The results showed that A. gracillimum seeds had no property of post-matu- ration dormancy; the optimum germination temperature was 25 ~C; no significant difference was found in germination rate of A. gracillimum seeds between light and dark conditions; A. gracillimum seeds showed a wide adaptability to pH, Le., they could germinate in the pH range of 2-10, and showed a higher germination rate in the pH range of 6-8. The optimum storage time for A. gracillimum seeds was 12 months.展开更多
Bengal gram on germination has high nutritive value in terms of protein, fibre and minerals yet it has very low shelf life at room temperature, hence to enhance the shelf life of germinated Bengal gram, a value added ...Bengal gram on germination has high nutritive value in terms of protein, fibre and minerals yet it has very low shelf life at room temperature, hence to enhance the shelf life of germinated Bengal gram, a value added product can be developed in the form of Pickle with vinegar, oil and salt as preservatives. To optimize the quantity of ingredients to be added, Response Surface Methodology was used. Statistical software Stat-Ease was used for statistical and graphical analysis of the experimental data. It was found that the sensory scores were 7.2, 8.4, 7.8 & 7.7 for color, flavor, texture and overall acceptability corresponding to optimum conditions.展开更多
