Evaluation of protein quality of peanut (Arachis hypogaea) cultivars using Tetrahymena pyriformis

Abstract

Protein quality of eight peanut (Arachis hypogaeaL

Nutritional characteristics of seed proteins in 15 Lathyrus species (fabaceae) from Southern Spain

“…These values were higher than the reported for other Mediterranean legumes, such as Lupinus (Pastor-Cavada et al, 2009). Theses values were also higher than those reported for other legumes such as peanut (between 1.45 and 1.76) (Ghuman, Mann, & Hira, 1990) or Vigna radiata (between 1.6 and 2.1) (Savage & Deo, 1989), cereals such as rice (1.98) (Wolzak et al, 1981), or wheat (1.59) (Wolzak et al, 1981), pseudocereals as A. cruentus (1.7) (Betschart et al, 1981), and different meat containing foods (Alsmeyer et al, 1974). The worst PER values were observed in L. latifolius, which were significantly different from those observed in L. angulatus, L. clymenum and L. ochrus (1, 2) for the three PER values.…”

Nutritional Characteristics of the Seed Protein in 23 Mediterranean Legumes

“…Calculated PER values were higher in tribe Trifolieae, especially in Trifolium repens L., and the two species of Medicago (Table 2). In general, values in tribe Trifolieae were within the range reported for cultivated legumes such as soybean [40] and chickpea [41], and higher than those reported for wild lupinus [42], peanut [43], and Vigna radiata (L.) R. Wilczek [44]. PER values were also higher than those reported for cereals such as rice and wheat [45].…”

Analytical nutritional characteristics of seed proteins in six wild Lupinus species from Southern Spain

“…Similar values to those reported here for Lupinus have been described for other legumes, such as soybean (2.57) (Wolzak et al, 1981) or chickpea (2.8) (Newman, Roth, Newman, & Lockerman, 1987). Lower PER values were observed in other legumes such as peanut (between 1.45 and 1.76) (Ghuman, Mann, & Hira, 1990), or Vigna radiata (between 1.6 and 2.1) (Savage & Deo, 1989).…”
