Abstract | Bread is a staple food worldwide, but the increasing prevalence of gluten-related disorders and the need for nutritious alternatives have led to exploring composite flours in bread production. This study investigated the effects of incorporating fermented plantain flour into wheat bread on its nutritional composition, anti-inflammatory properties, glycemic response, and sensory characteristics. Composite bread samples were analyzed for proximate composition, amino acid profile, anti-inflammatory activities (protein denaturation, membrane stabilization, and enzyme inhibition), glycemic index, and sensory attributes. Results showed that 30% plantain flour substitution (ZOM3) significantly enhanced the nutritional profile, with increased protein (23.16%), fiber (3.51%), and improved amino acid composition. This formulation demonstrated superior anti-inflammatory properties, with protein denaturation inhibition (IC50 ~26 μg/ml) comparable to diclofenac, and showed remarkable anti-lipoxygenase (IC50 16.01 μg/ml) and anti-cyclooxygenase (IC50 19.20 μg/ml) activities. The glycemic load was significantly reduced in ZOM3 (25.1) compared to the control (51.26). Sensory evaluation revealed high acceptability scores (8.12-8.67) for all composite bread formulations. These findings suggest that fermented plantain flour can be successfully incorporated into wheat bread up to 30% substitution level, creating a functional food product with enhanced nutritional value, improved health-promoting properties, and acceptable sensory characteristics. |
