Disclosed are specialized flour for nutrition meals for diabetes and a preparation method and use thereof. The flour is based on cereal meal as a basic material and is added to a defatted soybean vegetable protein powder and a soybean tissue isolated dietary fiber power, wherein in the dry flour base, the content of protein is 20-26 weight %, the content of the dietary fiber is 4-10 weight %, the content of carbohydrate is no more than 65 weight %, and the content of fat is no more than 4% of the weight. The method comprises physically mixing the cereal meal, the defatted soybean vegetable protein powder and the soybean tissue isolated dietary fiber power under atmospheric pressure. Food and semi-finished products made from the flour are used for preventing and/or treating diabetes.

A dry powder including an edible part and an inedible part of immature pulses is provided. The dry powder has a proportion of the inedible part to the edible part of immature pulses from 1 mass % to 200 mass % by dry mass, a moisture content of 20 mass % or less, brightness in a Munsell color system of 7 or more, chroma in the Munsell color system of 3 or more, and hue in the Munsell color system from 5Y to 10Y or from 0GY to 10GY. The dry powder also has a specific surface area per unit volume of dry powder particles before ultrasonication of 0.05 m.sup.2/mL or more, a standard deviation of particle size distribution of dry powder particles before ultrasonication of 200 μm or less, and a number average diameter of dry powder particles after ultrasonication of less than 30 μm.

Cereal grain is pretreated before milling, by selectively removing a first fraction of husk components of the cereal, wherein the first fraction includes the outer husk components of the dampened cereal, and wherein 0.2 to 2% by weight of the cereal is removed, then dampening and conditioning the cereal, then selectively removing a second fraction of husk components of the cereal, wherein the second fraction substantially contains dietary fibers of the dampened cereal. The method makes it possible to efficiently obtain contamination-free total dietary fibers. An apparatus for carrying out the method, and advantageous uses of the total dietary fibers are also described.
