Abstract

ABSTRACTThe uniaxial compression characteristics of papad dough (moisture content 62%, dry basis), made from blackgram flour as well as after incorporation of different types of cereal (rice, sorghum and wheat) flours at different levels (20 and 40%), were determined. The stress‐strain data can be interrelated by a power law type equation. The sensory attributes (stickiness, firmness, elasticity and ease of flattening/rolling) were correlated with the energy for compression, deformability modulus and apparent biaxial elongational viscosity. Inelastic doughs resulted from the blackgram dough; doughs with 20% rice or wheat blends were also inelastic but sorghum samples were elastic. The deformability modulus for sorghum doughs were extremely high. The blackgram dough as well as the wheat blended doughs were the easiest doughs to roll/flatten. Blended dough consisting of wheat flour (at 20 and 40% level) or rice flour up to 20% level was suitable for making cereal‐blended papad doughs.
