Millets are nutritionally superior indigenous staple crops packed with high protein, vitamins, and minerals. However, anti-nutrients such as phytic acid, tannins, polyphenols present in the millets tend to reduce bio-accessibility of minerals (iron zinc), due which millet diets greatly compromised. Although most cereals, wheat flour, brown rice, barley, contain acid a level far more than that m...

Legume seeds, particularly those of the Phaseolus lunatus (L.), are an important source vegetable protein, fiber and micronutrients in diet Ivorian population. However, these seeds contain anti-nutritive factors that limit their use. This study allowed us to evaluate effect cooking time on nutritional anti-nutritional parameters (L.) bean for a better utilization seeds. Red black harvested at s...

in this study cell wall carbohydrates with kit method and  excreta viscosity  of 13 elite  triticale varieties  was measured. the results showed, the average and range changes values of anti-nutritional compounds in the thirteen varieties of triticale included; total ß-glucan, soluble ß-glucan, insoluble ß-glucan, total arabinoxylane, soluble fiber, insoluble fiber and total soluble and insolub...

Vetiver grass was harvested at 4, 6 and 8-week old re-growth. The chemical composition and quantitative analyses of anti-nutritional components were determined. The result showed that dry matter and fiber content increased with age while crude protein, mineral content and anti-nutritional components reduced with age. It was concluded that age of re-growth significantly affect the nutrient and a...
