The influence of sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP) and trisodium citrate (TSC) on the cookability of split cotyledons (dhal) of pigeon pea was studied. The former was found to be more effective in reducing the cooking time than the latter chemical when added to the cooking water at (85 f 1)"C at 2 % l

Abstract
Physical and chemical properties of ten varieties of Cajanus cajan seeds which influence cooking quality were investigated. The varieties were different in seed coat thickness, water imbibition, softness of seed on cooking and levels of calcium and magnesium ions. The differences in lipid contents were not significant (P = 0.05).
There were correlations between softness of seed on cooking and pectin (r = 0.9), phytin (r = 0.8), calcium (r = β0.7), epiderma. thickness (r = β0.7) and water imbibition (r = 0.6). Of all the varieties, Icrisat 7035 and Hybβ3βc have the best cooking quality while Npwr 15 has the poorest.

Field peas (Pisum sativum), an important pulse crop in Australia, are consumed as human food either as whole seeds or as splits after decortication. The yield of splits is an important economic factor for processors and the cooking quality is important for consumers. E β ects of genotype, other physi
