Abstract

A simplex centroid mixture design (SCMD) was used to optimize ingredient combination comprising cassava starch (CS), high quality cassava flour (HQCF) and fish flour (FF) in the production of cassava-fish crackers. The standard slurry method was used and the effect of ingredient combination on some quality attributes of the crackers fried at 180 °C ± 5 °C for 15 s was investigated. Ingredient combination has a significant positive effect on oil and moisture contents, texture but expanded less. Increase in CS and FF resulted in decrease oil uptake while it increases with HQCF. Lightness decreased with increase in FF while redness and yellowness increases. Regression analyses indicated that the quadratic, cubic as well as special cubic nonlinear terms were significant (p < 0.05) in many of the models derived. Optimum ingredient mixture resulting in lower oil content and breaking force with maximum expansion and desirable physico-chemical properties was 85% CS, 10%HQCF and 5% FF.
