Pigeonpea occupies an important place in human nutrition as a source of dietary proteins in several countries. Some of the important factors that affect the protein quality of pigeonpea have been reviewed and summarised in this paper. Among important food legumes, pigeonpea contained the lowest amount of limiting sulphur amino acids, methionine and cystine implicating the importance of these amino acids in protein quality improvement program. Large variation existed in the levels of protease inhibitors of pigeonpea varieties. The concentration of these inhibitors were significantly higher in some of the wild relatives of pigeonpea. Protein digestibility of cooked pigeonpea meal remained low and this could be due to the presence of certain compounds other than trypsin inhibitors. Pigeonpea polyphenolic compounds adversely affected the activity of digestive enzymes and this would affect the protein quality of pigeonpea. The protein quality of pigeonpea was greatly influenced by storage and processing practices.  相似文献

True protein digestibility (TD), biological value (BV), and net protein utilization (NPU) of low-polyphenol pigeonpea cultivars (Nylon, BDN 2, and ICPL 87067) were significantly higher than those of the high polyphenol cultivars (C 11, ICPL 87, and ICPL 151) when whole-seed samples were compared. Most of the polyphenols (80–90%) were concentrated in the seed-coat. Dhal (decorticated split cotyledons) samples of low (Nylon) and high (C 11) polyphenol cultivars revealed no large differences in TD, BV, and NPU values of these cultivars. This indicated an adverse affect of seed-coat polyphenols on protein quality of pigeonpea whole-seed. The cooking process significantly increased TD in both whole seed and dhal samples. BV of both whole-seed and dhal samples was reduced remarkably by cooking. However, NPU of the cooked whole-seed and dhal samples was significantly higher than in the raw samples. No noticeable differences due to cooking were observed in amino acid composition of whole-seed and dhal samples of these cultivars.  相似文献

Abstract

Cool season food legumes such as pea, lentil, chickpea, faba bean, grasspea and lupin have been consumed in animal and human diets since domestication and have been cultivated for over 9000 years. Due to their nutritional value they continue to make up a substantial portion of diets in developing countries worldwide. Seeds are composed of protein, starch, fiber, lipids, vitamins and minerals as well as several antinutritional compounds. Protein and starch combined account for 50-75% of seed mass. Similar amounts of protein and starch are present in each species and range from 15-40% and 35-53%, respectively. Fiber accounts for 1-22% of the seed mass. Chickpea is quite variable for fiber content, but faba bean, grasspea and lupin all contain approximately 15% fiber while pea and lentil have substantially lower levels, 4-8%. Protein composition is deficient in the sulfur amino acids, methionine and cysteine, but contains adequate levels of lysine making the legumes an excellent dietary complement to cereals. As a result these crops have been produced and consumed together for centuries. Despite the high nutritional value of these crops, they contain several antinutritional factors (ANF) such as phytic acid, protease inhibitors, heamagglutinins, tannins, alkaloids, raffinose oligosaccharides and antigenicity factors at relatively low levels. These compounds serve important roles in pest resistance or plant survival, but reduce digestibility and palatability when consumed. Genetic analysis of the antinutritional factors has shown that many of the ANFs are controlled by single genes and has allowed geneticists to reduce accumulation of the ANFs, thereby improving nutritional value. Legumes will continue to serve as the primary source of protein in areas of the world where meat is not readily available. Continued research toward a better understanding of the genetic control of legume quality will give geneticists the opportunity to improve the dietary value of these crops.  相似文献

Total sulphur was determined in seed meal of 30 chickpea and 24 pigeonpea cultivars by the wet digestion procedure and by using the Leco sulphur analyser. Methionine and cystine were determined after performic acid oxidation in an amino acid analyser. The two methods used for total sulphur determinations were highly correlated (r=0.943). Percent meal protein was significantly correlated (r=0.476) with total sulphur in chickpea but not in the case of pigeonpea. Total sulphur content exhibited a significant positive correlation (r=0.651) with sulphur amino acids of pigeonpea when expressed as percent of protein but not in the case of chickpea. Correlation coefficients between total sulphur and sulphur amino acids when the results were expressed as percent of sample were positive for both chickpea (r=0.494) and pigeonpea (r=0.534). The amount of sulphur in methionine and cystine accounted for 54.8% of the total sulphur in chickpea and for 75.5% in pigeonpea. In both chickpea and pigeonpea, methionine was positively and significantly correlated with cystine when they were expressed either as percent of sample or as percent of protein.Submitted as J.A. no. 159 by the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT).  相似文献

Effect of natural fermentation process (4 days) on the non-protein nitrogen, crude and true protein, amino acids content and in vitro digestibility of two kinds of legumes (lentils and chick pea) and two kinds of cereals (rice and wheat) was investigated. Non-protein nitrogen increased significantly (p<0.001) in the fermented products. Little increase has occured in the crude protein while no significant change was observed in the fermented true protein samples. It was observed that methionine and cystine which are considered the limiting amino acids in legume seeds were close to those of FAO/WHO patterns. Also, lysine content (the first limiting amino acid in cereals was higher in fermented rice than that of FAO/WHO pattern. Moreover, fermentation process improved significantly, the in vitro digestibility of both legume and cereal products.  相似文献

Studies on protein fractionation in seed coat, embryo, cotyledons and whole seed were made to observe the differences, if any, between chickpea and pigeonpea. Results indicated that globulin was the major fraction of embryo and cotyledons of these legumes. Seed-coat nitrogen was observed to be mostly comprised of nonprotein nitrogen and glutelin fractions and thus differed from other components in both chickpea and pigeonpea. The albumin fraction of cotyledons of both crops had the highest concentration of sulphur amino acids, methionine and cystine. Glutelin contained a considerably higher concentration of methionine and cystine than did globulin in chickpea and pigeonpea. This suggests that lines with higher glutelin should be identified to improve their protein quality. The amino acid compositions of different seed components did not show large differences between these two pulse crops.Submitted as JA no. 180 by the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT).  相似文献

To develop high protein lines, several crosses were made betweenCajanus as a source of acceptable seed size andAtylosia as a source of high protein. In the present study, 1974 single F7 plants from these intergeneric crosses were examined. Correlation coefficients among these crosses between seed size and seed protein content ranged from ?0.30, (P<0.01) to +0.28 (P<0.01). Two crosses had significant negative correlations and one showed a significant positive correlation while in the remaining two no significant association was detected. Based on all the selections there was a highly significant negative correlation (?0.13,P<0.01) between seed size and protein content. However, the extent of variation that could be attributed to this association was small. Observations indicated that in pigeonpea, unlike other legume and cereal crops, simultaneous improvement can be made for seed size and protein. Some high protein lines (HPL 2, HPL 7, HPL 40, and HPL 51) have been identified. Protein content of these lines ranged between 27.0 and 29.0% and 100-grain weight between 10.0 and 12.1 g.  相似文献

Raw and cooked samples of cultivars ofLens esculenta (Lentils),Pisum sativum (peas),Phaseolus vulgaris (beans),Phaseolus aureus (navy beans)Cicer arietnum (gram), andLathyrus sativus (dhal) as well as precooked commercial products were analysed for amino acids, trypsin inhibitor activity and in vitro protein digestibility. Of the fifteen samples used in the study one lentil sample, one pea sample, two gram samples and one sample of khesari dhal were from Bangladesh, one gram sample was from Sri Lanka. The other samples were obtained either in shops in Norway or from an industrial firm. The latter were also obtained precooked and dried. The two samples obtained in shops were used with hull and dehulled.Neither cooking by a Bangladeshi household procedure nor industrial precooking and drying had any effect on the amino acid contents of the samples.Cooking and precooking reduced the trypsin inhibitor activity of the raw samples more when the original activity was high then when it was low. The inhibitor activity was similar between samples after cooking.Cooking and precooking and drying increased the in vitro protein digestibility in all samples except in the lentils in which the digestibility was reduced.In the raw samples protein digestibility was negatively correlated with the trypsin inhibitor activity.  相似文献

Abstract

Soybean is an important source of protein in livestock production, and is of growing importance for human consumption. As a sole dietary protein source, soybean seed protein is deficient in the amino acids methionine, cysteine, and threonine. Increasing the amount of methionine in the amino acid profile of soybean meal would enhance its value for producers and consumers. Methionine contains S, and so its production is necessarily linked to sulfur metabolism within the soybean plant. Sulfur is taken up from the soil in the form of sulfate. During vegetative growth, developing leaves appear to be the predominate site of sulfate reduction and incorporation of reduced S into amino acids. During reproductive growth, developing pods and seeds seem to be the predominate location of sulfate reduction. Sulfate reduction and methionine synthesis are complex and highly regulated processes. Synthesis of storage proteins within the developing seed is sensitive to the amount of methionine present such that provision of extra methionine blocks synthesis of poor quality storage proteins. Sulfur deficiency on the other hand dramatically enhances accrual of poor quality seed storage proteins. It appears that the plant manufacturers higher qualty storage proteins as long as methionine is present in adequate quanitities relative to the non-S-amino acids. Accumulation of poor-quality seed storage proteins thus appears to be a function, at least to some degree, of rate of methionine synthesis within the seed. Efforts to enhance soybean seed protein quality may require enhanced rates of methionine synthesis within the seed to be successful.  相似文献

Six legume crops and three cereal crops in the Asian Rice Farming Systems Network were compared with IR58 brown rice in terms of dry matter, energy and protein yields per hectare. Sorghum was closest to brown rice in dry matter and energy yield but soybean had the highest protein yield. Peanut and soybean had higher crude fat than the other crops which accounted for their high energy content and yield among the legumes. Amino acid analysis showed cowpea, mungbean, pigeonpea, bushsitao, and soybean protein as limiting in sulfur amino acids (cysteine + methionine). Peanut protein was limiting in either lysine or tryptophan + threonine. Corn, sorghum and wheat proteins were limiting in lysine.  相似文献

During the germination of legume seeds, enzymes become active in order to degrade starch, storage-protein and proteinaceous antinutritional factors. The degradation of storage-protein is necessary to make peptides and amino acids available in order to stimulate seed growth and early plant growth. Proteinaceous antinutritional factors such as amylase inhibitors, lectins and trypsin inhibitors are present in legume seeds and protect them against predators. However, during germination, they degrade to a lower level by the action of several enzymes. The effect of germination on the content and activity of amylase inhibitors, lectins, tannins and trypsin inhibitors is discussed.  相似文献

Proximate and mineral composition, seed protein fractions, amino acid composition, fatty acid profiles and antinutritional factors were analysed for the seeds of the tribal pulse,Bauhinia malabarica. The seeds contained higher amount of crude lipid when compared with most of the domesticated pulses. The seeds were rich in minerals like Ca, Mg and Fe. Glutelins (45%) constituted the major seed protein fraction followed by globulins which accounted for about 34%. Cystine and methionine were found to be the limiting essential amino acids; whereas tyrosine and phenylalanine content were fairly high when compared with WHO requirement pattern. The unsaturated fatty acids, oleic acid and linoleic acid, were predominant in seed lipids. Presence of antinutritional substances like total free phenols, tannins, L-DOPA and haemagglutinating activity also were analysed/assayed.  相似文献

The seeds of 15 Polish pea varieties contained from 221 to 281 g/kg crude protein with a mean of 240.2±3.5 g/kg dry matter (DM). The weight of 1000 pea seeds, depending on cultivar, ranged from 209.4 to 280.4 g. No interactive effect between the seed mass and the crude protein content was detected. The highest significant negative correlation between weight of seeds and dietary fiber content wasr=−0.815XX. The content of dietary fiber ranged from 161.5 to 209.9 g/kg with a mean of 187.9±3.8 g/kg. The mean gross energy of seeds was 18.1±0.28 MJ/kg. Amino acid composition of all the cultivars was similar, which was indicated by a similar index of essential amino acids (EAAI) of about 69.7±0.25. Trypsin inhibitor content in seeds was from 2.83 to 7.32 TIU/mg and the content of phytates ranged from 6.32 to 13.36 mg/g DM. The mean content of polyphenols and flavanols in analysed pea cultivars was 0.92 amd 0.46 mg/g, respectively. In the seeds of most cultivars little or no pyrimidine glucosides, i.e. vicine and convicine, were found. The overall mean oligosaccharide content was 64.3±1.8 g/kg, of which α-galactosides were 46.8±2.0 g/kg. The antinutritional factor content was not significantly correlated with protein content. No statistical relationship was found between crude protein and dietary fiber content. It was observed that pea cultivars with higher trypsin inhibitor activity contained significantly less flavanols (r=−0.607X) and α-galactosides (r=−0.617X). The varieties with higher seed content of dietary fiber contained the highest amount of α-galactosides (r=0.514X).  相似文献

As the search for alternative sources of food to alleviate hunger continues, this study was undertaken to determine nitrogen and amino acid content, chemical score, protein digestibility corrected amino acid score, available lysine and in vitro digestibility of 8 lesser known, wild tropical seeds, gathered in Nigeria. Results were contrasted with a tropical soybean variety (Glycine max, TGX 1660-15F). The investigated seeds wereMillettia thonningii, Gliricidia sepium, Lonchocarpus sericeus, Albizia zygia, Daneillia ogea andAfzelia bella from the family of Leguminosae,Diospyros mespiliformis (Ebenaceae) andEntandrophragma angolense (Meliaceae). The crude protein content, based on nitrogen determination, was found to be lower in the wild seeds compared to soybean, which was partly due to the relatively high content of non-protein nitrogen. With reference to amino acid requirement and digestibility in most seed samples, lysine, followed by sulphur amino acids and threonine, were the limiting amino acids. It was concluded, that these less familiar wild seed plants may be used as valuable food or feed complements. However, further investigation is necessary to elucidate potential toxic and antinutritional factors.  相似文献

The chemical and toxicological composition of ten wild legumes collected in Yucatan, Mexico was determined. For each species the whole fruit, (seed and pod), were studied as well as the seed and pod separately. A higher protein content was found in the seeds ofA. lebbeck andP. saman (37.07 and 37.60% respectively). In the seeds ofL. longystilus, C. yucatanensis andP. keyense a high concentration of fat was found, especially in the first with 31.34%. A high quantity of fiber was found in the pods. In general, the samples were rich in lysine (especially seeds) and scant in sulfur amino acids and tryptophan. All the samples showed high concentration of potassium and calcium. Some of them exhibited significant concentrations of iron. The pods ofP. saman and P. keyense showed a high content of lectins. In the seeds ofC. yucatanensis and in the pod ofP. keyense high concentrations of trypsin inhibitors were found 60 and 406.7 TUI/mg sample respectively. The presence of saponins, was detected in seven samples, of which the seed ofP. keyense had the highest concentration. Alkaloids were found only in the whole fruit and pod ofP. saman and cyanogenic glucosides were present inA. pennatula. In general terms, the whole legume showed better digestibility than the pods alone.  相似文献

Two varieties of mesta (Hibiscus sabdariffa) seeds were analysed for their proximate composition. Their protein (18.8–22.3%), fat (19.1–22.8%) and dietary fiber (39.5–42.6%) contents were found to be high. The seeds were found to be a good source of minerals like phosphorus, magnesium and calcium. Their lysine and tryptophan contents were also high. Sulphur containing amino acids were limiting in this seed protein and the chemical score of mesta seed protein was 40 and 57 for AMV-2 and Bhimili-1 varieties respectively. Mesta seed oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids (70%), of which linoleic acid constituted 44%. Weanling rats were fed with 10% mesta seed protein before and after cooking for 4 weeks. Food intake of animals receiving raw mesta seed diets was significantly lower than those receiving cooked mesta seed diets as well as the casein control diet. Protein and dry matter digestibilities of raw and cooked mesta seed diets were lower than that of casein control diet. Cooking improved the food intake, gain in body weight, dry matter and protein digestibility of mesta seed diets. PER and NPU of cooked mesta seed diets were significantly higher than the corresponding raw diets. These results indicate that cooked mesta seed protein is of relatively good quality.  相似文献

Four accessions of the lesser-known legume, Cassia obtusifolia L. (Sickle pod), collected from four different agroclimatic regions of Western Ghats, were evaluated for agrobotanical traits and chemical composition. Amongthe four accessions, the Keriparai accession had the highest values for plant height (cm), number of flowers per cluster, number of pods per cluster, pod length (cm), seeds per pod, seed weight (g) per pod and seed recovery percentage. Crude protein ranged from 18.56–22.93%, crude lipid was between 5.35–7.40%, crude fiber ranged from 6.83–9.45%, ash content ranged from 5.14–5.83% and carbohydrate varied from 57.00–60.69%. Globulins constituted the bulk of the seed protein as in most legumes. Mineral profiles, viz., sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, copper, zinc and manganese ranged from 42.92–84.83, 758.05–1555.79, 559.92–791.72, 456.36–709.47, 629.13–947.79, 8.42–12.35, 0.93–2.06, 10.60–30.04 and 2.12–4.12 Mg/100 g seeds flour, respectively. Seed proteins of all accessions exhibited relatively high levels of non-essential and essential amino acids, with the exception of threonine. The in vitro protein digestibility of the legume ranged from 74.66 to 81.44%. Antinutritional substances such as total free phenolics ranged from 0.34–0.66%; tannins were between 0.47–0.60%, L-DOPA content ranged from 0.98–1.34%; trypsin inhibitor activity varied from 11.4–13.5 TIU/mg protein and chymotrypsin inhibitor activity ranged from 10.8–12.3 CIU/mg protein. Phytohemagglutinating activity also was assayed. Inconclusion, the accessions of C. obtusifolia, collected from Western Ghats, South India, could serve as a low-cost source of some important nutrients for humans. The antinutritional factors might have little nutritional significance, if the seeds are processed properly.  相似文献

Pigeonpea flour was substituted at levels of 0, 5, 10, 15,20, 25% to wheat flour and whole wheat meal for bread andChapatti making, respectively. Blends were prepared up to50% for cookie making. Increasing levels of pigeonpeas inthe blends significantly increased the protein and mineralcontent of the baked products. The bread from 10%pigeonpea flour blend with 2–3% vital gluten and 0.5%SSL had high loaf volume and loaf quality. Blends containing 15% pigeonpea flour were acceptable for Chapatti and 30% pigeonpea flour with 0.25% SSL wereacceptable for cookie making.  相似文献

Seeds from seven species of wild legumes of the South India were analyzed for proximate composition, mineral profiles, amino acid profiles of total seed protein, in vitro protein digestibility, and certain antinutritional factors to assess their potential as alternative sources of protein crops. The major findings of the study were as follows: crude protein ranged from 20.3 to 35.0%, crude lipid 3.1–9.6%, crude fiber 5.9–12.1%, ash 2.7–5.1%, and carbohydrates 49.2–61.8%. Minerals viz., sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, copper, zinc, and manganese occurred in the range 42.9–135.9, 556.2–1639.5, 304.5–572.2, 174.9–686.7, 98.4–947.8, 3.6–16.4, 0.2–1.2, 2.0–30.0, and 1.0–3.9 mg/100 g seed flour, respectively. Profiles of amino acids of total seed proteins detected in the present study revealed that levels of valine, phenylalanine, tyrosine, isoleucine, and histidine of all the seven wild legume seed samples, threonine of Canavalia ensiformis and C. gladiata, leucine of Mucuna pruriens var. pruriens, and lysine of Cassia floribunda and C. obtusifolia were found to be higher than FAO/WHO (1991) requirement pattern. The in vitro protein digestibility of the legumes under study ranged from 63.39 to 83.32%. Antinutritional factors such as total free phenolics ranged from 0.41 to 5.96%, tannins from 0.04 to 0.60%, L-DOPA from 1.34 to 8.37% and trypsin inhibitor activity from 13.48 to 65.43 TIU/mg protein. The detected antinutritional factors probably have little nutritional significance if the seeds are properly processed.  相似文献

In India, the seeds ofCanavalia gladiata andC. ensiformis have traditionally been eaten by the aborigines, but they are less popular among the civilized people. The data on the chemical composition and nutritional quality of these seeds are not readily available. The proximate composition, mineral composition, the contents of total (true) proteins, seed protein fractions, profile of seed protein amino acids and certain antinutritional factors were analysed and reported in the present study. The seeds ofC. ensiformis contain more crude protein, crude lipid and minerals like Na, K, Ca, Mg, P, Fe and Mn than doesC. gladiata. Both albumins and globulins together constitute the major bulk of seed proteins. In both the species ofCanavalia investigated, glutamic acid, aspartic acid, isoleucine+leucine, tyrosine+phenylalanine and lysine are the major amino acids of seed proteins. The presence of certain antinutritional factors (total free phenols, tannins, lectins, L-DOPA, trypsin inhibitor activity) is also reported for both species ofCanavalia.  相似文献
