Studies on the starches of ragi and red<br />
gram. J. Fd S c l . Technol. 13(1):<br />
9-10. 308<br />
Starches Isolated from r a g l and red gram<br />
had Iodine a f f i n i t y of 3.08 and 3.13%<br />
respectively. The g e l a t i n i z a t i o n temperatures<br />
ranged from 56 to 72°C; when tested<br />
in an amylograph, both these starches were<br />
found to be stable to heat up to 90°C.<br />

Gamma-irradiation of pulses reduced t h e i r<br />
cooking time by varying degrees (8.39%<br />
reduction w i t h 1 Mrad), as measured by a<br />
texture-meter. I n i t i a l l y high hydration<br />
rate on soaking and cooking s t a b i l i z e d<br />
during prolonged cooking and resulted in<br />
better and more uniform texture in i r r a <br />
diated red gram. Better vitamin B retent<br />
i o n observed in i r r a d i a t e d cooked red<br />
gram, is a t t r i b u t e d to the reduced cooking<br />
time.<br />

Effect of gamma radiation on physicochemical<br />
characteristics of red gram<br />

The t o t a l reducing sugars of i r r a d i a t e d<br />
pulse showed no s i g n i f i c a n t increase over<br />
the c o n t r o l . This suggests that the<br />
breakdown of starch in red gram was probably<br />
l i m i t e d to higher maltodextrins.<br />
Though the quantity of t o t a l nonreducing<br />
sugars was not affected by i r r a d i a t i o n ,<br />
cooking s i g n i f i c a n t l y decreased raffinose<br />
and stachyose contents. Degradation of<br />
red gram starch has also been observed in<br />
terms of a decrease in g e l a t i n i z a t i o n<br />
v i s c o s i t y and an increase in s o l u b i l i t y<br />
on heating.<br />

No changes in the t o t a l or neutral l i p i d<br />
composition were observed in red gram<br />
i r r a d i a t e d at 1 Mrad dose l e v e l s . Similarl<br />
y , saturated and unsaturated f a t t y acids<br />
were not affected by radiation treatment.<br />
Radiation prevented development of r a n c i <br />
d i t y and o f f - f l a v o r s during storage for<br />
8 months. Prevention of oxidation under<br />
such conditions can be a t t r i b u t e d to the<br />
synergistic e f f e c t of phospholipids in the<br />
presence of tocopherols as w e l l as to low<br />
moisture content. However, polar l i p i d s<br />
seemed to undergo decomposition on<br />
