RGC-936 and RGC-1003. Results revealed that growth parameters, yield attributes, yield (1568 kg ha-1) and quality parameters viz. gum content (31.6 %), protein content (30.1 %) and viscosity (3783 cP) were highest with RGC-1003 sown at 15thNovember, which was at par with 1st December sowing with same variety. The study results showed that the clusterbean crop can be grown successfully in non-traditional area as a rabi crop.

Quality Evaluation of Vacuum Microwave‐Dried Immature Vegetable Soybean (Glycine Max [L.] Merr.)

AbstractThe main physiochemical indices related to evaluating the quality of vacuum microwave‐dried immature vegetable soybean were investigated by a combination of correlation analysis and principle component analysis (PCA). The results showed that in the 2.94–7.71% range, the moisture content of dried products was significantly related to L* and had a positive correlation with a* the rehydration ratio was significantly related to a* and had a positive correlation with b*, and L* was related to a* and had a positive correlation with total soluble solids (TSS). Six principal components could reflect most details with a cumulative contribution rate of 87.11%, where a*, rehydration ratio, TSS, yield, moisture content, hardness, fracturability and vitamin C content were the key factors. Through a comprehensive evaluation, Sudou No. 4, Sudou No. 8, Tongdou No. 5, Huaidou No. 8 and Xudou No. 17 were selected as the appropriate varieties for dry processing. The PCA model established was highly consistent with the results of sensory evaluation.Practical ApplicationsBeyond different drying methods, particular varieties have important impacts on the quality of dried products. This work evaluates the quality of different varieties of vacuum microwave‐dried immature vegetable soybean with principle component analysis, elucidates the main physiochemical factors affecting the quality of dried products and constructs the evaluation model. As a consequence, this work will provide information relevant to the selection of dried products for maintaining good soybean processing quality.

Yield and grain quality of winter wheat under Southern Steppe of Ukraine growing conditions

The results of three years study of the effect of sowing time and seed application rates on yield and grain quality of different varieties of winter wheat under the conditions of South Steppe of Ukraine were presented. It was found that winter wheat provides optimal combination of high yield and grain quality in case of sowing in October 10 with seed application rate of 5,0 million seeds/ha. The highest yield – 4,59 t/ha on average in 2011–2013 was obtained for the variety of Natalka when sowing in October 10 with seed application rate of 5 million germinable seeds. With increasing seed application rate from 3 to 5 million seeds/ha, protein content in winter wheat was decreased by 0,3%, gluten – by 0,6%. The variety Natalka formed the highest quality grains when sowing in October 20 with seed application rate of 3 million seeds/ha, in this case protein content was 15,8%, gluten – 32,9%. It is proved that early sowing time – September 10 leads to yields reduction and grain quality deterioration for all winter wheat varieties.

Effects of harvesting stages on yield and nutritional quality of African eggplant (<i>Solanum aethiopicum</i> L.) fruits

Objective : Farmers often harvest African eggplant ( Solanum Aethiopicum L.) fruits at different stages of fruit maturity. The influence of these harvesting practices on fruit productivity and nutritional quality is not known. This study was conducted to determine the effect of harvesting stages on yield and nutritional quality of African eggplant varieties. Methodology and results : The experiment was laid out in a split plot arrangement in a complete randomized block design with three replications. Three African eggplant varieties (Tengeru white, AB2 and Manyire green) and three harvesting stages (1, 2 and 3) were used as main plot factor and sub plot factor, respectively. Harvesting stage 1 (immature fruits) was characterized by fruits with non-shiny peel, harvesting stage 2 (mature fruits) was characterized by fruits with shinny peel and harvesting stage 3 (overmature fruits) was characterized by fruits with yellow coloration at the bottom. Fruit yield was assessed based on number and weight of fruits per plant while fruit nutritional quality was assessed in the laboratory based on carbohydrate, fibres, calcium, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, β-carotene and ascorbic acid contents. The collected data were subjected to analysis of variance using MSTATC statistical software. Treatments mean separation was conducted based on Student-Newman Keuls at P < 5 %. Results showed that yield in number of fruits per hectare decreased while yield in metric tons per hectare increased with fruit development stages. Varieties Tengeru white and AB2 had the highest yields based on metric tons at harvesting stage 2 while Manyire green had the highest yield at harvesting stage 3. Carbohydrate and fibre contents increased while ascorbic acid, β-carotene and most minerals decreased with fruit development stages. Conclusion and application of results : This study recommends harvesting immature fruits for high vitamin and mineral contents and delayed harvesting for the highest yield. As yield and nutritional quality trends vary with varieties, further studies are required to determine the effect of harvesting stages on yield and nutritional quality of different varieties of African eggplant. Keywords : Yield; Nutritional quality; Harvesting stages; Africa eggplant

Barley and Malt Proteins and Proteinases: III. A Simple Method for Estimating the Combined Actions of Malt Proteinases and the Extent of Protein Degradation during Malting

The activities of barley and malt proteinases have been measured using haemoglobin and the highly degradable barley protein fraction (HDBPF) in malting and feed barley varieties. In conjunction, the barley and malt total protein and its components: hordein, glutelin, soluble proteins and free amino nitrogen (FAN) as well as Kolbach index were investigated. The comparative analysis of results revealed that the general grain modification index of Kolbach (KI), which was higher in malting varieties, was much more strongly associated with the levels of hordein degraded during malting than any other parameter investigated. The KI levels were also correlated with the increase in the levels of FAN, but not with the increase in the levels of soluble protein or changes in the glutelin component. The changes in total proteinase activity were low and cannot account for the increase in KI or the degraded hordein. The levels of total proteinase activity in both feed and malting barley varieties were similar. The results suggest that estimation of the levels of degraded hordein, during malting, is a sensitive indicator of the total proteolytic action of proteinases as well as the degradability of the reserve proteins. Therefore, we recommend measuring the amounts of hordein degraded during malting for the assessment of the impacts of grain protein and proteinases on malting barley quality of different varieties, in addition to KI and FAN.
