Notes:
Physicochemical and sensory characteristics of cowpea papads were determined and compared with the blackgram papads. Dough making, rolling properties and physical appearance were similar in both the papads. Cowpea papads were rated to be highly acceptable by both trained and untrained panels. Proximate composition of all the papads was similar. Varietal differences of cowpea did not affect the quality characteristics of the papads. The results reveal that cowpea flour has all the desirable functional properties for making papads; hence cowpea flour makes an excellent raw material for the papad industry.
