INTRODUCTION
• Flakes are ready to eat product.
• Flakes are actually the most popular breakfast food, which
are made up of toasting.
• Majorly flakes are prepared from corn only.
• Now research are focusing on pulses to make them as flakes.
• The major target for this research is to increase the pulses
consumption among the commodity.
Objective
Plan of work
• Selection of pulses: Green gram, Green peas, Chick peas
• Process parameters
Soaking to moisture content (25-35%);
Soaking time (2-4 hours)
T1 Soaking and boiling
T2 Soaking and steaming
T3Soaking and roasting
T4Soaking and boiling + roasting
T5Soaking and steaming + roasting
• Drying (50-60oC) to 14-15% m.c.
Methodology
• Pretreatment: Green pea and chick pea is soaked for 3
to 6 hours and Boiling or steaming is done.
• Forming into flakes: Roller gap set to two different
widths.
• Drying: Finally flaked pulses are dried in the cabinet tray
drier to make it crispy.
Work done - Trials
• The flakes are rich in fibre and low in fat and it is excellent for
managing cholesterol, digestive health and regulating energy levels.
• Pulse are also rich in folate, iron,calcium,magnesium,zinc and
potassium.
• They are high in complex carbohydrate and fibre, which means they
are slowly digested and give a feeling of satiety.
