“…Albumins are known to be rich in sulphur-amino acid and other EAA (Baudoin and Maquet, 1999). The true protein content exceeded than that of winged bean (15.2%) (Viswanathan et al, 2001), sword bean (20.8%) and Cassia floribunda (16.3-17.7%) (Vadivel and Janardhanan, 2001). The amino acid profile of roasted seeds (Table 3) was better when compared to pressure-cooked seeds which was similar to the observations of Bressani et al (1987) within the processed seeds of Canavalia ensiformis.…”

“…Vitabosa seeds showed higher moisture content and lower hydration rate than soybeans. However, the moisture result was very high when compared with that of other leguminous crops (VIDIVEL;JANARHANEN, 2001;CHAVAN et al, 1999;ALETOR;ALADETIMI, 1989). This might be a reflection of the relative hardness and impermeability of the seed coat.…”

Physicochemical characteristics and functional properties of vitabosa flour (Mucuna deeringiana) and soybean flour (Glycine max) were determined. Oil absorption capacity was higher in vitabosa. Water absorption capacity was higher in soy and it was affected by the change in the ionic strength of the medium. Emulsifying Activity (EA) decreased with increasing concentration of flour, while Emulsifying Stability (ES) showed an increased. EA and ES of flours have more ionic strength in the range between 0.0 and 0.4 M, but it is reduced afterwards with the higher concentration of NaCl. Foaming stability varied with the concentration of flour solution reaching maximum values of 39 and 33% for vitabosa and soybean, respectively at 10% flour concentration.Vitabosa had the best foaming capacity (56% to 0.6 M) compared with soybeans (47% to 0.4 M). Maximum capacity of gelation was observed in vitabosa at 10% flour concentration. Increases in ionic strength of the flour solution, at low salt concentrations (<0.4 M), improved the gelation of flours.

“…Several authors have pointed out issues of seed dormancy, poor crop establishment, low yield and poor storage, susceptibility to pests and diseases and the presence of anti-nutrient factors (ANFs) [61][62][63][64]. Although cultivating low input crops like NUS in marginal lands presents huge advantages, parallel disadvantages may have elevated the promotion of major crop species within smallholder farming systems.…”

Status of Underutilised Crops in South Africa: Opportunities for Developing Research Capacity

Underutilised crops represent an important component of agro-biodiversity with potential to contribute to climate change adaptation, food security and sovereignty in poor rural areas. However, despite emerging research interest, they continue to occupy the peripheries of mainstream agriculture. There is a need to consolidate the gains made and propose a coherent strategy for translating underutilised crops into mainstream agriculture. The status of underutilised crops in South Africa (past, present and on-going research) was reviewed with a view to identifying existing gaps, opportunities and challenges for developing future research capacity. The review confirmed that several underutilised crops are drought tolerant, adapted to low levels of water use and thus suitable for cultivation in most marginal production areas typical of semi-arid and arid cropping systems. In addition, several are nutrient dense and could be used to improve dietary diversity among poor rural people. These characteristics make them ideal for inclusion in climate change adaptation and promotion of food sovereignty. There is need for a paradigm shift away from practices that have promoted a few major crops to an agro-ecology based land use classification system that recognises diversity and strengthens food networks. There is a need to identify those underutilised crops that show the greatest potential for success and can be fitted into semi-arid and arid cropping systems and prioritise them for future research, development and innovation.
