Abstract

In this study antioxidant and antinutritional composition of wheat-tacca [T. involucrata] flour biscuits produced in the following blend ratio: Wheat: enzymatically modifies Tacca flour 95:5, 90:10, 85:15 and 80:20 was analyzed, biscuit produced from 100% wheat flour was used as control. There was a significant reduction in the antinutritional composition of the composite flour biscuit with increase in substitution. Also, there was a significant increase in the antioxidant properties (Total phenol, DPPH, FRAP, ABTS, OH, Flavonoids), with increase in substitution of wheat flour with enzymatically modified Tacca flour.
