Abstract

The 25%, 35%, and 45% cardava banana flour were mixed with all-purpose flour, added with full-cream milk, eggs, garlic paste, sugar, and a mixture of fish and seagrasses powder, and baked in a dehydrator oven with 1500C in 20 minutes. Nine experts were panels, arranged in a Latin Square William Design using a Nine-point Hedonic scale as a survey instrument. It was the 25% content, chosen as the best treatment and subjected to laboratory analysis. A 62.5-gram serving size has 913.5mg of Vitamin C, 40,000mg of Potassium, and 38.9mg of Iron, which was ten times, eight times, and twice higher than the individual daily requirement respectively. The Colors, Aroma, Mouthfeel, Texture, Sweetness, and General acceptability of the treatments were significantly different from each other, except for the Flavors which were non-significant. The ingredients utilized strongly contributed to the flavors and with relatively the same degree of effects on each sample.
