Abstract

The study investigated the combined effects of different processing methods of pigeon pea on the functional and pasting properties. Soaked pigeon pea seeds (control) were subjected to sprouting, boiling, fermentation and combinations of these operations and the seeds were dried and milled into flour. The functional and pasting properties of the flour samples were analyzed using standard methods. The result of the functional properties showed that combined sprouting/fermentation reduced bulk density (0.647 – 0.599g/cm³), increased water absorption capacity (1.683 – 1.803%), increased oil absorption capacity (1.623 – 1.634%), increased swelling capacity (2.077 -2.1625) and decreased foam capacity (13.213 – 12.232%). The pasting results recorded low values for sprouted and combined processes and high values for fermented processes in peak viscosity, trough viscosity, pasting temperature and peak time.
