Abstract

The (i) cooking time, (ii) water uptake, (iii) dispersed solids into cooking water and (iv) contents of minerals, (v) protein and (vi) PCMP [ (a) Pectin (Ca+1/2 Mg)/Phytin or (b) Pectin + (Ca+1/2 Mg)-Phytin] numbers were determined for 10 var. of pure bred pearled tur (Cajanus cajan). The hydration and the dispersed solids during progressive cooking (0-80 min) of 4 var. of polished (15%) and unpolished tur were also determined. Variations observed in the values (range) for (i) 32-68 min; (ii) 0.52-1.50 g/g; (iii) 47.8-82.4%; (v) 18.5-22.0%; and (vi) (a) 0.81-3.60 and (vi) (b) 3.42-7.10. High correlation was observed between (i) and the Ca, Mg, pectin, phytin and (vi) (a) and (b). Dispersed solids % and hydration were always higher for polished grains than for whole grains.
