Summary Partially defatted coconut flour ( PDCF ) as a source of medium chain fatty acids was selected to replace fat in rusk formulation. Effect of replacement of wheat flour with PDCF (10%, 20% and 30%) on quality characteristics of rusk was studied. Increasing PDCF from 0% to 30% decreased farinograph water absorption, amylograph peak viscosity and overall quality score (52.5 to 19.5) of rusk. Use of additive mix, AM (4% dry gluten powder + 0.002% fungal α‐amylase) to 20% PDCF , increased the farinograph dough stability, strength of the paste during heating and overall quality score (39.5 to 50.5). The rusk with 20% PDCF + AM was stable up to 30 days, had 1.6, 5.5 times higher protein and dietary fibre contents as compared to control rusk respectively. The fat in the rusk had zero trans fatty acids and contained 66.2% medium chain fatty acids with lauric acid as a major fatty acid.
