Physico-chemical and nutritional properties of kidney beans grown in different regions of Himachal Pradesh


Author(s): S Kimothi, YS Dhaliwal and HK Chaudhary

Abstract: The aim of the present work was to study the physico-chemical and nutritional characterization of six varieties (Kanchan, Jwala, Baspa, Him1, Triloki and Chamba Landrace) of kidney beans. Pulses are an essential component of our diet especially in developing world, information on their physical properties is needed for designing the machines, while cooking quality is important for consumer acceptance. Physical properties determined the length, and breadth of seeds varied in the range of 8.5–17.80 mm, 4.63-7.63 mm, respectively. The proximate, dietary fiber and anti-nutritional factors of kidney bean varieties grown in Himachal Pradesh were studied. The crude protein in the legumes was in the range of 21.35- 23.58 per cent, crude fat 1.94–2.76 per cent, crude fiber 3.57–4.96 per cent and crude ash 2.99–4.71 per cent. The anti-nutrients, tannin, phytic acid, and trypsin inhibitor were very high in Kanchan, Triloki, and Baspa varieties of Kidney Bean respectively.
