  • The study explored using drum-dried overripe Kepok plantain flour (KPF) as a substitute for wheat flour in instant noodles to improve their nutritional and textural properties.
  • Noodles with 10%, 20%, and 30% KPF substitutions showed varying effects on attributes like adhesiveness, elasticity, and cooking quality, with 20% yielding the best balance of firmness, shape retention, and reduced stickiness.
  • KPF also enhanced nutritional value by increasing resistant starch content and decreasing oil absorption, showcasing its potential as a functional ingredient for healthier instant noodles.
