On plotting ln(Mr) versus frying time for both CON and GG
samples (Fig. 5), the linear equations for both lines were obtained.
The slope of these lines which give Km values showed that the CON
sample had significantly higher Km value (0.126 s1) than the Km
value of GG sample (0.090 s1). This clearly indicates that addition
of GG helped in retention of moisture in the product and hence
made puri softer and pliable compared to CON.
