Good afternoon, I worked in INTI (Instituto Nacional de Tecnology Industrial) fromn Argentina y Thermal Processing Food, specially in meat products,
Now , Iam interested in hummus procedures and HACCP plans because we have been consulted about this topic.
Thank you very much.

Hi Estela! Welcome to IFSQN. I joined a couple months ago and have found the forums extremely helpful! I have some previous experience in the Hummus industry so I'd be happy to assist where I can.

You can help me!
I love Hummus or Houmous whichever term you use.
My recipe involves using dried chickpeas and includes:
Chickpeas (dried, rehydrated & cooked)
Garlic
Salt
Olive oil
Lime juice (Lemon juice if available)
Paprika
Sesame seeds (fried)
Sesame oil
It always seems a bit dry which I'm assuming is related to using rehydrated Chickpeas? and a little bit bitter which seems to originate from the Sesame seeds? Perhaps you guys can offer me some tips?
Kind regards,
Tony

Hi Tony!
Hm, in regards to the cooking steps there are only a few things that I can think of that my impact that... if you drain and pat dry, skip the second step or after draining, cover them while they cool to retain the extra moisture.
As long as you are rehydrating the chickpeas fully you shouldn't have an issue, but if you've tried making the snack using canned beans and noticed a difference then perhaps the beans do need a little extra time. It still boggles me how I struggle to rehydrate beans at home but saw it so effortlessly done in the industry.
Also, have you tried using tahini in place of the sesame oil and the sesame seeds?

Oops - I also forgot to comment that yes, you likely are observing bitterness from the sesame seeds and you will find that tahini usually retains those bitter notes as well. If you decide to make your own tahini, which kind of sounds like you are doing there are recommendations to use hulled sesame seed as unhulled seeds are likely to result in more bitterness.

That is correct I'm making it all from raw ingredients. The Chickpeas are rehydrated and then cooked in a pressure cooker, the Sesame seeds are hulled and fried. My recipe isn't bad but I do get a slight dry and bitter note as I said previously. I can use Tahini but my desire is to make my own whole recipe. What in addition to my recipe is included in Tahini? Sugar?
Kind regards,
Tony

the Ziyad brand of tahini that I use only lists "Mechanically Hulled Sesame Seeds" on the ingredient deck.
