Abstract

Pulses constitute a cheap source of protein for human nutrition. Consumption of raw pulses without proper cooking may prove toxic due to presence of anti nutritional factors. Cooking and germination improve the nutritive value of pulses, partly by destroying or eliminating anti nutritional factors including trypsin inhibitor and hemagglutinin activities. Inoptimal conditions of processing may, however, be detrimental.
