Development of High Fibre Okara-Wheat Bran Cereal Flakes

Abstract

Okara is a by-product of soymilk processing, presenting a significant opportunity to enhance the nutritional profile of cereal products, specifically wheat bran flakes, through its high fibre content and other components. Despite of its high concentration of dietary fibre, proteins, lipids and bioactive components including antioxidants, okara is frequently underutilized and discarded. This study focuses on development of breakfast cereal with incorporation of different percentages of okara.
