The impact of cotyledon activation on brown rice Rice (Oryza sativa), Aerial yam (Dioscorea bulbifera) and black turtle bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) was studied. Composite flours were prepared using cotyledon activated brown rice (GBR), aerial yam (AYF) and black turtle bean (GTB). The ratio of GBR: AYF: GTB used in the flour formulations were: 100GBR: 0AYF: 0GTB; 0GBR: 100AYF: 0GTB; 0GBR: 0AYF: 100GTB; 33.33GBR: 33.33AYF: 33.33GTB; 66.67GBR: 16.67AYF: 16.67GTB, 16.67GBR: 66.67AYF: 16.67GTB and 16.67GBR: 16.67AYF: 66.67GTB. Proximate composition, functional properties, antinutrients, minerals, vitamins, amino acid profile and antioxidant activity of the composite flours were determined using standard procedures. Protein efficiency ratio, essential amino acid index and biological value were calculated from the amino acid profile. Results showed ash content (2.72-3.20%), fibre (2.12-2.42%), protein (13.23-39.31%), tannin (0.973-1.120mg/100g), saponin (1.95-2.44 mg/g), oxalate (2.50-3.38mg/g), water absorption capacity (107.71–190.23%), oil absorption capacity (145.30-296.70%), water solubility index (16.05-17.78%), swelling capacity (230.10-250.50%), calcium (36.64-40.62mg/100g), phosphorus (84.84-88.93mg/100g), manganese (0.46-0.57mg/100g), magnesium (1741.20-1823.20mg/100g), vitamin B1 (2.75-4.06mg/100g, B2 (2.01-2.78 mg/100g, B3 (2.20-4.83mg/100g), B6 (2.63-3.98mg/100g) B12 (1.59-5.95mg/100g), essential amino acid index (70-99%), protein efficiency ratio (1.95–3.79), and biological value (70-96%). Nutrients and antioxidant properties were improved through the cotyledon activation process, level of antinutrients were safe and below toxicity level. The composite flour is invaluable as functional ingredient in food formulation.
