Extraction and Study of Seed Protein Concentrates of Some Legume Plants from the North Eastern UP

Rakesh Pandey, V. N. Pandey

Abstract :

Growing world population pushed the world towards hunger and malnutrition. Cheaper sources of proteins are becoming unavailable to the poor people. New sources of low cost proteins are required to meet the growing demand. The present study revealed the possibility of some new neglected legumes to cope with the emerging problem of protein deficiency. All the five plant species viz. Adenanthera pavonina, Caesalpinia pulcherrima, Delonix regia, Peltophorum ferrugineum and Pongamia pinnata showed the promising results in this direction.
