Three cultivars of cocoyam (Xanthosoma sagittifolium) were processed into flour and used to formulate composite flours with wheat at percentage substitutions of 5 and 10%. The chemical composition, anti-nutrients and functional properties of composite flours were determined. Results indicate that Ede Ofe cultivar (EOF131) had the highest water absorption capacity of 1.70 mg/mL While Wheat Flour (WHF101) recorded the lowest. WHF101 had the highest contents of absorption and swelling capacities, 2.20 g/mL and 8.50 g/g, respectively. The Ede Ocha cultivar contained significantly higher content (P < 0.05) of phytate (0.19%) than others. The three whole cocoyam flours were generally higher in the anti-nutrient properties of tannin, alkaloid and saponin than WHF101. The WHF101 flour sample had higher contents of Ca, Mg, Na, K and P than others. The composite flours containing 5% each of cocoyam flour cultivars were generally comparable with those of wheat flour and did not differ significantly (P > 0.05). The study concluded that the composite flours may find relevance in food applications, especially in the production of baked food products especially in developing countries.
