Post- Harvest Technology
Development of value added product containing Green Wheat (Ponk) and Chickpea ola (Ponk)
Name of the scientist: Dr. Gayatree Jadeja, Dr. H.G. Bhatt (FQA), Er. Amee Ravani (FPT),
Mrs. Heena Chavda, Dr. R.R. Gajera
Recommendation 1:
A satisfactory green wheat ponk can be prepared by roasting wheat earhead in oven at 200˚C for 20 minutes followed by drying under shadow for 30 minutes. The ponk dully filled in food grade airtight plastic container will have safe storage life of about six months. The farmers, entrepreneurs and agro processing units interested in production of green wheat ponk are advised to use the technology developed by Anand Agricultural University.
Recommendation 2:
A satisfactory chickpea ponk can be prepared by roasting green chickpea pods in oven at 200˚C for 20 minutes followed by drying in oven at 100˚C for 1 hour. The chickpea ponk dully filled in food grade airtight plastic container will have safe storage life of about four months. The farmers, entrepreneurs and agro processing units interested in production of chickpea ponk are advised to use the technology developed by Anand Agricultural University.
Recommendation 3:
A healthy value added Jadariyu can be prepared by using 35% wheat ponk flour, 15% chickpea ponk flour, 25% ghee, 20% sugar and 5% milk. The Jadariyu duly packed in food grade airtight plastic container will have safe storage life of about fifteen days. The farmers, entrepreneurs and agro processing units interested in production of Jadariyu are advised to use the technology developed by Anand Agricultural University.
Recommendation 4:
The farmers, entrepreneurs and agro processing units interested in production of satisfactory value added ponk khakhara are advised to use the technology developed by Anand Agricultural University.
a) Wheat ponk khakhara can be prepared by incorporating 70% wheat ponk flour with wheat flour. The product duly packed in aluminium foil will have safe storage life of about 75 days.
b) Chickpea ponk khakhara can be prepared by incorporating 35% chickpea ponk flour with wheat flour. The product duly packed in aluminium foil will have safe storage life of about 45 days.
