Abstract:
The nutritional value of little known legumes was studied. Grass pea, old variety of pea, dark varieties of beans and chickpea were processed into flour, farina, flakes and malt. These raw materials were added into bread, bakery products, pastas, spreads and desserts; tempeh was prepared by fermentation with Rhizopus mould. Foods with legumes were submitted to nutritional evaluation and sensory analysis. The addition of legumes to bakery goods increased proteins and fibre content and decreased the energy value. The level of ODAP and α- galactosides decreased significantly during tempeh preparation.
