ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A process is described herein for agglomerating and deodorizing pea flours, pea protein concentrates, or admixtures of pea flours or pea protein concentrates with other foodstuffs, said admixtures containing at least 25% by weight of said pea flours or pea protein concentrates, which process comprises: (a) charging said pea flours. pea protein concentrates, or said admixtures to a treatment chamber (b) agitating said charge while spraying same with water or suitable aqueous solutions or emulsions in the amount of about 5% to about 30% by weight of the dry charge, thereby to form bead-like agglomerates having about 12% to about 30% by weight of moisture; (c) heating the agglomerated flours, concentrates or admixtures to a temperature in the range of 185°-200°F., thereby to remove pea-like flavor and bitterness from the material: and (d) drying said agglomerated flours, concentrates or admixtures at a temperature in the range of 100°-130°F. Desirably, step (d) of this process is carried out for a time ranging from about 20 to about 40 minutes. The process produces a bland flavored, light-colored, free-flowing, bead-like agglomeration: pea flours, pea protein concentrates or of mixtures ??????? with other foodstuffs, and having a relatively high bulk density, e.g. up to 3 times greater than that of raw pea protein concentrate. The products of this invention can be readily incorporated into food mixtures such as bread, cookie or pasta doughs, and the food mixtures containing such products can be readily handled in conventional equipment. Foods containing such products are quite palatable, being free from pea-like flavour and bitterness; and provide a good source of protein.
