Abstract :
The aim was to ascertain whether the process
of sprouting reduced the concentration of antinutritional factors in Vigna radiata, Macrotyloma
uniflorum, Vigna mungo (L) and Cicer arietinum (L)
belonging to Fabaceae family. Nutrition is the most
important concern in everyones diet plan and is also a
need to have balanced food. Care must also be taken
towards the anti-nutritional factors that inhibit the
absorption of nutrients thereby decreasing the
nutritional value of the food. The pulses were screened
for major specific anti nutrients (tannins, phytic acid,
alkaloids and cyanogenic glycosides) before and after
sprouting. The process of sprouting decreased the
concentration of tannins, phytic acids and cyanogenic
glycosides whereas the alkaloid concentration was
increased.
Keywords :
Alkaloids, Anti-Nutrients, Cyanogenic Glycoside, Nutrients, Phytic Acids, Sprouting, Tannins.
