Effect of Germination and Subsequent Fermentation Period on the Functional, Color, and Antinutrients of Pigeon Pea (<i>Cajanus cajan</i>) Flour and Its Structural Parts. [PDF]
This study investigates the impact of germination and fermentation periods (24, 48, and 72 h) on the quality attributes of pigeon pea flour and its structural parts. Germination and fermentation of pigeon pea possess good properties that are suitable for inclusion in gluten‐free, as well as in the development of ready‐to‐use food formulations.
