The profile of the strain-sweep measurements at 1 rad/s frequency for the control (0% banana), 10%, and the 30% banana, where the linear range of control was less than 1% and the linear range of the 10% and 30% suspensions was less than 0.3% as well as the remaining blends. The elastic or storage modulus (G0) for the 30% blend was the highest among the three blends. Although all samples had the amount of added vital gluten (25%), the high banana content of the 30% blend and the higher amount of gluten in the 10% blends are possibly the cause of the high G0 relative to
the control. The 30% blend contains higher fibre content, while the 10% blend was higher in gluten content due to the higher wheat flour in the blend. Therefore, the high fibre content facili-tated the formation of a more solid like suspension, while gluten
is known to have high elasticity than the other components in the flour causing higher G0 of the two blends than the control.
