Processing methods for reducing alpha-galactosides in pulses.
Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition 2018 September 11
Pulses are an excellent source of protein and dietary fiber and are consumed around the world. Their consumption has been recommended as part of a healthy diet. However, they contain various antinutrients such as tannins and trypsin inhibitors, as well as indigestible carbohydrates called alpha-galactosides. These oligosaccharides are fermented by the microorganisms in the gut, producing gas and causing flatulence in healthy individuals. While this flatulence is undesirable (and results in their low acceptance in the Western diet), alpha-galactosides have also been hypothesized to increase susceptibility to bowel diseases, and their presence in the gut worsens the symptoms of patients with irritable bowel syndrome. The elimination of alpha-galactosides by breeding is difficult as they play a vital role in maintaining seed viability through periods of drought and cold. There is a critical need to evaluate the various post-harvest processing methods, and their effect on alpha-galactoside removal to facilitate commercialization. This paper reviews the effectiveness of methods and processing conditions in alpha-galactoside removal from a variety of pulses.
