Mocaf can be used as an alternative raw material for making complementary food because
it has high carbohydrate content. However, the protein content is low so that it is
necessary to substitute other ingredients which have high protein content such as soybean.
The objective of this study was to characterize the mocaf-based biscuits containing
soybean flour at concentrations of 10%, 15%, and 20%, and particle sizes of 420, 250, and
177 µm. Pasting properties of composite flours were evaluated in terms of peak viscosity,
breakdown viscosity, setback viscosity, final viscosity, and pasting temperatures, while
physicochemical properties of mocaf-based biscuit and microstructures were investigated
in terms of moisture, ash, protein, fat, carbohydrate, calorie contents, color, hardness, and
fracturability. Higher concentrations of soybean flour were associated with increased ash,
protein, and fat content, as well as hardness. Moreover, the hardness of biscuits varied
significantly depending on the particle sizes of soybean flour. Finally, the highest protein
contents were achieved using 20% soybean flour with a particle size of 420 µm.
