The present research focuses on the chapatti making quality of high-yielding white maize hybrids compared to available low-yielding local yellow and white landraces in India.
In this study, the top nine superior hybrids were selected for testing the physical properties of the maize kernels, proximate composition of flours and , physical parameters of , textural properties, sensory evaluation of and pasting properties of maize flour.
The results revealed the superiority of white maize hybrids (WMH), , WHM 1, WHM 2, and WHM 8 over the local yellow and white landraces for most of the parameters studied. In sensory analysis, though, the yellow landrace was considered superior by the panellists in terms of colour but the white maize hybrids outperformed in overall sensory analysis and were more acceptable than the yellow and white maize landraces. These high yielding white maize hybrids with good consumer acceptance may cater for the needs of rural and tribal populations in India who prefer white maize as a staple food.
本研究聚焦于高产白玉米杂交种与印度现有的低产本地黄玉米和白玉米地方品种相比的薄饼制作品质。
在本研究中，选择了九个顶级优良杂交种来测试玉米粒的物理特性、面粉的近似成分、薄饼的物理参数、质地特性、感官评价以及玉米面粉的糊化特性。
结果表明，在所研究的大多数参数方面，白玉米杂交种（WMH），即WHM 1、WHM 2和WHM 8优于本地黄玉米和白玉米地方品种。不过，在感官分析中，小组成员认为黄玉米地方品种在颜色方面更优，但白玉米杂交种在整体感官分析中表现更出色，比黄玉米和白玉米地方品种更受青睐。这些高产且消费者接受度高的白玉米杂交种可能满足印度农村和部落人口的需求，他们更喜欢将白玉米作为主食。
