Genotypic abundance of carotenoids and polyphenolics in the hull of field pea (Pisum sativum L.).

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Consumption of pulse crops, including field pea, is considered effective for a healthy diet. Hulls (seed coats) play an important role for protection of the cotyledon and embryo, but also as mediating positive effects on health outcomes. The biochemical attributes of field pea hulls were thus assessed to determine the occurrence of specific phytochemicals and their genotypic variability. RESULTS:...
