This study added black lentil ethanol extract to Yakgwa at ratios of 0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, and 2.0%, and its quality characteristics were compared to those of the synthetic antioxidant BHT added to Yakgwa. Yakgwa with black lentil extract had lower moisture content than Yakgwa with BHT (3.98%) but higher content than the control group (5.72%). Higher black lentil extract resulted in less moisture content (p<0.001) as well as a faster expansion rate and oil absorption rate (p<0.001). Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) showed that as black lentil extract content increased, pores merged and collapsed, whereas the number of pores decreased and pore size became larger. For chromaticity, all L, a, and b values of the group containing black lentil extract were higher compared to the control group and group with BHT (p<0.001). For texture, as amount of added black lentil extract increased, hardness (p<0.001) and gumminess (p<0.01) increased while cohesiveness (p<0.01) decreased compared to the control group. For sensory characteristics, Yakgwa with 1.0% black lentil extract showed the best preference for all items except for off-flavor. Thus, 1.0% black lentil added to Yakgwa was the best in terms of functionality including preference.

The efficacy of cowdung, Bangladesh Institute of Nuclear Agriculture (BINA)-biofertilizer, and Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU)-biofungicide, alone or in combination, was evaluated for controlling foot rot disease of lentil. The results exhibited that BINA-biofertilizer and BAU-biofungicide (peat soil-based Rhizobium leguminosarum and black gram bran-based Trichoderma harzianum) are compatible and have combined effects in controlling the pathogenic fungi Fusarium oxysporum and Sclerotium rolfsii, which cause the root rot of lentil. Cowdung mixing with soil (at 5 t/ha) during final land preparation and seed coating with BINA-biofertilizer and BAU-biofungicide (at 2.5% of seed weight) before sowing recorded 81.50% field emergence of lentil, which showed up to 19.85% higher field emergence over the control. Post-emergence deaths of plants due to foot rot disease were significantly reduced after combined seed treatment with BINA-biofertilizer and BAU-biofungicide. Among the treatments used, only BAU-biofungicide as the seed treating agent resulted in higher plant stand (84.82%). Use of BINA-biofertilizer and BAU-biofungicide as seed treating biocontrol agents and application of cowdung in the soil as an organic source of nutrient resulted in higher shoot and root lengths, and dry shoot and root weights of lentil. BINA-biofertilizer significantly increased the number of nodules per plant and nodules weight of lentil. Seeds treating with BAU-biofungicide and BINA-biofertilizer and soil amendment with cowdung increased the biomass production of lentil up to 75.56% over the control.

Purpose: For dissecting the possible benefits and usages of Cheonggukjang, five different beans, soybean, black soybean, red bean, chickpea, and lentil bean, underwent the fermentation process along with Bacillus subtilis. Methods: Resultant Cheonggukjang physicochemical and sensory properties such as pH, amino type nitrogen, slime contents, rheological properties, and sensory strength and consumer acceptance were analyzed. Results: Values of pH were found to be highest in Cheonggukjang made with soybean (SC), followed by Cheonggukjang made with black bean (BSC) and Cheonggukjang made with red bean and soybean mixture (RBSC), and lastly Cheonggukjang made with chickpea (CBC) and lentil bean (LBC). Amino type nitrogen values were shown to be highest in SC with a value of $394.74{\pm}28.80mg%$, subsequently were values taken from RBSC, followed by BSC, CBC, and lastly LBC. Slime contents were the highest in SC with a value of $3.44{\pm}0.36%$, with RBSC, BSC, CBC, and LBC without statistical difference. Total colony count was found to show higher value in BSC, SC, and RBSC, in contrast to the lower values found in CBC and LBC. Color was shown to be lightest in CBC and with darker shades shown that of SC, LBC, RBSC, and BSC in descending order. In rheological properties, hardness, adhesiveness, and viscosity were found to be highest in SC. Sensory strength analysis and sticky appearance were highest in SC, with fermented odor being lowest in CBC and BSC. The strength of sweetness, sourness, and umami taste did not show statistical difference, however, bitterness was shown to be highest in LBC and lowest in CBC, SC, and BSC. In the consumer acceptance test, overall acceptance was highest in SC and CBC. Conclusion: In conclusion, SC was found to be the best bean variety for making Cheonggukjang fermented with Bacillus subtilis, however, CBC may act as an alternative for manufacture of Cheonggukjang resulting in sound consumer acceptance.
