Phytochemical studies of wheat-plantain composite flours enriched with velvet beans flours

Research Journal of Food Science and Nutrition
Wheat, which is an expensive grain, is not adequate to meet the nutritional requirements of the end users. Hence, enrichment of wheat with easily affordable underutilized legumes and fruits that have superior nutritional value is a good approach to producing functional foods and this is also a good way to reduce the cost of wheat importation. Therefore,
