Abstract
Quality parameters were evaluated in bread wheat cultivars developed in India. In trials conducted in 10 states, hectolitre weight was more than 76.4 kg/hl in all states. The states in Central and Peninsular India, such as Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Maharashtra, recorded very high hectolitre weight (>80.0 kg/hl). The average protein content ranged from 10.6% in Uttaranchal to 13.1% in South Karnataka. The protein content reached 11.0-12.0% in Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan; 12.0-13.0% in Gujarat and Maharashtra; and >13.0% in Karnataka. The average sedimentation values were <40 cc in Uttaranchal, Punjab and Karnataka; 40-45 cc in Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat and Maharashtra; and >45 cc in Bihar and Madhya Pradesh. The mean hardness value reached 5.0-6.0, indicating medium to strong hardness. Samples collected in 2000 from 12 grain markets in Mandi, Haryana, Rajasthan, recorded an average hectolitre weight of 77.3 kg/hl. The protein content varied from 9.47 to 12.79% (overall mean value of 11.67%). The medium protein values indicated the suitability of these samples for chapati production. The sedimentation value varied from 36 to 44 ml. Among the 12 cultivars developed at CCSHAU, Hisar, Haryana, C-306 registered the highest chapati score of 8.4. WH-283, WH-291, WH-416, WH-423, WH-533 and WH-542 also recorded good chapati scores (7.5-8.0). WH-283 had the highest flour recovery. WH-291 and WH-712 had the highest bread score (9.0) and sedimentation value (63.0 ml), respectively. The high-molecular-weight glutenin subunit composition of 14 cultivars was determined by SDS-PAGE. The results revealed that the cultivars developed at CCSHAU had good breadmaking quality
