This document discusses modifying pulse flavors to increase their use in food applications. It describes how pulses have great nutritional benefits but strong flavors have limited their use in Western foods. Researchers developed a process to neutralize pulse flavors and identified a "nutty" flavor in mung beans. This led to the development of a new pulse ingredient with a neutral to nutty flavor that can be used in many food products as a substitute for peanuts. The ingredient is now commercially produced and exported, providing a solution for nut allergies while adding nutrition to foods.
