Abstract

Three varieties (suncross-843, NK-265, NK-212) of sunflower seeds wereanalysed for their proximate compo-
sition. Cultivar NK-212 was selected for further treatments, in view or its desirable nutritive and other physico-
chemical characteristics. Application of different methods/treatments resulted in reduction of fibre from 24.41 to
18.34% and chlorogenic acid from 3.34 to 1.02%. Biological evaluation studies on the processed meal indicated
considerable improvements in the nutritional qualities.
