Abstract
A food product precursor comprising 10-55% by dry-weight lupin flour, other milled grain flour, and 3-10% by wet-weight flavoured liquid. The food product precursor is made into a food product by combining the ingredients to form the food product precursor, cooking the combined food product precursor; and extruding the cooked precursor.
Claims28
An extruded food product precursor, that is ready for extrusion, comprising 10-55% by dry-weight lupin flour, other milled grain flour, and 3-10% by wet-weight liquid, wherein the food product precursor is suitable for extrusion so as to form an expanded, extruded food product, and wherein the majority of protein in the food product precursor is in the flours.
An extruded food product precursor, that is ready for extrusion, comprising:
- a mixture of flours in which 10-55% by dry-weight is de-hulled lupin flour, a sweetener and a fruit juice concentrate, wherein the precursor has a moisture content of between 3-10% by weight and is suitable for extrusion so as to form the expanded, extruded food product, wherein the food product precursor comprises fats of 3-7% by weight.
A method of making a food product comprising:
- combining ingredients to form a food product precursor, wherein the ingredients comprise 10-55% by dry-weight lupin flour, one or more of buckwheat flour, rice flour, and corn flour, wherein the majority of protein in the combined ingredients is in the flours,
- adding 3-10% liquid by wet-weight;
- cooking the combined food product precursor;
- extruding the cooked precursor so as to form an expanded, extruded food product.
26-31. (canceled)
An expanded, extruded food product comprising 10-55% by weight lupin flour cooked with one or more of buckwheat flour, rice flour and corn flour, and 3-10% by weight flavoured liquid;
- and wherein the food product comprises:
- protein 15-35% by weight, carbohydrates 40-65% by weight and dietary fibre 5-20% by weight, wherein the majority of protein in the food product precursor is in the flours;
- wherein the food product has been formed by extrusion and the food product expanded following extrusion.
