The present investigation was undertaken to explore the potentiality of maize and chickpea for the development of extruded products as there is an increasing consumer demand for more nutritious snacks. Maize and chickpea are good source protein and crude fiber. Maize and chickpea in different ratio (100:0, 95:5, 90:10, 85:15, 80:20, 75:25, 70:30, 65:35, 60:40) were blended in and subjected to extrusion by co-rotating twin screw extruder. On the basis on sensory evaluation 80:20 ratio blend of maize and chickpea was selected for further study. The selected products were stored for three months and evaluated for free fatty acid, moisture, hardness and sensory characteristics. With the progress in the storage period moisture and free fatty acid of snacks increased while hardness of snacks decreased with progress in storage. However, snacks were found acceptable at the end of three months.
