Abstract

                                The aim of the study was to screen the sorghum varieties (TNAU released sorghum varieties viz., K 12, CO 30 and local variety) for popping. The physico - chemical characteristics of the raw and popped sorghum varieties were analysed. To optimize the pretreatment for the preparation of popped sorghum different soaking solutions were selected and studied their effect on popping. The sorghum grains were popped by using continuous popping machine at a temperature of 230 °C for 2.5 min. The popping characteristics were analysed for sorghum varieties pretreated with different soaking solutions. From the physico - chemical and popping characteristics, it was concluded that the K 12 variety showed the maximum values.

Key words : Sorghum, Physico - chemical characteristics, Soaking, Popping.

evident from the results that the impact of water deficit at reproductive stage was prominent in little millet compared to barnyard millet and finger millet. Barnyard millet recorded the highest grain yield (18.94 g plant-1) and straw yield (42.12 g plant-1) followed by finger millet (14.48 and 33.14 g plant-1). Little millet recorded the lowest grain yield (11.31 g plant-1) and straw yield (26.01g plant-1) under drought condition.
Key Words: Small millets, Yield parameters, Drought
