Processing Pulses and Oilseeds provides a comprehensive guide to the milling processes and technologies involved in the preparation of pulses and oilseeds, which are critical components of diets in many underdeveloped and developing countries. The book delves into the dehulling process, focusing on minimizing losses such as powder and broken grains while ensuring the efficient removal of hulls.
Key topics include the physical and mechanical properties of various pulses, the role of binding gums between hulls and cotyledons, and the efficacy of pretreatment methods like soaking, edible oils, chemicals, enzymes, and hydrothermal techniques. The book also examines factors influencing dehulling efficiency, including grain size, shape, hardness, and moisture content. Additionally, performance evaluation methods for dehulling systems are discussed in detail.
This resource is ideal for professionals, researchers, and students interested in the technological advancements and practical aspects of pulse and oilseed processing.
