Potential of cowpea (Vigna catjung) for papad making was studied with
respect to the effects of levels of water, carbonate and salt on the q
uality of papad. For obtaining a quality product, the requirement in p
arts for water, salt and carbonate were 45, 6.5 and 1.5, respectively,
for every 100 parts of cowpea flour. Cowpea papads showed excellent q
uality upto a storage period of 4 months.
