Perennial legumes as a source of ingredients for healthy food: proximate, mineral and phytoestrogen composition and antibacterial activity

et al. 2017

Perennial legumes have been used as edible or medicinal plants since ancient times. The focus of the current study are perennial legumes-Trifolium pratense L., T. medium L., Medicago sativa L., M. lupulina L., Onobrychis viciifolia Scop., Astragalus glycyphyllos L. and A. cicer L.-of branching stage as a potential source of value-added ingredients for healthy food. Freeze-dried samples were analysed for proximal composition, mineral, isoflavone and coumestrol contents as well as for antimicrobial activity. Legumes were protein-rich (23.0/100 g on average). Mineral contents in 100 g of plant dry matter averaged: K 2.64 g, Ca 1.81 g, Mg 0.475 g, P 0.324 g, Zn 2.76 mg and Fe 37.8 mg. According to the total amount of phytoestrogens, the species ranked as follows: T. medium (34.4 mg/g)) T. pratense) O. viciifolia C M. sativa = A. cicer = M. lupulina C A. glycyphyllos (0.207 mg/ g). Extracts of legumes, especially that of O. viciifolia, exhibited noticeable potency to inhibit the growth of Grampositive and Gram-negative bacteria. Perennial legumes of branching stage can be used as protein, mineral and phytoestrogen rich source for food ingredients and supplements.
