Abstract
Traditional methods of processing food legumes such as decortication, boiling, roasting, frying, puffing, germinating, and fermenting are used in one form or the other in preparing legume products for consumption in different regions of the world. These processing methods contribute to improved product quality as well as nutritional quality. Extrusion cooking, textured vegetable product, quick-cooking products, weaning foods, and beverages are some of the technologies that have good potential in the improved utilization of cool season food legumes. There is also a growing trend to market legume products as value-added snack items. To expand the markets worldwide for these new products, it is necessary to provide products that are more attractive, convenient, and are nutritionally equal or superior to other established popular products in the market. Other less explored but potentially promising avenues include the use of components of legumes as therapeutics, in dairy industry, and as food preservatives. Leaf protein concentrate also offers scope for use as a protein source for livestock and humans, and in cell culture.
