Abstract

The carbohydrate fractions of (i) Bengal gram (Cicer arietinum), (ii) black gram (Phaseolus mungo), (iii) red gram (Cajanus cajan) and (iv) green gram (Phaseolus aureus) were analysed for chemical composition according to AOAC procedures. Results of analysis of chemical composition for (i)-(iv) resp., were: % starch, 71.3, 74.4, 69.0 and 70.8; % moisture, 9.1, 9.6, 8.7 and 13.0; % protein, 3.8, 2.4, 2.9 and 2.4; % ash, 3.2, 2.2, 3.9 and 2.5; and % crude fibre, 1.6, 2.2, 1.7 and 1.3. Results of digestibility studies show that of the 4 legumes, (iv) was the most digestible.
