Abstract

Rheological andbaking tests werecarriedouton wheat-cocoyamcompositeflourmixedin different proportions. The
results of the farinograms and extensograms showed that replacemtnt of wheat flour up to 20% level gave bread of
acceptablequality.The proportionofextensibilityandresistancetoforcedecreasedwiththeincreaseofcocoyam flour
in the composite mix. Mixing tolerance index also indicated the poor quality of the composite flour beyond 20%
replacement. Breadmaking properties, as indicated by internal and external scores, also showed that beyond 20%
replacement levelthebread wasunattractive andlacking in therequiredquality attributes.
