for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) analysis was
firstly applied to rank the most suitable registered chickpea cultivars among
(12×3=36 samples) alternatives based on their functional properties. Chickpeas
were grown in controlled trial fields of state research institutes in Adana (in
2014-2015) and Erzurum (2015) regions which had mild-hot and cold climate
conditions, respectively. Total phenolic (TPC) and </span> <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;">water-soluble </span> <span lang="en-gb" style="font-size:12pt;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;" xml:lang="en-gb">protein (WSPC) contents, free
radical scavenging (FRSA) and iron chelating (ICA) activities, and water binding
(WBC) and oil binding (OBC) capacities of extracts were determined. Equal
weights were assigned for the parameters in TOPSIS application and the
distances of each alternative from ideal positive and negative solution points
and closeness coefficients were determined. Considerable variations were
observed for TPC, FRSA and ICA. The average values of determined parameters in
each group (location, year, location and year) were close to each other.
Significant low positive correlations were not determined between TPC, FRSA and
ICA while any significant correlations were determined between the WSPC, OBC,
and WBC (P˂0.05). Aydın cultivar had the highest score for its antioxidant and
technical functions (closeness coefficient was 7.02E-01) and followed by Çakır
(5.59E-01) and Azkan (4.91E-01). This study showed the suitability of TOPSIS
analysis in agriculture and food science area when the sample number was high
and many different properties of samples were considered. </span> </p> <p> </p>}, number={4}, publisher={Özkan ÖZDEN}, organization={Adana Science and Technology University Scientific Research Coordination Unit.}
