Flakes made from tongka langit banana flour and corn flour are one of value-added diversified product of banana and corn. The aim of this research was to produce flakes made from tongka langit banana and corn flour with the exact formulation. A completely randomized experimental design with formulation of both flour was applied and was replicated twice. Results showed that the best treatment was found to be 20% banana flour and 80% corn flour. Flakes with this formulation were mostly accepted by panelists and had the moisture, ash, protein, fat, and carbohydrate contents of 5.12%, 3.65%, 3.37%, 1.78%, and 47.86%, respectively.
