Abstract :

The effects of cold plasma treatment on soaking and cooking properties of chickpea (Cicerarietinum L.), Kripa (Kabuli type) cultivar were studied. The plasma treatment was given with the varying voltage from 40 V, 50 V and 60 V and the exposure time of the grains to the plasma treatment at each voltage was maintained for 10 minutes, 15 minutes and 20 minutes. Plasma treated and control chickpea samples were compared for soaking and cooking properties. The samples were soaked in the distilled water and 1% sodium bicarbonate solution for 8 hours. After soaking the samples were cooked by pressure cooking. Plasma treated and control un-soaked samples were compered for cooking properties with the soaked and then cooked samples. The control chickpea samples absorbed less moisture in distilled water as compared to 1% sodium bicarbonate solution. The control samples cooked without soaking taken longest time for cooking as compared to cooking after soaking in distilled water and 1% sodium bicarbonate solution.Among cold plasma treated samples highest moisture absorption in distilled water and in 1% sodium bicarbonate soaking was observed in sample treated with 60 V, and exposure time 20 minutes. Lowest moisture absorption in distilled water and 1% sodium bicarbonate was observed in sample treated with 40 V, and exposure time 10 minutes. The least cooking time and more moisture absorption was observed in samples treated with 60 V, and exposure time 20 minutes in un-soaked cooking as well as cooking after soaking in distilled water and 1% sodium bicarbonate.The more cooking time and less moisture absorption in un-soaked cooking and cooking after soaking in distilled water and in 1% sodium bicarbonate was observed in sample treated with 40 V, and exposure time 10 minutes.
