Uncontrolled hyperglycaemia in individuals with diabetes mellitus can increase the risk factors for disease complications. Therefore, lifestyle management becomes a vital measure for those individuals, especially in diet management, to control their blood sugar level. Breadfruit starch-based cookies contain resistant starch, amylose, and amylopectin that can inhibit the increment of blood sugar levels. Hence, these cookies can be used as an alternative snack for those individuals. This study was aimed to analyse the content of resistant starch, amylose, and amylopectin, as well as the acceptability level of breadfruit starch-based cookies. We used a completely randomised experiment using four formulations with various breadfruit flour content: 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%. The breadfruit formulation containing breadfruit flour (BF) and wheat flour (WF). Formula 25% (25% BF 75% WF, 50% (50% BF and WF), 75% (75% BF 25% WF), and 100% BF. The one-way ANOVA was used to compare the content of resistant starch, amylose, and amylopectin among the cookies. Furthermore, the Friedman test was used to analyse the acceptance level of the cookies, which includes colour, odour, texture, and flavour. The cookies contain 19.38-20.51% of resistant starch, 13.55-16.60% of amylose, and 83.39- 86.44% of amylopectin. The highest resistant starch and amylose contents were found in cookies with 100% breadfruit flour content, while the highest amylopectin content was found in the 25% formulation. The acceptability level of the cookies included colour, odour, texture, and flavour. Cookies made with 100% breadfruit flour contained the highest resistant starch and amylose, but the lowest amylopectin. It also received the highest acceptability among the panellists.
