Abstract
In connection with the problem of gastrointestinal gas (flatus) production associated with the consumption of legumes, the authors had previously studied, using rats, the influence of germination of legumes on their flatus-forming properties [see Nutrition Reports International (1975) 12, 387]. This present paper reports an in vitro study with Cl. perfringens type A which examined gas production by ungerminated and germinated (for 48 h at 25-27 degree C after soaking in water for 4 h) chickpea (Cicer arietinum) and greengram (Phaseolus aureus) and by 2 fractions (starches and ethanol-soluble sugars) extracted from the legumes. The study involved incubation of Cl. perfringens in a dextrose-free thioglycollate medium with the powdered legumes (or the extracted fractions) at 45 degree C for less than48 h in tubes layered with liquid paraffin and measurement of the rate of gas production. Results indicated that germinated legumes produced less gas than ungerminated legumes and that gas production was always greater from chickpea than from greengram. It is suggested that the greater gas production by chickpea may be due to its higher oligosaccharide content. Studies of the 2 fractions indicated that both may be involved in gas production.
