Breads with legume flours showed good physico-chemical
characteristics and an adequate sensory profile. Carob germ flour
generated batters with good rheological properties, however, its
breads generally presented poor characteristics. Chickpea flour and
pea isolate breads obtained good results in all parameters studied
indicating that these ingredients could be a promising alternative
to soya flour. Further studies should be done combining protein
sources to optimize gluten-free legume formulations, integrating
the good baking characteristics and sensory profile provided by
chickpea and soya flours.
