Molecular Diversity in Pulse Seed Starch and Complex Carbohydrates and Its Role in Human Nutrition and Health
2010-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Seven major pulse crops account for approximately equal to 90% of global pulse production. Pulses are an important component of human nutrition as sources of proteins, carbohydrates, and minor nutrients such as vitamins and minerals. The major pulse seed storage polysaccharide is starch, which is made up of highly branched amylopectin and sparsely branched amylose. Pulse starches generally contain a higher concent...
