Abstract

<p align="justify">Horse gram (Dolichos biflorus) was processed and its effect on functional properties of flour was studied. Toasting (T), microwave cooking (MW) and germination (GR) treatments revealed that T and MW showed adverse effect on functional properties of flour (85% increase in water absorption, 47% decrease in flour solubility and 36-68% loss in foaming capacity) which resulted in poor dough characteristics and viscosity behaviour of slurry indicating unsuitability of these pretreatments for good product. GR did not alter the functional properties significantly and improved the product quality. A mixture of raw and T flour gave better quality papad while GR flour with 50% chickpea flour gave better boondi than the respective control horse gram sample.</p>
