control as judged by panelists. | ||
