I.1/ Overall chickpea nutritional composition
I.2/ Introduction & Objective of the study
• Several levers that build food quality all through value chain:
• Lever here: Soaking-cooking process • Aim: Control the nutritional value of chickpea during
soaking-cooking using a modelling approach

Water transport
Deformation (swelling)
Starch gelatinization =f(T°C, Water Content)
Vitamins B9 (transport & thermal degradation)
MECHANISTIC AND GENERIC APPROACH THAT CAN BE ADAPTED
TO ANY LEGUMES
Heat transfer
II.2/ Domestic and industrial issues
7
Rinsing or not
Soaking – Long time
(≥12h)
- Ambient T°C => sanitary risks - Loss of nutrients in soaking water
Cooking: - Long time (≥1h) - Thermal degradation of micronutrients

III/ Comparison between
predicted profiles and texture
• Folate content • α-galactosides
…
• Starch gelatinization
• Protein denaturation
• Size (8.4mm)
• Water, protein, starch contents
• Time • Temperature • WC ratio
