Abstract

The potential use of Bengal bean and velvet bean (Mucuna cochinchinensis and M. pruriens (var. 1RZ), respectively) as protein sources for use in high protein biscuits is reported. Mucuna spp. seed flour (meal) was used to replace 15% of wheat flour in the biscuit recipe. Inclusion of either bean meal increased biscuit protein content from 7.36 to 10.0-11.29 g/100 g DM. Although there were no significant differences in sensory properties between the 2 meal-containing biscuits, they differed significantly from the wheat (control) biscuits. Overall acceptability of the bean meal-fortified biscuits was appreciable (60.75-62.00 units), but inferior to that of the control (71.67 units) due to slight off-flavour and deviation in colour. Levels of L-DOPA in the biscuits were low (0.060-0.063 g/100 g DM).
