Abstract
Maximum phytase activity in four legume species, lentils, chick peas, broad beans and runner beans, was reached after 6 days of germination for chick peas and 8 days for the rest of them. In all legumes, the increase in phytase activity was accompanied by a concomitant decrease in phytate content. After 10 days of germination the decrease in phytate varied from 83% in broad beans up to 64% in runner beans.
