ABSTRACT

Sensory parameters are the basic and main attribute in acceptability of any food. Keeping this thing in view nine cultivars of pearl millet, grown in Rajasthan were evaluated for organoleptic quality. Organoleptic evaluation was done by preparing basic recipes (chappati and khichada). The result showed significant variation (P³0.05) in terms of mean scours for colour, appearance, flavour, taste and overall acceptability. All the cultivars were found to be acceptable in the form of chappati and khichada.  However hybrid cultivars had better preference followed by land races and composite cultivars. Among hybrids, RHB 121 was found to be more acceptable.
