“…The green lentil measured is of a greater weight (139 per 1000 seeds) than the other cultivars. As to the sample weight, our data for red lentil (66.6 g/1000 seeds) are close to the above-mentioned data of Bhatty (1988) for the Canadian cultivar Laird but they are very different when compared to the data of Bhatta-charya et al (2005) determined for the cultivar lens esculenta. On the other side, the sample weight of bean is much greater than of lentil.…”

Food Sci., 26: 109-116.Geometrical features of lentil seeds (lens culinaris Medik) were analysed using the image analysis LUCIA system Ver. 3.52. The values of the weight of 1000 kernels, kernel density, specific volume, specific surface area, and surface area of 1000 kernels of red and green lentils were determined as 66.61 and 138.56 g, 1504.5 and 1376.4 kg/m 3 , 0.6647 and 0.7265 cm 3 /g, 0.594 and 0.579 m 2 /kg, 395.4 and 801.9 cm 2 , respectively. The lentil volume was simulated by an oblate spheroid and two sphere segments and the volumes obtained with both models were compared with that obtained by pycnometric method. Percentage differences of the two sphere segment approximation for red and green lentils were 4.4% and 4.2%, respectively. The height (thickness) of lentils was constant and practically the same with both varieties (2.6 mm) and therefore it was possible to simplify the geometrical models. Thus, 2D image analysis is suitable for a quick evaluation of the specific volume and surface area of grains on the basis of the projected area (equivalent diameter) without the measurement of the height. Image processing provides a simple, rapid, and non-invasive methodology to estimate lentil geometric features and engineering parameters.

“…Bhatty (1988) found the weight of a lentil sample of the Canadian cultivar Laird to be 71.43-76.92 g/1000 seeds, and of the cultivar Eston 37-40 g/1000 seeds. Bhattacharya et al (2005) determined the same characteristic with the cultivar lens esculenta as 30.8 g/1000 seeds.…”

“…Classiication of a food as a prebiotic requires scientiic demonstration that the ingredient (1 resists digestive processes in the upper part of the gastrointestinal tract, (2 is fermented by intestinal microbiota, and (3 selectively stimulates growth and/or activity of health promoting bacteria in that microbiotic population [ 5]. Lentils, on average, contain a total of 63% carbohydrates [36] and support healthful hindgut microlora [10]. Naturally occurring prebiotic carbohydrates in lentils are categorized into two major groups: (1 dietary iber and (2 sugar alcohols [10,5].…”

Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik. is a cool season food legume that is high in protein (20 30% and in a range of micronutrients (e.g., minerals, carotenoids, folates but very low in phytic acid. Recent research indicates that lentil contains a wide array of low-molecular weight carbohydrates (LMWC or prebiotic carbohydrates, such as mono-and disaccharides, rainose-family oligosaccharides (RFO , fructooligosaccharides (FOS , and sugar alcohols, and high-molecular weight resistant starches. Lentil provides more than 13 g of prebiotic carbohydrates per 100 g serving, and this level increases almost two-fold upon cooking, cooling, and reheating. In addition, prebiotic carbohydrate levels vary with lentil genotype and growing location/country. Intestinal microbiome and prebiotic studies suggest a prebiotic-rich, low-calorie diet can reduce the prevalence of obesity and related non-communicable diseases. Lentil thus represents a whole food source of prebiotics that can play a role in eforts to reduce obesity and non-communicable diseases. This chapter provides an overview of the current obesity-related health issues, holistic approaches to reduce obesity, worldwide lentil production, and the promise of pulses, mainly lentil, to be a whole food solution to combat global obesity. In addition, lentil's superior LMWC proile and the genetic potential for further enrichment of prebiotic carbohydrates are briely discussed.
