Effect of different post-harvest treatments on antinutritional factors in seeds of the tribal pulse, Mucuna pruriens (L.) DC

摘要: The effect of soaking, cooking and autoclaving on the levels certain antinutritional factors present in tribal pulse, Mucuna pruriens, were studied. amount reduction total free phenolics was found to be greater sodium bicarbonate solution (56%) compared distilled water (47%); subjected these further reduced 49%. Autoclaving (45 min) significantly tannin content (71%). Insignificant L-DOPA observed all processes. Distilled soaking ineffective eliminating lectin activity; whereas very significant noticed against human blood groups ABO without any specificity samples autoclaving. Soaking more effective (27% reduction) than (17% lowering contents phytic acid. Cooking for 90 min 45 resulted acid extent 18% 44%, respectively. Loss HCN under (75%) other processes Of three oligosaccharides analysed, effected maximum level stachyose followed by verbascose raffinose. (59-81%) ordinary (40-60% reduction). different treatments studied, seemed best method investigated antinutrients efficiently except L-DOPA.
