Abstract: An experiment was conducted during Rabi season of 2015-16 at Oilseed Research Farm, Kalyanpur, C.S.A University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur to study the biochemical aspects of certain promising varieties of chickpea. Results revealed that the dahl protein content varied from 21-24.1 per cent in different varieties of chickpea. Significantly highest protein content in dahl was obtained in chickpea variety KWR-108 compared to rest varieties of chickpea. The recovery in whole grain in different varieties of chickpea ranged from 68-87 per cent. The chickpea variety Pragati recorded maximum dahl recovery of 87 per cent in whole grain followed by Radhey, KPG-59, Avarodhi, RSG-963, KWR-108 and BG-372. Different varieties of chickpea showed variation in husk per cent from 11.42-16.42 per cent. The variety Pragati gave lower mean value for husk then the other varieties of chickpea. Broken dahl recovery ranged from 0.49-5.28 per cent and highest per cent obtained in variety Pusa-256, whereas, the variety Avarodhi recorded least value of broken dahl per cent. The lowest percent loss was obtained in KPG-59 (1.76%), whereas, highest per cent loss was recorded in the chickpea variety Pusa-256 (13.82%). On the basis of above results it can be concluded that KWR-108 possess highest value of protein content in dahl of chickpea variety
