Abstract In this study, the overripe plantain has been used to produce high-antioxidant powders, using Adansonia digitata L. pulp and Hibiscus sabdariffa L. calyces as antioxidant supplements. The constrained mixture design (ranged between 0.9–1.0 for plantain and 0–0.1 for supplements) was used to generate ten powder formulations. The obtained powders were evaluated for physicochemical properties and antioxidant activities. Generally, significant differences (p
