ABSTRACT
 This study
was aimed at developing and evaluating the antidiabetic and sensory properties
of dough meal from flour blends of cocoyam, millet, black bean enriched with
unripe plantain peel flour. The flour blends were formulated into different
proportions (CssM2Bis, Cs3sM2z.9Bis.s and Cas.9M3sB16.1). All the formulated
flour blends were fortified with 5 g of unripe plantain peel flour. The
commercial wheat flour served as the control. Dough meals were prepared from
the formulated flour blends including the control, and were analyzed for
antidiabetic and sensory properties. The starch digestibility of the flour
blends showed that the RDS ranged from 25.50 to 35.89%, 7.20 to 21.21% for SDS,
2.10 to 2.69% for RS, 43.60 to 63.81% for TS, and 42.01 to 44.00 for eGI. The
protein digestibility of the flour blends ranged from 62.15 to 70.50%. Sample
CssM21B1s flour blend possessed the highest aamylase inhibition activity (
44.96 to 69.15%) and the control had the highest a-glucosidase inhibition
activity range of 3.23 to 5.40%. The a-amylase and a-glucosidase potential of
dough meal made from CssM21B1scompete favourably with acarbose (antidiabetic
drug). The sensory characteristics including appearance, taste, aroma,
mouldability, and mouthfeel of the dough meal from CssM21B1s flour blend sample
compete favourably with dough meal from control flour in terms of the overall
acceptability, and could be recommended for diabetics.
