Starch-Dominated, Matrix-Modulated Gelation and Structural Recovery in Air-Classified Protein-Rich and Starch-Rich Chickpea Fractions

Abstract Air classification of milled pulse flours yields protein-rich fine and starch-rich coarse fractions, yet both are composite matrices where starch, protein, and fiber govern functionality. Desi (DCP) and kabuli (KCP) chickpeas were jet-milled at two rotor speeds, air-clas...
