Abstract
The present investigation reports the contents of nutrients and antinutrients of 7 Mungbean x Ricebean (MR) interspecific lines, 13 Mungbean x Urdbean (MU) interspecific lines and 5 check varieties. SML 1808 exhibited the highest content of total soluble sugars (328.44 mg g−1) while SML 2011 exhibited the lowest (30.65 mg g−1). Mean values of reducing sugars, non-reducing sugars, sucrose, starch, amylose and amylopectin in interspecific lines were 3.62, 111.21, 26.34, 329.50, 163.24 and 166.23 mg g−1, respectively. Interspecific lines exhibited 1.96–2.54 mg g-1 phytate, 0.66–2.18 mg g-1 tannins, 120–2560 HU g-1 lectins, 7.50–23.46 TIU mg-1 trypsin inhibitor and 48.87–61.47 AIU g-1 amylase inhibitor activities. SML 1809 was rich in carbohydrates and tannins. SML 1820, SML 1827 and SML 2034 lines exhibited low phytic acid and trypsin inhibitor activity and higher sugar content. SML 2031 and SML 2032 (MR lines) and SML 1817, SML 2033 and SML 2034 (MU lines) were better in terms of their nutritional composition. Overall, SML 1809 and SML 2034 were found to be nutritionally promising lines as they exhibited the high carbohydrate content with low phytate and lectins concentration.
