Abstract

An expanded food product was obtained from lentil-corn flour mixture by extrusion cooking. The lentil flour addition was maintained at 10%, 30% and 50% mixed with cereal or (corn) flour which was maintained at 50%, 70% and 90%. Operating conditions were cooking temperature; blend ratio and moisture contents of the feed mixture. Physicochemical properties of the extruded product were investigated.
