Effect of thermoplastic extrusion on lysine availability of chickpea (Cicer arietinum, L.) flour. The aim of this research was to evaluate lysine availability of chickpea (Cicer arietinum, L.) flour submitted to therrnoplastic extrusion at three feed moisture levels (13%,18% and 27%). It was verified that extrusion treatments reduced available lysine by 58% and 55% at 13% and 18% feed moisture levels. The major lysine loss, 71 %, was verified at 27% feed moisture level.

Keywords : Chickpea; thermoplastic extrusion; lysine availability.
