Abstract Sorghum, barley and horse-gram are excellent source of bioactives (phenolics, minerals, β-glucan) with documented health effects. Effect of four different extrusion variables, viz. high temperature, high moisture (HTHM, 120oC, 20%); high temperature, low moisture (HTLM, 120oC, 14%); low temperature, high moisture (LTHM, 100oC, 20%); and low temperature and low moisture (LTLM, 100oC,14%) on three composite blends from sorghum, barley and horsegram was examined in the present study. Extrusion processing significantly (p
