Studies on desi and kabuli chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) cultivars. 3. Mineral and trace elements composition

Abstract

Table I), was below their detection limit. All the materials tested except the beverages were analyzed for recovery of spiked levels of M e a 0 and Me2S02. In all cases including spiked blanks, the recovery was in the range of 90-100%. The reproducibility of the method was found to be in the range of 10-15%. Me2S0 and Me#02 were not detected in the solvents or distilled water blanks. The detection limit of Me2S0 and Me2S02 was 1.2 ng at a signal-to-noise ratio of 2. This was similar to the value determined by Andreae (1980) of 1 ng (S) as Me2S0. When a 50-g sample is used, the reported detection limit resulted in being able to detect 0.05 ppm of Me2S0 and Me2S02. Any detectable value below this level was reported as a trace. For confirmation of the analysis of Me2S0, samples were sent to Dr. B. F. Hrutfiord at the University of Washington, Seattle, WA. Their concentrations of Me2S0 in canned corn 2, tomato paste 2, and raspberry jam were determined to be 0.16,2.0, and 2.6 ppm, respectively. This is in agreement with the values of 0.14,3.7, and 1.8 ppm, respectively, determined in this study (Table I). The limit of detection determined by Dr. Hrutfiord was 1.2 ng of M e 8 0 with a signal-bnoise ratio of 3. Mass spectrometry was used to authenticate the presence of Me2S0.

Physicochemical, functional and cooking properties of under explored legumes, Canavalia of the southwest coast of India

“…The crude protein of C. maritima and C. cathartica were higher than common pulses reported by Gupta and Wagle (1978), Jambunathan and Singh (1980), Nwokolo (1987) and Nwokolo and Oji (1985). The protein was also higher than Canavalia ensiformis (30.62%), Canavalia gladiata (27.48%) (Rajaram & Janardhanan, 1992) and C. maritima (27.3%) (Abbey & Ibeh, 1987), Neonotonia wightii (20.6%) (Viswanathan, Thangadurai, & Ramesh, 2001).…”

Alternative Food/Feed Perspectives of an Underutilized Legume Mucuna pruriens var. Utilis—A Review

“…utilis are found to contain high level of crude protein (26.25-29.6%) [29][30][31]. This value seems to be higher than that of commonly consumed pulses like chickpea, pigeon pea, green gram, black gram, and red gram [32][33][34]. Siddhuraju et al [2] reported that the dehulled seeds exhibit higher protein content (30.3-33.5%) than the whole beans (24.3-29.8%).…”

Genotypic diversity in physico-chemical, pasting and gel textural properties of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)

“…The Desi cultivars have small and wrinkled seeds with brown, black or green colour (Kaur & Singh, 2005). Significant differences in these two groups have been observed with regard to their seed coat percentage, crude fibre content, mineral, trace element composition, polyphenolic content and in vitro digestibility (Chavan, Kadam, & Salunkhe, 1986;Jambunathan & Singh, 1981). Chavan et al (1986) related the concentration of crude fibre with seed coat content.…”
