The effect of processing on the total dietary fibre (TDF) insoluble (IDF) and water-soluble (SDF) fractions as well as total (TS), available (AS) and resistant (RS) starch were studied in three legumes, viz. bengalgram (Cicer urietinum L.), Cowpea (Vignu Lcnguiculata) and greengram (Vigna rudiata).

Abstract
The effect of processing treatments on the rate of starch digestibility in three legumes, viz., bengal gram (Cicer arietinum L.), cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) and green gram (Vigna radiata) was studied using an in vitro dialysis system. The processes studied were fermentation, germination, pressure cooking and roasting. The released sugars measured as glucose equivalents after 3 h digestion were expressed as digestibility index (DI). All the processing treatments except roasting, increased the rate of starch digestibility in all the three legumes. Subsequent cooking of the germinated/fermented legumes lead to a further increase in starch digestibility. The results of the study indicate that ‘slow release’ property of legumes is heat labile and that loss of this property is independent of macro‐nutrient and starch content.

The content of digestible starch (DS) and resistant starch (RS) in processed potatoes was assessed. In addition, the effect of domestic cooking on the in vitro digestibility of starch in this tuber, which may influence the glycaemic response, was studied.

The effects of optimum conditions of frying soybean, broad bean and Polish pea on proximate analysis and amino acid composition were investigated. Maximum water absorption of 192.93, 129.05 and 148.68% for soybean, broad bean and Polish pea was reached after soaking periods of 16.41, 17.84 and 16.45
The effect of malting and blanching on the in vitro protein and starch digestibility of pearl millet (Pennisetum gluacum L.) were investigated. Pearl millet seeds were subjected to malting [steeping (16 h), germination (48 and 72 h) and kilning (24 h at 50 degrees C)] and blanching (30 s at 98 degre
