✦ Synopsis
Heat treatment is particularly important in the preparation of mung bean for consumption, from the point of view not only of acceptability but also of improvement on protein digestibility. Sensory evaluation of cooked mung bean in terms of taste, colour, aroma and texture has an organoleptic panel indicated that there was no signi®cant difference (P `0.05) between mung bean cooked for 25, 30, 35, 40 and 45 min. An in vitro protein digestibility assay was used to examine the effect of cooking time on protein digestibility. The applied non-linear mathematical model indicated a high correlation coef®cient between experimental and predicted data (R 2 ! 0.999). A maximum improvement in in vitro protein digestibility (IVPD) of 4.83% was obtained by cooking for 38.6 min. No remarkable changes in most amino acids were found between raw and cooked samples except that tryptophan was decreased by 4.69% and a 10.29% loss of threonine occurred with the optimum cooking time.
