Chickpeas are one of the most widely consumed pulses globally because their high protein content. The morphological features chickpea seeds, such as colour and texture, observable play a major role in classifying different varieties. This process is often carried out by human experts, time-consuming, inaccurate, expensive. objective study was to design an automated classifier using RGB-colour-i...

Through a survey approach in June 2020, this study intends to (1) determine the general description; (2) income; and (3) calculate relative advantages of urban farming chickpeas Nekaf Mese farmer group Benpasi Village, Kefamenanu City District, North Central Timor Regency. The research respondents were chosen from purposive sample 20 farmers who members groups. quantitative descriptive method w...

Understanding the effects of processing pulses is required for their effective incorporation into livestock feed. To determine impact processing, Canadian peas, lentils, chickpeas, and faba beans, plus soybean meal (SBM; as a comparison), were ground fine coarse products pelleted at three different temperatures (60–65, 70–75, 80–85 °C). Grinding increased crude protein content in all ( P < 0...

Summary This study was conducted to determine the effect that a popping head (like rice cake machine), low‐shear and low‐water processing technology, has on concentration of antinutritional factors in chickpeas red kidney beans. Seeds were popped under several parameters (popping time, sample format equipment type) analysed against soaking (1:5 w/v reverse osmosis water for 24 h), roasting (100...

Department of Biosystems Engineering, University of Kurdistan, Sanandaj, Iran Received: November 2nd, 2014; Revised: November 19th, 2014; Accepted: January 28th, 2015 Purpose: Slow manual harvesting of rain-fed chickpeas cultivated in fallow fields in developing countries have encouraged the design of a mechanical harvester. Methods: A tractor-pulled harvester was built, in which a modified str...

The effect of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) processing methods on the nutritive utilization of calcium and phosphorus and on phytic acid, a seed component that affects mineral utilization, was studied. Chemical and biological methods were used for nutritional determinations in growing rats. The digestive utilization of calcium from raw chickpea was adequate for growing rats; however, processing...

Development of a highly durable, fuel-tolerant, metal-free electro-catalyst for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is essential for robust and cost-effective Anion Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (AEMFCs). Herein, we report the development of a nitrogen-doped (N-doped) hierarchically porous carbon-based efficient ORR electrocatalyst from protein-rich pulses. The process involves 3D silica nanoparticl...
