Oligosaccharide Content of 20 Varieties of Cowpeas in Nigeria

Abstract: Mature dry seeds of 20 varieties of cowpeas (Vigna unguiculata) grown in Nigeria were analyzed for their sucrose, raffinose and stachyose content. The dry seeds were ground into powder; extracted with 80% ethanol and-the extract analyzed by paper chromatography using a mixture of n-butanol, ethanol, water and ammonia solution 8:1:2:1 v/v). The results show a progressive decrease in raffinose and stachyose content with dehulling and cooking and an increase in sucrose level after cooking. The average content o… Show more

“…The processing (soaking and germination) and cooking methods (ordinary cooking and autoclaving) caused slight decreased of sucrose content of soybean seeds Giza 21 and Giza 35. Onigbinde and Akinyele (1983) reported that the sucrose levels of raw and dehulled cowpea were 0.87% and 0.88%, respectively. In general, the soybean seeds, Giza 21 and Giza 35 are considered as good sources of sugar fractions.…”

“…Onigbinde & Akinyele (1983) reported a 46% reduction in raffinose and a 50% reduction in stachyose contents after boiling for 40 min. Ibrahim, Habiba, Shatta, & Embaby (2002) reported that cooking in boiling water for 40 min with a water-to-seed ratio of 10:1 (w/w) resulted in a 100% loss of raffinose and an 81% loss of stachyose.…”

“…Mulimani et al, (1997), reported that cooking of dry whole soybean resulted in decrease of RFOs. These reductions may be due to heat induced hydrolysis of the oligosaccharides to simple disaccharides and monosaccharides as postulated by Onigbinde and Akinyele (1983). Oligosaccharides of RFOs are degraded by -galactosidase.…”
