Title Dietary fiber and its constituents in desi and kabuli Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) cultivars
 
Creator Singh, U
 
Subject Chickpea
 
Description The concentrations of crude fiber (CF), acid detergent
fiber (ADF), neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and dietary fiber
(DF) were significantly higher in the seed and dhal of desi
cultivars than in those of kabuli cultivars, except for dhal
(dehusked dry split cotyledons) CF and ADF which were the
same in the two seed types. This indicated that the levels
of these fiber constituents in whole seeds are determined
mainly by the husk. In both desi and kabuli types, dhal was
richer in hemicellulose (NDF-ADF) than in the husk whereas
cellulose (CF) and lignin (ADF-CF) were mostly located in
the husk. Hemicellulose constituted a large proportion
(about 55%) of the total dhal dietary fiber of both the
types. Whole seed and dhal of desi cultivars contained much
higher amounts of cellulose and hemicellulose than those of
kabuli types which may be disadvantageous for utilization.
