Antinutritional factors of chickpea and pigeonpea and their removal by processing

Abstract: Protease inhibitors, amylase inhibitors, phytolectins, polyphenols, and oligosaccarides are important antinutritional factors of chickpea and pigeonpea. Research on these factors is reviewed and compared to those in other grain legumes. Both chickpea and pigeonpea are consumed in various forms as processed food. The effects of such processing practices as cooking, germination, and fermentation to reduce the levels of these antinutritional factors are also discussed.

“…The tannin content of processed seeds decreased significantly, relative to the raw samples. Tannins are water soluble polyphenolic compounds located mainly in the seed coat (Kumar et al, 1979;Singh, 1988). The reduction may be due to leaching and or the effect of heat on heat labile tannins contained in T. africana seeds.…”

Among food legumes, pigeon pea is a valuable source of protein, minerals and vitamins and occupies a very important place in human nutrition in many developing countries (Singh, 1988). The method of dehulling of legumes significantly affects the formation of broken and powdered particles and in the case of pigeon pea it varies between 9 -24.6% for broken and 5.5 -6.1% for powder (Singh et al, 1992).…”

“…In comparison to soybean (Glycine max L.), peas (Pisum sativum L.) and common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), chickpea offers less problems as far as these factors are concerned (Singh, 1988). Little research has been published on the nutritional value of chickpeas for growing chickens.…”
