Benefits of PulsesHigh in protein, non digestible starches and fiber. Amino acid profileContain important: 

• Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids • Minerals • Vitamins

Health beneficial bioactive components such as • Fiber • Bioactives proteins and peptides, phenolic metabolites• Low GI ingredient

Limitations of Pulses• Antinutrients

• Lectins• Trypsin inhibitors • High Phytic acid • Polyphenols

• Oligosaccharides• Beany flavours• Long soaking and cooking times. • Hard to cook phenomenon

Future opportunitiesExpansion of Functional Nutrition Products• High protein foods• Protein modification ingredient, • Functional proteins • High fibre foods • Gluten free foods • Meat free foods/ Vegan • Low GI foods 

Functional proteins• Improve pulse protein physicochemical functionality to compete with soy protein as a texturized protein.

• Nutraceuticals e.g. protein hydrolysates,

Pulse Processing Challenges • Image Poor mans food vs Superfood• Culture niche ‐> staple• Limited choice of affordable specialised ingredients • Different physicochemical properties to wheat and corn, • Limited technological information on pulse functionalities • Application of pulses to existing processing equipment• Education pulse processing properties• Optimisation of technology• Processing cost effectiveness: less waste + more value• Improve nutritional benefits• Minimise anti nutritional and beany flavors.

Future work

• Lab scale cooking and evaluation of properties: glass transition, gelatinisation.

• Cooking of pulses with pilot scale pressure cookers and kiln cookers. 

• Pilot scale flaking of pulses for inclusion in breakfast cereals as whole food or quick cook ingredient. 

• Blending of pulses for extrusion. • What happens to nutrients and anti nutrients in these 

processes?
