Tertiary processed foods are commercially formulated foods designed for the ease of consumption. These foods are
mainly formulated using the refined flour which are lacking in one or more nutrients. Whole cereals and legumes found to possess
immense nutritional potentials which could complement one another if accurately processed and combined. Therefore, it is essential to
formulate composite blends and carry out scientific research to ascertain the nutritive adequacy of the cereal and legumes for possible
use as tertiary foods. The present study is therefore a part of an exploratory work towards this goal. The study emphasis on formulation
of tertiary processed foods with application of processing and drying methods using multicereals and legume combination. Successful
utilization of cereals and legumes with added functionality in snack food sector will definitely open up new dimensions to the food
industries.
