Rs. Waldia et al., ASSOCIATION AND VARIATION AMONG COOKING QUALITY TRAITS IN KABULI CHICKPEA (CICER-ARIETINUM L), Journal of Food Science and Technology, 33(5), 1996, pp. 397-402
One hundred and ten Kabuli chickpea genotypes were studied for physica
l and gravimetric properties to judge their role in cooking quality. S
eed index, seed volume, seed density, swelling capacity and seed coat
content were found to be important attributes, affecting cooking quali
ty to a greater extent The genotypes 'FLIP 88-36C','FLIP 88-39C','FLIP
90-127C', 'HK 91-23', 'HK 92-98', 'KH 92-96' and 'HK 92-100' were fou
nd to be better and could be used in breeding programme to select desi
rable segregants for cooking quality.
