ABSTRACT

A study was conducted on fluted pumpkin (Telfairia occidental/s hooker flu) seed to investigate its dehuiling and the relationship between the pretreatments prior to dehulling of the seed and its physicochemical properties. Seeds were treated by boiling, steaming and roasting for 20, 40 and 60 minutes respectively. Results showed that 40 minutes boiling was an optimal time for achieving the easiest dehulling operation on the seeds. Similarly, steaming and roasting for 60 minutes also gave easy dehulling; with steaming for 60 minutes giving the overall best performance. AU the treatments positively and negatively affected the physical and physicochemical properties of fluted pumpkin.
