  • - The study investigates how substituting kidney bean flour (KBF) in extruded purple sweet potato (EPSP) affects its nutritional profile, focusing on aspects like glycemic index (GI) and antioxidant capacity.
  • - Substituting 40% KBF increases protein and fiber in EPSP while lowering its GI to a low category of 53.1, compared to higher GI values for 0% and 30% substitutions.
  • - Extrusion processing lowers anthocyanin content and antioxidant capacity of EPSP, suggesting the need for alternative methods to retain antioxidants while improving nutritional profiles.
