    Matured green plantain (Musa paradisiaca) was processed into plantain flour and composted with wheat flour prior to extrusion. In this study, the effect of extrusion cooking variables [Barrel Temperature (BT, Feed Moisture Content (FMC) and Screw Speed (SS)] on the extrudate properties of whate-plantain noodles were investigated, while predictive models were also developed. Results obtained showed that changing the cooking variables significantly (p ≤ 0.05) affected all the extrudate properties studied. An increase in the screw speed (6.3-8.4 m/s) and feed moisture content (40-50%) resulted in a substantial increase in the expansion ratio (48%), residence time (62%) and specific mechanical energy (83.6%) Likewise, an increase in barrel temperature increased the mass flow rate (64.5%) of the extrudates significantly (p ≤ 0.05).
