Abstract
Riboflavin and total vitamin B6 content of some authentic varieties of four common Indian pulses viz. redgram, greengram, blackgram and Bengalgram were determined and the effect of cooking on the extent of losses were evaluated. The riboflavin content of the four pulses were essentially similar, while that of total vitamin B6 showed marked differences. Varietal differences in the riboflavin content were observed only in blackgram, while all four pulses showed marked variertal differences in vitamin B6 content. Varietal differences in cooking losses of both riboflavin and vitamin B6 were observed in all the four pulses. Between the four pulses, cooking losses showed differences in riboflavin content but not in vitamin B6 content. Bengalgram showed the highest loss in riboflavin which was nearly double that observed in redgram. Greengram and blackgram showed similar losses and were lower than in redgram. In general, the cooking losses appeared. not to be related either to content in raw dhal or to the time of cooking.
