Plantain flour nutritional properties of cookies was investigated. Cookies were elaborated with commercial wheat flour (CWF),

containing cookies exhibited lower hardness than CWF-cookie. Although the use of RPF decreased consumer’s
acceptability compared to CWF-cookie, the cookies with EPF showed sensory characteristics of 52–65% com-
pared with the CWF-cookie (100%). This study shows CA esterification of plantain flour as a successful strategy
to manufacture cookies with low DS and pGI.
