Variation in Nutritional and Anti-nutritional Properties of Chickpea Cultivars Grown in Kalyan Karnataka Region

Background: Chickpea cicer arietinum L. grown globally as good source of protein. Chickpea has high phenolic, flavonoid content present in seed and mainly in seed coat. Colored desi type has high phenolic and flavonoid content compare with kabuli type. The present work was to evaluate all ten chickpea genotypes for biochemical parameters which help to select superior genotypes for further crop production. Methods: Ten chickpea eight (desi) and two (kabuli) type were analyzed for nutritional and anti-nutritional properties. The study was examined for total protein content, total free amino acid content, total phenolic content, total flavanoid content and total tannin content. Result: All ten genotypes grown in the Kalyan Karnataka Region was screened for biochemical parameters. The present work determines the significance of nutritional quality of all ten genotypes. The result found desi type has high significance with total protein content of A-1 at 27%, SA-1 at 26%, total free amino acid content of A-1 at 6.69 mg/g, SA-1 at 6.29 mg/g, total phenolic content of A-1 at 48.39 mg of GAE/g , SA-1 at 41.98 mg of GAE/g, total flavonoid content of A-1 at 44.35 mg of QE/g, SA-1 at 38.11 mg of QE/g and total tannin content of A-1 at 12.35 mg of TQE/g, SA-1 at 10.98 mg of TQE/g with new released genotype KCD-11 has total free amino acid content 5.89 mg/gm of seeds, total protein content of 25.4%, phenolic content of 44.98 mg GAE/gm of seeds, flavonoid content of 39.09 mg QE/gm of seeds and tannin content of 11.09 mg TQE/gm of seeds compare with kabuli type have total free amino acid content of MNK-1 at 3.05 mg/g and KAK-2 at 4.0 mg/g , total protein content of MNK-1 at 21.34%, KAK-2 at 20.06%, phenolic content of MNK-1 at 41.11 mg GAE/gm of seeds, KAK-2 at 39.88 mg GAE/gm of seeds, flavonoid content of MNK-1 at 30.89 mg QE/gm of seeds, KAK-2 at 26.1 mg QE/gm of seeds and tannin content of MNK-1 at 10.35 mg TQE/gm of seeds, KAK-2 at 8.35 mg TQE/gm of seeds. This is the first report for nutritional and anti-nutritional property of all ten chickpea genotypes. The result of the study found that A-1, SA-1 and KCD-11 are highly significant and superior with other chickpea genotype.
