    Notes: Mature dry seeds of 20 varieties of cowpeas (Vigna unguiculata) grown in Nigeria were analyzed for their sucrose, raffinose and stachyose content. The dry seeds were ground into powder, extracted with 80% ethanolandthe extract analyzed by paper chromatography using a mixture of n-butanol, ethanol, water and ammonia solution 8:1:2:1 v/v). The results show a progressive decrease in raffinose and stachyose content with dehulling and cooking and an increase in sucrose level after cooking. The average content of the sugars in whole beans on dry weight basis was sucrose 0.8%, raffinose 2.6% and stachyose 3.3%. The average content for dehulled raw beans were sucrose 0.7%, raffinose 1.8% and stachyose 2.4% while in cooked beans it was 1.6%, 1.3%, and 1.8%, respectively.

    Notes: Eighteen cultivars of cowpeas (V. unguiculata) were analyzed for cooking time, swelling capacity, leached solid, percent seed coat, seed density, amylose, tannins, proteins, and soluble sugars. The physicochemical characteristics varied with the seed coat color, the hilum color, and the skin texture. The cooking time was positively correlated to protein, seed density, percent seed coat, swelling capacity and leached solids, and negatively correlated to the levels of amylose, soluble sugars and tannins. There were significant correlations (p 〈 0.05) between sugars and swelling capacity, protein and seed density; and seed density and swelling capacity. The mean percent seed coat was significantly different (p 〈 0.05) between the varieties with wrinkled seed coats and those with smooth seed coats.

    Notes: Whole grains and flours of two cultivars of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) were stored sealed at steady temperatures of 0, 20 and 55°C, and 11–13% moisture for 7 months. The pH, soluble sugars, free amino nitrogen, titratable acidity, and protein digestibility decreased at 55°C. The changes varied with cultivar and between the flours and the grains stored at 0 and 20°C. All changes, except titratable acidity in white cowpea flour, were strongly correlated with increasing storage temperature.
