Nutritional and Food Composition Survey of Major Pulses Toward Healthy, Sustainable, and Biofortified Diets

The world's food demand is increasing rapidly due to fast population growth that has posed a challenge meeting the requirements of nutritionally balanced diets. Pulses could play major role in human diet combat these challenges and provide nutritional physiological benefits. such as chickpeas, green gram, peas, horse beans, lentils, black etc., are rich sources protein (190–260 g kg −1 ), carbohydrates (600–630 −1) , dietary fibers, bioactive compounds. There many health benefits phytochemicals present pulses, like flavonoids, phenolics, tannins, phytates, saponins, lectins, oxalates, phytosterols peptides, enzyme inhibitors. Some them have anti-inflammatory, anti-ulcerative, anti-microbial, anti-cancer effects. Along with these, pulses also vitamins minerals. In this review, we highlight potential global systems diets, their value, benefits, prospects for biofortification pulses. composition databases respect effect processing techniques, approaches improvement profile elaborated.
