High protein and low-fat chips (snack) made out of a legume mixture [Botana alta en proteína y baja en grasa elaborada a partir de una mezcla de leguminosas]

Snacks tend to be unhealthy products, so it is important to develop more nutritious alternatives. For this reason, the aim of this research was to develop legume chips for use as a snack food and evaluate their nutritional properties and sensory characteristics. Common bean, broad bean, and textured soy bean flour mixtures at different ratios were used as ingredients in the chips. The formulation most accepted by the consumers was made of 65%25 of broad bean and 35%25 of soy bean. This formulation had the highest level of protein 34.17 g/100g, with 11.53 g/100 g of fiber, and 3.52 g/100 g of lipids. 65/35 BB/S (broad bean/soy bean) was the product with greater protein digestibility 72 g/100 g. The results show that it is feasible to develop a legume snack without the use of cereals that is pleasant to the senses, offering nutritional alternatives and natural potential functional food. © 2019, © 2019 The Author(s).
