Abstract
Studies were conducted on chickpeas (Cicer arietinum), horse gram (Dolichos biflorus) and cowpea (Vigna sinensis), processed by 6 methods: boiling, pressure cooking, puffing, frying, germinating, and germinating + cooking. Data are given for in-vitro protein and carbohydrate digestibilities. For chickpeas, no treatment significantly increased protein digestibility; frying reduced protein digestibility. For horse gram and cowpea most treatments improved protein digestibility; only frying reduced protein digestibility. Digestibility was highest for the germination/cooking treatment. Carbohydrate digestibility was poorer for cowpea than for the other 2 legumes. Pressure cooking and germination/cooking gave the highest carbohydrate digestibility; germination alone reduced carbohydrate digestibility.
