| Abstract: | A pilot plant for the production of cereal-legume based blend has been assembled and evaluated for technical performance and nutritional characteristics at the pilot plant complex of Food Research Institute. Material recovery and capacity of each unit were determined as well as chemical composition of the product in terms of protein, carbohydrate, fat, ash and moisture at each processing stage. The overall plant capacity was determined as 100 kg per hour and the material recovery as 79%. The product from the plant retained high protein and energy levels thus producing a product with 14.2% protein, 73.4% carbohydrate, 5.9% fat, 2.0% ash and 4.5% moisture |
