Description
The project aims to investigate the health properties of novel plant-based snacks, produced by extrusion technology using pea starch, pea protein and oat fiber.
These novel plant-based snacks may play an important role to a healthy vegetarian diet that needs a balanced amino acid composition and enough micronutrients such as iodine, zinc selenium and vitamin B12.
In the scope of FoodProFuture project Nr 267858 (WP3-Processing Technologies and Model Foods, coordinated by NOFIMA), one of the aims is to incorporate plant protein-rich fractions into model food products using extrusion cooking.
The
