Non-traditional pulses (tribal pulses) namely Kandulo and Bailo treated with different pre-treatments like water soaking, oil treatment, and chemical treatment and the changes in nutritive value of protein content and carbohydrate content both in manually dehulled and finished product (dhal) were assessed over untreated manually dehulled sample. Dhal yield ranged from 68.34% to 80.76% in Kandulo and 66.90% to 81.89% in Bailo; maximum dhal yield was in chemical treatment and minimum in oil pre-treated sample. All the premilling treatments except sodium bicarbonate treatment caused significant loss in protein content in cotyledon over untreated sample. Oil treated finished product resulted maximum loss in protein content in both the samples over untreated manually dehulled sample. In manually dehulled sample, maximum carbohydrate loss was found in oil treated sample than untreated finished dhal sample.
