Abstract

Xylanase, pectinase and cellulose pre-treatments were used to evaluate the milling properties of pigeon pea grains. Efforts were made to evaluate the suitability of enzyme treatment for milling of pigeon pea with different concentrations (35 mg/100 g dm to 55 mg/100 g dm), incubation temperatures (35 to 55OC) and incubation periods (4 to 12 h). The application of cellulase, xylanase and pectinase, was found to be effective in improving the milling properties of pigeon pea grains with increased dal recovery. Enzyme treatments were found to have no adverse effect on cooking properties of pigeon pea grains. The dal recovery and milling efficiency at optimized independent parameters were 76.60 and 96.19%, respectively.
