PRACTICAL WALKTHROUGH · PARAMETERS · COMMON MISTAKES
Chickpea protein production isolates globulins and albumins through wet extraction, enzymatic hydrolysis, fermentation, and extrusion to create functional plant-based ingredients.
Origin: Mediterranean and Middle Eastern peoples (Ancient to modern) — Mediterranean, Middle East, South Asia
See full technique reference →Wet extraction solubilizes proteins at 60–80 °C, followed by pH adjustment to precipitate them. Enzymatic hydrolysis at 50–60 °C generates peptides that improve solubility, while fermentation reduces antinutrients and imparts sour flavor. Extrusion at 150–200 °C denatures proteins, forming a fibrous texture suitable for meat analogues.
