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

• Standardization of process parameters for flakes from selected pulses.

• Analysis of physical, nutritional and sensory characteristics of flakes.

• Analysis of moisture content and microbial load during storage.


Standardization of flakes from selected pulses

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

• Soaking of pulses for 3 hours and flaking


• Soaking of pulses for 3 hours , shade drying (2 hr.) &flaking
• Soaking of pulses for 3 hours, steaming, drying and flaking
• Soaking of pulses for 3 hours, roasting and flaking.
Treatments

Treatment 1 Soaking + boiling


Treatment 2 Soaking+ steaming
Treatment 3 Soaking + roasting
Treatment 4 Soaking + boiling +
roasting
Treatment 5 Soaking + steaming +
roasting
• Standardization of pulses has done.
• The flavor of raw pulses was more in soaked and flaked pulses and
different trials had performed to reduce the raw flavor of pulses.
• And the physical, nutritional, and sensory characteristics has to be
analysed for the pulse flakes.
• Moisture content and Microbial during storage (3 months) of pulse
flakes has to be studied.
Outcome

• 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.
