Accepted: 29/09/2014 Abstract The objective of this work was to investigate the chemical composition, pasting properties and selected functional properties of chickpea and dried green pea flour. The proximate analysis showed that there was a non significant difference in chickpea flour and dried green pea flour composition, except that of crude fat and fiber. The crude fat of chickpea flour sho...

Pizza being the most popular food worldwide, quality and sensory appeal are important considerations during its modification effort. This study was aimed to evaluate the quality of pizza made using two different sources of proteins, chickpea (Cicer arietinum) flour and dried carp fish powder (Cyprinus carpio). Analysis indicated nutrients richness specificity of chickpea flour (higher fiber, en...

The nutrient composition, antinutritional factors and flour functionality of cowpea and horse gram flours were evaluated in comparison to chickpea flour characteristics. Protein content of these flours was in the range of 22.5 24.1%. Fat content was highest in chickpea (4.8%) and lowest in horse gram (1.4%). Resistant starch and phytic acid were significantly higher in cowpea flour. Compared to...

The objective of the present work is to compare some different crop products such as protein isolates and defatted whole flours from legumes, as chickpea and soy bean, involved in the molded compression processing to obtain plastics. The present work analysed the possibility of forming new plastic materials with products of chickpea, and soy bean seeds typically from the North West of Argentina...

This study was to investigate the effects of wheat flour substitution with legume flour (mung bean and chick pea) in cookies in terms of the physicochemical and organoleptic properties. Three formulations of cookies were prepared from (a) Control (100% wheat flour), (b) Mung bean (50% wheat flour + 35% mung bean flour + 15% corn flour) and (c) Chickpea (50% wheat flour + 35% chickpea flour + 15...

The reasons for our study include the area under cultivation, the remarkable amount of protein in chickpeas and lentils, as well as the public interest in tending to meat products, especially hamburgers. Materials and Methods: In this study...

BACKGROUND Tarhana is a fermented cereal product that is used for the preparation of one of the favourite soups in Turkish cuisine. Tarhana is a mixture of wheat flour, yoghurt, baker's yeast, salt, and various vegetables, spices and seasonings. It is obtained by mixing all ingredients in the recipe and afterwards the mixture is let to ferment at room temperature. Following fermentation tarhana...

The study on utilization of carrot pomace powder (CPP) and germinated chickpea flour (GCF) in biscuits was undertaken to upgrade the nutritional quality and assess the acceptability. The biscuits were prepared from composite flours by incorporating 5, 8 and 10 parts of germinated chickpea flour and similar corresponding parts of carrot pomace powder in to wheat flour. The biscuits were analyzed...

Dairy desserts are complex mixtures and matrices including main components such as milk, sugar, starch, hydrocolloids, colorants and flavors, with a proteinaceous structure; they are widely consumed and present a semisolid consistency. In this work, the physicochemical and rheological properties of a dairy dessert with the addition of chickpea flour (raw and cooked, at four concentrations) were...
