Abstract:
An experiment entitled ''Studies on evaluation of different varieties of onion for dehydration.'' was conducted during year 2020-21 at Horticulture Research Scheme (Vegetable), Department of Horticulture, VNMKV, Parbhani. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design for field research experiment and Completely Randomized Design for laboratory experiment with three replications and twelve varieties viz. Bhima kiran, Bhima Super, Bhima Dark Red, Bhima Light Red, Bhima Safed, Bhima Raj, Bhima Shakti, Bhima Shweta, Bhima Shubhra, Bhima Red, N-2-4-1, Phule Samarth. Analysis of variance revealed significant differences among the varieties in all characters.
An experiment entitled ''Studies on evaluation of different varieties of onion for dehydration.'' was conducted during year 2020-21 at Horticulture Research Scheme (Vegetable), Department of Horticulture, VNMKV, Parbhani. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design for field research experiment and Completely Randomized Design for laboratory experiment with three replications and twelve varieties viz. Bhima kiran, Bhima Super, Bhima Dark Red, Bhima Light Red, Bhima Safed, Bhima Raj, Bhima Shakti, Bhima Shweta, Bhima Shubhra, Bhima Red, N-2-4-1, Phule Samarth. Analysis of variance revealed significant differences among the varieties in all characters.
Lowest browning index was recorded in variety Bhima Shubhra (7.54 mg/g) while maximum browning index was found in variety Bhima Raj (12.38 mg/g). Moisture content on wet basis maximum was recorded in variety Bhima Shweta (98.27-82.00%) however, minimum was recorded in variety Bhima Kiran (97.12-82.00%) and moisture content on dry basis highest was recorded in variety Bhima Shweta (56.87-7.33%) however, lowest was recorded in variety Bhima Kiran (33.72-4.56%). Minimum moisture ratio was recorded in variety Bhima Kiran (0.62%), while maximum was observed in variety Bhima Shweta (0.72%). Highest drying rate was observed in variety Bhima Dark Red (11.02 – 1.02kg water /kg dry matter /hr) however, lowest was recorded in variety Bhima Kiran (4.17-0.56 kg water /kg dry matter /hr). Hence, on account of drying ratio, rehydration ratio and browning index, as compared to rest of the varieties of onion under studies the Bhima shubhra, Bhima Shweta and Bhima dark red varieties were more suitable for dehydration purposes.
