The process includes mixing legumes with an aqueous solvent and processing aids to form a legume solution. The legumes are in the legume solution are then allowed to hydrate. An aqueous solution oligosaccharides, polysaccharides, or combinations thereof is them extracted from the legume solution. The legume solution is mixed with a cereal flour to form a dough mixture. The dough mixture is then cooked and shaped.Field of SearchLegumeBean, seed or nut product Extraction utilizing liquid as extracting medium Liquid is aqueous Cereal or treated cereal material Preparation of product which is dry in final form Of cereal dough or cooked cereal dough Cereal material, e.g., flour, meal, bran, etc. With size reduction, e.g., mashing, cutting, etc. Including heating or dehydration Of isolated whole seed or bean material Cooking, blanching or gelatinizing Extruding through restricted orifice to give desired final shape Forming rod, strand, sheet, or filament With cutting, or mechanically subdividing solid material, e.g., slicing, comminuting, slitting, etc. STOCK PRESSURIZING MEANS OPERABLY ASSOCIATED WITH DOWNSTREAM SHAPING ORIFICE WITH FORAMINOUS OR ABSORBENT MEANS FOR REMOVAL OF VEHICLE OR COMPONENT IN LIQUID FORM DURING OR AFTER SHAPING Vacuum means | |
