The present investigation was undertaken with the objective tornprepare ‘Laddu’, ‘Daal’ and ‘Haryaali Sprouted Salad’ from three varieties namely:rnPant Mung 5 (PM 5), Pant Mung 6 (PM 6) and a local variety of mungbean grain.rnThe foods prepared thereby viz. PM 5, PM 6 and Local variety ‘Laddu’, PM 5, PMrn6 and Local variety ‘Daal’ and PM 5, PM 6 and Local variety ‘Haryaali SproutedrnSalad’ underwent sensory evaluation using Nine Point Hedonic Scale and thernScore Card methods as given by Amerine

[1]rnand also for evaluation of their nutritional composition. It was found that PMrn6 Laddu was liked extremely by 46.67% and Local variety Laddu was likedrnslightly by 33.33% of panelists. Moreover the PM 5, PM 6 and Local variety ofrnDaal was liked very much by 62%, 72% and 79% respectively. The HaryaalirnSprouted Salad prepared from PM 5, PM 6 and Local variety was liked extremelyrnby 46.67%, 53.33% and 23.33% respectively. For one serving of Laddu (33 g), onerncup of Daal (110 g) and 75 g of Haryaali Sprouted Salad the crude proteinrncontent ranged from 6.54 to 12g and the calcium content was gauged to be in thernrange of 80.51 to 90.75 mg for PM 5, PM 6 and Local variety of mungbean grainsrnrespectively.
Thus the newly evolved varieties of PM 5 and PM 6 are found to be nutritionallyrnsuperior over the local variety prepared for daily consumption.
