This study examined the effect of African walnut protein isolate, wheat and yellow maize flours on the general acceptability of cookie production. In this study, blends of African walnut protein isolate, wheat and yellow maize flours were studied in a completely randomized design assessment of the proximate composition. The variables were wheat flour (30-50%), yellow maize flour (20-30%) and African walnut protein isolate (10-20%) to generate 20 composite blends. The proximate composition and functional properties of blends and flours were determined using standard methods. Three blends of samples 50.00 g wheat flour, 30.00 g yellow maize flour, 20.00 g African walnut protein isolate; 45.24 g wheat flour, 28.27 g yellow maize flour, 26.48 g African walnut protein isolate and 45.24 g wheat flour, 37.79 g yellow maize flour and 16.97 g African walnut protein isolate as assessed by the highest protein and fiber and low fat contents, were selected from optimization results of proximate composition for production and sensory evaluation of cookies. The proximate composition of flours revealed that African walnut protein isolate was significantly higher in protein than other flours. Fat in African walnut protein isolate was the least, while crude fiber and carbohydrate contents were not detected in African walnut protein isolate. Functional analysis revealed that yellow maize flour had the highest value in water absorption capacity; yellow maize flour and African walnut protein isolate had the highest oil absorption capacity, while African walnut protein isolate scored the least in bulk density. The sample 45.24 g wheat flour, 28.27 g yellow maize flour and 26.48 g African walnut protein isolate had the highest protein and ash, with the lowest fat content among the blends. However, cookie prepared from sample 45.24 g wheat flour, 37.79 g yellow maize flour and 16.97 g African walnut protein isolate had the best overall acceptability. However, the study recommends the flour proportion of sample 45.24 g wheat flour, 37.79 g yellow maize flour and 16.97 g African walnut protein isolate in cookie production by establishing the inclusion in Nigerian food industry and as a way of reducing or alleviate malnutrition.
