      <abstract><p>Abstract
This study investigated the pasting characteristics of composite flour blends formulated with varying ratios of cassava, wheat, and soybean flours (45:50:5, 40:50:10, and 35:50:15, alongside 50:45:5, 50:40:10, and 50:35:15). The research focused on how these ratios affect the blends&#039; viscosity, stability, and thermal properties. The results indicated that increasing the proportion of cassava flour enhanced peak, trough, final, and setback viscosities, which contributes to greater structural integrity and a firmer texture in baked goods. Conversely, higher soybean content reduced peak and setback viscosities, resulting in a softer texture and improved heat stability. These findings suggest that by adjusting flour proportions, manufacturers can tailor the textural attributes and cooking characteristics of flour-based products to meet specific consumer preferences, offering an adaptable approach to functional food development in bakery applications.
