Green banana flour (GBF), as a functional ingredient, was used to partially substitute cassava starch in
two types of snacks, viz. fish cracker (FC) and cassava cracker (CC). It is observed that use of GBF
increased the nutritional value including enhancement of dietary fiber, essential minerals, polyphenol
content, antioxidant capacity and decreased oil content to varying degrees depending on the substitution
level in these two crackers. However, its use compromised the textural properties in terms of the linear
expansion ratio, crispness, bulk density, porosity and color. Sensory evaluation showed that the products
with not more than 40 g substitution level by GBF from 100 g cassava starch in CC and not more than 15 g
in FC were acceptable by the panelists.
