Pre-milling treatments of pigeon pea are labour and time-intensive batch operation, which is a big
problem due to batch processing nature and results in excessive material handling, leading to increased
processing duration with low final product recovery and chances of contamination in the handling
process. For easy milling and to improve milling efficiency, pre-treatment of pigeon pea is required. So
far, only long and batch type pre-milling treatments have been developed, and no such continuous type
pre-milling treater is available for this purpose. Hence this study was undertaken to the developed system
of 10 kg/h capacity of continuous pre milling treater for pigeon pea was optimized for continuous
treatments of pigeon pea to determine the best treatment condition for maximizing dehulling yield and
dhal yield while minimizing the dehulling loss. The best condition was obtained for pigeon pea with 10%
moisture content treated with the microwave power level of 90% for about 1.5 min to achieve a dehulling
yield of 49.15%, dhal yield of 74.55%, dehulling loss of 7.67%. Thus, it is recommended that the
continuous pre-milling treatment is more suitable for pigeon pea processing and presents an improvised
short and continuous method for pre-milling treatments for commercial adoption.
