Abstract
Snack is anything consumed between main meals and tends to be energy-dense but nutrient poor. On the other hand, chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is a legume that were valued for their nutritional content and health benefits. Due to its versatility, it can be used as an additive in chips making. This study aims to develop chickpea chips. Standardizing the formulation was done before the processing and formulation of chips. Results revealed that in terms of sensory qualities, treatment 3 (40% chickpea powder) yielded the best results in the ranking test with a sum of 107, and is more preferred chips in preference test. In Acceptability test, it showed that the different attributes of chickpea chips were Like Extremely. For the descriptive test, the chips were revealed to be dark orange, very crispy, and moderate to strong flavor. For its physicochemical properties, 3.10 g moisture content, 1.66 g ash, 26.01 fat, 5.40 of protein, 63.83 g carbohydrates, 400 mg sodium, and 2.30% free fatty acids. Also, its water activity is 0.21. Lastly, in terms of microbiological properties, the chips passed the standards for FDA Circular No.012 s.2022. These findings highlight that chickpea can be an additive in chips making and can be a source of healthier snacks. Chickpea beans should be used as raw materials in innovating healthy and convenient products.
