“…Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata), also known as black-eyed peas, southern peas, and crowder peas is a kind of pulse grain which is the most widely produced pulse grain behind common dry beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) and chickpea (Cicer arietinum) [50,51]. It can grows well in an area which usually usuitable for most other legumes because of its heat and drought tolerance, making cowpea as an environment and climate-change friendly crop.…”

“…10,12,13,15−17 Legume grains, besides being a great source of nutrients, contain different types of antioxidants and compounds beneficial to human health. 18,19 Edible legume seeds and sprouts are good sources of phytochemicals that reduce the risk of developing oxidative stress-associated diseases and agerelated functional decline. 20,21 Recently, germinated food consumption has been suggested to attenuate oxidative stress through increases of antioxidant capacity in plasma and antioxidant enzyme activities.…”

“…27,28 Phenolic compounds have been extensively studied due to their antioxidant and free radical scavenging properties; they have beneficial properties in humans or animals, such as antihypertensive and antibacterial actions and anticarcinogenic properties in vitro and animal models. 18,22,27 Although phenolic compounds represent the archetype of compounds that promote health, melatonin is relevant due to its biological activities and its excellent bioavailability. 29,30 Several studies have recently shown how germination also induces an enhancement of melatonin content in seeds and sprouts, 31−33 contributing thereby to the beneficial properties of germinated seeds.…”

Germination is a cheap and effective way to improve the nutritional value and quality of legumes by enhancing their digestibility and increasing their load of bioactive compounds. − Sprouting promotes significant changes on legume phenolic composition, mainly due to endogenous enzyme activation and complex metabolism of seeds during this process. , Phenolic compounds have been extensively studied due to their antioxidant and free radical scavenging properties; they have beneficial properties in humans or animals, such as antihypertensive and antibacterial actions and anticarcinogenic properties in vitro and animal models. ,, Although phenolic compounds represent the archetype of compounds that promote health, melatonin is relevant due to its biological activities and its excellent bioavailability. , Several studies have recently shown how germination also induces an enhancement of melatonin content in seeds and sprouts, − contributing thereby to the beneficial properties of germinated seeds.…”

This study assesses the impact of melatonin enriched watering on the germination of lentils (Lens culinaris L.) and kidney beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). The melatonin levels in lentil and bean sprouts measured by HPLC-MS/MS were more important than those found in other legumes and sprouts, being higher in lentil (1090 ng/g) than in kidney bean (529 ng/g) sprouts. This alternative germination promoted a significant increase of the development of radicles in comparison with the traditional germination. The decreases in the phenolic load were less accentuated than previously observed (lentil sprouts displayed 394 mg gallic acid equivalents (GAE)/100 g of dry weight (DW)), probably due to the protective effect of melatonin. The antioxidant capacity (oxygen radical absorbing capacity assay) increased in these sprouts, reaching 85 and 56 μmol of Trolox equivalents/g DW in lentils and beans, respectively. Hence, the melatonin-enriched foods exhibited potent free radical scavenger and antioxidant functions that may be used as a nutritional strategy to alleviate and prevent chronic and age-related diseases.

“…Soil acidity can limit normal growth and development of plant roots (Haling et al, 2011). The root of cowpea grows on the topsoil, however, in times of drought, they develop a taproot to aid in nutrients uptake (Jati et al, 2013).…”
