【 摘 要 】

Indonesia is a tropical country that has great potential in agriculture. Tubers and legumes as examples of the potential commodities are needed to be more developed. Flour production is one of the best alternatives to be chosen as the downstream stage of the tubers and legumes utilization. Greater yam (Dioscorea alata) and jack bean (Canavalia ensiformis) were used in this study. This study was conducted to determine best formula of composite flour based on physical, chemical, and functional characterization of composite flour produced. Variations of formula used was the ratio of greater yam flour and jack bean flour, which were 85:15 (F1), 70:30 (F2), 55:45 (F3), respectively, and this study was conducted using completely randomized design (CRD). The formula variations didn't show any significant effect on the water absorption capability, water holding capacity (WHC), oil holding capacity (OHC), swelling power, and starch content of the composite flour. However, the formula variations had a significant influence on the colour, proximate parameters, amylose and amylopectin content, resistant starch content, dietary fibre, total phenol, and antioxidant activity of the composite flour produced. Considering the results of physical, chemical, and functional characteristics of composite flour, formula (F1) was selected as the best composite flour developed from greater yam and jack bean flours.
