Effect of Location on the Composition of Wheat andAcceptability of Traditional Products

Chandramati J., J. Rokhade, Meera Rao

Abstract


The Physical characteristics, proximate composition, mineral content, quality characteristics and sensory evaluation of traditional products like Savate beeja, Avare huvu and Gulagi of the variety DWR - 162 grown in different locations was studied with a view to find out the effect of location on the above said parameters. The study revealed that the sample from Dharwad location were bold and had significantly highest 1000-kernel weight. Significant difference was observed between the locations for protein, fat, ash, crude fibre, total carbohydrate, calcium, iron, wet and dry gluten content and sedimentation value.  The panel members found the difference in the sensory evaluation of traditional products for their desirable characteristics but statistically non-significant difference was found between their desirable characteristics.  The variety from Arabhavi location was found to be rich in nutrient composition and had highest acceptability for traditional products followed by Ugar and Dharwad locations.
