DETERMINATION OF THE BEST FUNCTIONAL CHICKPEA CULTIVARS BY TOPSIS TECHNIQUE

Abstract

Technique 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 water-soluble 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.
