Özet

BACKGROUND Chickpea is a rich source of proteins with well-balanced amino acids, dietary fibers, vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals. In the present study, immature, mature, germinated, fermented and black chickpea flours at a 20% ratio were used in breadmaking to reduce the glycemic index and enhance nutritive value. The effects of chickpea flours on the physical, chemical and textural characteristics, as well as the antioxidant properties and in vitro glycemic index of bread were compared. RESULTS Compared to the control (100% wheat bread), the inclusion of chickpea flours at a 20% ratio generally showed greater ash, fat and protein contents in bread. The use of immature, germinated and fermented chickpea flours in bread elicited a lower phytic acid concentration than that of bread containing mature and black chickpea flours. On the other hand, the inclusion of immature and germinated chickpea flours presented the highest total phenolic content in bread. Moreover, in vitro glycemic index values of loaves made with chickpea flours were markedly lower (at least 11%) compared to the control. The specific volume values of bread samples formulated with chickpea flours (except for fermented chickpea flour) were similar (P > 0.05) to each other. Bread samples containing immature and germinated chickpea flours exhibited lower hardness and chewiness than those of other samples containing chickpea flours. CONCLUSION The findings showed that immature, germinated and black chickpea flours are a good alternative to mature chickpea flour with respect to producing healthy bread.
