| Abstract:
The promising cultivars such as ‘Phule Safed’, ‘Phule Suvarna’, ‘N-2-4-1’ and ‘Baswant-780’ were used for processing into dehydrated flakes. The data revealed that the moisture content of freshly prepared dehydrated flakes was observed within the range of 5.00 to 5.20%, which furthermore increased during one month storage (5.40 to 5.90%) at ambient temperature. The highest dehydration ratio was found in ‘Phule Suvarna’ (1.35) followed by ‘Phule Safed’ (1.30), ‘N-2-4-1’ (1.25) and ‘Baswant-780’ (1.10). The flakes prepared from ‘Phule Suvarna’ recorded the highest total sugar (55.70%) followed by ‘Phule Safed’ (53.63%) initially, where as the lowest total sugars were noticed in ‘N-2-4-1’ (48.57%). The highest organoleptic score for colour flavor, crispness and general acceptability was recorded in ‘Phule Suvarna’ initially and even at one month storage. | |
