The effect of pre-treatment on the pasting and sensory characteristics of plantain biscuit was investigated. The plantain flour was produced using different treatments; the use of sodium metabisulphite (Na2S2O5), blanching at 80°C for 10min and unblanched plantain flour. The protein, fat and carbohydrate content of the flour samples are significantly difference (p< 0.05) and the unblanched sample had the highestvalue (6.04%) in protein. Result showed that there were significant difference (P< 0.05) in the bulk densities and water absorption capacity. The plantain treated with sodium metabisulphite had the highest value (1.05mg/100g) in sodium content. Pasting time and the final viscosity are significantly difference. The sensory evaluation results showed a significance difference in the appearance, colour, taste, flavour, aroma, crispiness, and the overall acceptability, but plantain treated with sodium metabisulphite was rated the highest by the panelist.Index Terms-Pre-treatment, Pasting, Plantain biscuit, Sensory.
