This method significantly boosts the functionality of chickpea protein, establishing it as an ideal ingredient for plant-based alternatives and gluten-free foods. Through the effective elimination of compounds that cause off-flavors and the removal of undesirable colors, this process expands the potential uses of chickpea flour in diverse food and beverage products. Consequently, manufacturers can develop more appealing and versatile formulations, ultimately satisfying the increasing consumer demand for high-quality, plant-based choices.
