METHOD TO INCREASE ADDED VALUE TO LEGUMES AND CEREALS AND OBTAIN FOODS THAT CAN COUNTERACT MALNUTRITION

Abstract

The invention relates to a food supplement and its production method, which is primarily made from a mixture of chickpea and chia flours, skimmed milk, vitamins, and minerals to help combat malnutrition. In the main embodiment, the production method includes the following steps: extrusion of the product components, grinding to 60 mesh, mixing the product components, adding sodium bicarbonate and salt, achieving a product moisture content of 20 to 24%, forming product pellets in the extruder, reducing the product moisture content to 10%, cooling and grinding, and packaging.In one embodiment of the present invention, the process of obtaining extruded flours from high nutritional value extruded legumes is characterized in that once the correct operation of the extruder screws has been verified, the feeder of said extruder is turned on, inside which heat will be induced and moisture will be increased by the direct addition of water vapor.
