Effect of genotype, storage temperature, shelling and duration of storage on quality of vegetable pigeon pea.

Author(s) : ONYANGO M. C., SILIM S. N.

Summary

The storage stability of pigeon pea pods and green peas under different storage conditions was determined. Losses were low in refrigerated peas, and lowest when peas were stored unshelled. Refrigerated peas showed higher total soluble solids compared to shelf-stored peas. Unshelled refrigerated peas showed the highest total soluble solids, particularly upon 4-day storage. There were no pronounced differences in total titratable acidity between shelf-stored and refrigerated peas. Shelled refrigerated peas generally had similar moisture content to that of the control.
