Abstract
A study was conducted to investigate the effect of moisture content, i.e., 10, 15, 20 and 25 (%, d.b.) on dehulling efficiency and dal recovery of pigeonpea. The milling of pretreated pigeonpea was done on abrasive dehuller and CIAE dal mill. The milling products were fractionated into unhusked whole grain, dehusked whole grain, unhusked dal, dehusked dal, broken and powder. The results were analyzed to find out the best level of moisture content for obtaining maximum percentage of finished product, dal recovery and highest hulling efficiency. The maximum dal recovery and hulling efficiency were obtained at 10% moisture content of pigeonpea grain and milled by using abrasive dehuller.
