Nutritional and anti-nutritional potential of three accessions of itching bean (Mucuna pruriens (L.) DC var. pruriens): an under-utilized tribal pulse

摘要: Three accessions of the under-utilized legume itching bean (Mucuna pruriens var. pruriens) were analysed for proximate composition, mineral profiles, vitamins (niacin and ascorbic acid), fatty acid amino profiles total seed protein, in vitro protein digestibility certain anti-nutritional factors. All three M. contained higher amounts crude lipid when compared with most commonly consumed pulses. The revealed that lipids a concentration palmitic linoleic acids. Amino relatively levels essential acids FAO/WHO requirement pattern. investigated seeds are rich minerals such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron manganese. Anti nutritional substances free phenolics, tannins, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine, phytic...
