Seed quality and nutritional goals in pea, lentil, faba bean and chickpea breeding

Abstract: The chemical and nutritional attributes of pea, lentil, faba bean and chickpea seeds are discussed. Positive aspects include the relatively large concentrations of total protein and of lysine, making these species excellent supplements to cereal grain diets. Most food legumes decrease cholesterol levels and blood glucose, but the chemical components responsible have yet to be established. Detrimental factors include the antiphysiological substances, tannins and the deficiency of sUlphur-amino acids, the latter… Show more

“…Similar results have been published in previous studies with faba beans, peas and chickpeas, suggesting that their lower nutritional value is due to the antinutritional factors present in the seed, particularly trypsin inhibitors (Huisman et al, 1990;Grosjean et al, 1992). The presence of trypsin and chymotrypsin inhibitors in chickpea seeds could be at least partially responsible, since they can inhibit digestive enzymes (Bressani and Elias, 1988;Viveros et al, 2001). Rubio et al (1995) and Cavallé de Moya et al (2003) also attributed this effect in rats to an excessive secretion of endogenous nitrogen by the use of legumes.…”

“…All silver nanoparticle concentrations differed from each other in terms of induced seed protein contents. During the 2 nd growing season, the highest seed protein content was found for plants treated with 60 ppm AgNPs (104.49 µg g -1 FW), followed by plants treated with 90 ppm (97.58 µg g -1 FW), 30 ppm (91.41 µg g -1 FW) and 0 ppm (81.78 µg g -1 The protein concentration in peas generally ranges from 15.5 to 39 %, depending on the varieties (Bressani and Elias 1988). Jabeen et al (1988) studied different pea cultivars in Pakistan and recorded 20 to 22% of protein, since environmental factors affected the cellular protein pattern both qualitatively and quantitatively.…”
