Orange-fleshed sweet potato (OFSP) is a promising root crop due to its high β-carotene content which could help to reduce vitamin A deficiency (VAD). However, it is a less utilized perishable crop. In order to use OFSP tubers, incorporation with other flours in processing and baked products can be considered. The aim of this study is to determine the functional properties of the composite flour, development of extruded snacks using locally fabricated extruder from flour of different blend ratio of OFSP, YRC, Plantain fortified with moringa leaves powder and to determine the proximate composition of the fresh of orange fleshed sweet potato, yellow root cassava, plantain, the flour and the extruded baked snacks.
