Characterization of modified cassava flour (mocaf)-based biscuits substituted with soybean flour at varying concentrations and particle sizes

Mocaf can be used as an alternative raw material for making complementary food because it has high carbohydrate content. However, the protein content is low so that it is necessary to substitute other ingredients which have high protein content such as soybean. The objective of this study was to characterize the mocaf-based biscuits containing soybean flour at concentrations of 10%, 15%, and 20%, and particle sizes of 420, 250, and 177 μm. Pasting properties of composite flours were evaluated in terms of peak viscosity, breakdown viscosity, setback viscosity, final viscosity, and pasting temperatures, while physicochemical properties of mocaf-based biscuit and microstructures were investigated in terms of moisture, ash, protein, fat, carbohydrate, calorie contents, color, hardness, and fracturability. Higher concentrations of soybean flour were associated with increased ash, protein, and fat content, as well as hardness. Moreover, the hardness of biscuits varied significantly depending on the particle sizes of soybean flour. Finally, the highest protein contents were achieved using 20% soybean flour with a particle size of 420 μm.
