Popis: Colocasia esculenta L. Schott and Xanthosoma sagittifolium L. Schott are two tropical tubers species commonly referred as cocoyams. Colocasia esculenta tuber is usually used for the preparation of achu (smooth paste food), but not always available. This work is aimed at evaluating the effect of mixing two cocoyam flours on the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of precooked composite flours and achu. In this respect, a factorial design was realized. This factorial design was 2 varieties of Xanthosoma sagittifolium (white-flesh and red-flesh) coded as WX and RX and 5 levels of substitutions (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100%) in the Colocasia esculenta (Ibo coco) coded as IC. Precooked flours showed significant (p
