摘要

Paan is a local name of betel leaf in many Asian countries like India, Pakistan, Bangladesh where it is an important cash crop from the time immemorial. Over 20 million people in India alone are associated with its production, processing, handling, transportation, marketing and consumption. This leaf contributes about Rs. 6,000-7,000 million every year to the Indian National Income. The leaf is consumed by a large portion of population in many Asian countries on a regular basis in its natural, fresh and raw condition along with lime, areca nut, catechu, aniseed, coriander seed, cardamom and clove mainly for the purpose of attaining digestive, stimulating and mouth freshening effects. In view of the continuously rising demand for fresh betel leaves and its highly perishable nature, a need was felt for improving its post-harvest quality. Consequently, in some villages in India, the farmers started curing betel leaves traditionally with the help of wood charcoal smoke in a closed chamber and thereby improving taste, mouth feel,shelf life and other qualities but the physiological changes associated with such attempt have not yet been well studied. Therefore, the present investigation was carried out during 2008 and 2009 at ⅡT, Kharagpur and Menkapur village of West Bengal, India. The objective of this study was to find the physiological parameters and quantify the changes associated with improvement in organoleptic qualities of betel leaves due to curing treatments. The physiological parameters studied in the experiments included: pH, Electrical Conductivity (EC), nutrients (N, P, K), protein, chlorophyll, fiber and carbohydrate contents while the organoleptic qualities of the cured leaves were examined through leaf-colour, taste and mouth feel. The results of the study indicated that green colour of the leaves gradually faded with curing treatments due to bleaching effect besides loss of chlorophyll and ultimately turned out to be white or yellowish white. The results also indicate that pH values gradually increased with number of curing from 5.16 to 6.58 but the fiber content of the leaves remained close to 2.20 % only. On the other hand,values of EC, chlorophyll, carbohydrate and protein contents gradually decreased with number of curings from 0.36 Siemens/m to 0.20 Sie-mens/m, from 0.59 mg/g to 0.07 mg/ g, from 6.84 % to 2.73 % and from 23.04 % to 16.30 %, respectively. A similar trend was also observed with N, P and K contents, which decreased from 3.69 % to 2.61 %, from 0.56 % to 0.46 % and from 1.09 % to 0.94 %, respectively. The cumulative effect of such changes, particularly that of leaf-colour, pH and chlorophyll was clearly perceptible in the organoleptic qualities of the cured leaves which gradually improved with increase in number of curings. This helped the farmers in obtaining a higher selling price of the cured leaves in the market.
