The Effect Of Different Processing Treatments On The Nutrients And Anti-Nutrients Of Pigeon Pea (Cajanus Cajan), Soybean (Glycine Max.) And Cowpea (Vigna Unguiculata).
ABSTRACT
Legumes belong to the family leguminosae. Cowpea, soybean
and pigeon pea are members of this family. They are both annual crops and
considered staple food for many communities in different areas of the world
(Enwere, 1998). Recognition has been given to the leguminous grains as
important sources of protein content of the diet of large part of the world's
population. Studies on legumes portion have show their potential for supplying
good quality food protein and minerals greater than oilseeds (Nworgu, 2004).
Pigeon pea (Cajanus Cajan) is an important grain legume crop of rainfed
agriculture in the semi tropical region (Nene et al, 1990). Starch and proteins
are the major constituents of pigeon pea. It contains high amount of vitamins
B, carotene and ascorbic acid. Pigeon peas are valuable source of protein,
minerals and vitamins and occupy very important place in human nutrition in
many developing countries (Sharma, 2009). Soybean (Glycine Max) belongs to the
family leguminosae and it originated from East Asia (Enwere, 1998). World
production of soybean has tremdously increased in the last century and reached
its present status of about l5Omillion metric tons. Soybean is mainly
cultivated for the seeds used commercially as human food and livestock feed and
for extraction of oil. The oil is produced almost entirely for human
consumption while the defatted meal is processed into soy products for modern
technology (Salunkhn et al, 1992). Cowpea (Vigna Unguiculata) is an annual
tropical herbaceous, short term grain legume which is now cultivated in many
tropical and sub-tropical countries. Cowpea is a good source of dietary
carbohydrate
