Protein content and amino acid profile of some wild leguminous seeds

D Prakash et al. Plant Foods Hum Nutr. 1988.

Abstract

Seeds of 28 wild growing legumes of India were analysed for their protein content and amino acid compositions. A wide variation was observed in protein contents (18.3 to 50.9%). The amino acid composition and protein content of some of these seeds were in close proximity to that of soybean; however, some legumes registered a higher level of certain amino acids and protein as compared to the latter.
