Bioactive proteins and peptides in pulse crops: Pea, chickpea and lentil

Appraisal of maize germplasm for identification of nutritionally rich nutraceutical genotypes

“…Therefore, the high tannin content of enlisted genotypes proves to be a negative trait of these genotypes (Table S3). Protease inhibitors have been reported to form stable complexes with proteolytic enzymes, thus reducing the hydrolysis of dietary proteins leading to decreased amino acid absorption and de novo protein synthesis (Roy et al 2010). The lower protease inhibitor activity of CML266, LM11, I137, CML32 and CML134 could be attributed as a constructive trait for making these genotypes superior than others (Table S3).…”

Influence of Various Levels of Zinc and Sulphur on Storage Proteins and Protein Quality of Lentil (Lens culinaris) Varieties

“…The globulin and albumins of pea, soybean, French bean, chickpea etc. have been extensively studied both qualitatively and quantitatively (Roy et al, 2010;Wang et al, 2008;Boye et al, 2010). But literature on lentil regarding this aspect of protein quality is rare.…”

Prevalence of Fusarium Wilt of Chickpea in the Agro-ecological condition of Undulating Red and Lateritic zone of West Bengal, India

“…Six countries including India, Australia, Turkey, Myanmar, Pakistan and Ethiopia account for about 90% of world chickpea production. Chickpea is high in protein, low in fat and sodium, cholesterol free and is an excellent source of both soluble and insoluble fiber, as well as complex carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals especially calcium, phosphorous, iron and magnesium (Roy et al, 2010). It stresses by several biotic and abiotic factors.…”
