The objective of this work was to produce biscuits from composite flour of wheat, coconut, and defatted fluted pumpkin seed and to evaluate the mineral bioavailability, amino acid profile and sensory properties of the composite biscuits. Wheat/coconut/defatted fluted pumpkin seed flours were blended in the ratio; 100/0/0, 80/10/10, 70/20/10, 60/30/10, 50/40/10, 40/50/10 and labelled as sample A, B, C, D, E and F respectively. Biscuits were baked with these composite flours using the creaming method. Lysine content ranged from 3.35-5.07g/100g, with sample F given significantly higher value followed by samples E (4.70g.100g) and D (4.33g/100g). All the essential amino acids increased significantly with increased substitution of coconut and fluted pumpkin seed flour, except phenyl-lanine and cysteine that decreased from 4.98 – 3.90 and 1.22 – 0.69g/100g respectively in sample A to E. Sample E gave higher total Ca, Fe, K and Zn of 26.89, 17.92, 86.02 and 2.82mg/100g respectively. Percentage bioavailability of Ca, Fe, Na, K and Zn were significantly higher in sample F with values of 59.67, 51.35, 58.22, 59.67 and 47.74% respectively. Sample E recorded the highest overall acceptability score of 6.38. This score was however not significantly different from scores obtained for samples A, B, C and D. Production of composite biscuits with 50/40/10% wheat/coconut/defatted fluted pumpkin seed flour is highly recommended.
