The present study was undertaken to evaluate the nutritional quality and value addition of Black gram grown in H.P. Three cultivars/varieties of Black gram viz. UG-218, HIM MASH and Local cultivar were taken for the study. The various biochemical parameters studied were physico-chemical characteristics, proximate compositional, nutritional quality, functional properties and anti-nutritional constituents. The results of the investigation showed that UG-218 had maximum length, breadth and 1000 seed weight as compared to HIM MASH and Local cultivar. Whereas Local cultivar had highest amount of nutritional constituents followed by UG-218 and minimum was in HIM MASH. HIM MASH contained highest amount of proteins i.e. 34.41 per cent. Functional properties i.e. water absorption capacity was non-significantly higher in local cultivar whereas oil absorption capacity was for UG-218. Anti-nutrients were maximum in the local cultivar and minimum in the UG-218. For cultivar grading Local cultivar was the best.
