Effect of steaming on fraction composition of the main nutrient in lupine seeds.

摘要

Use of lupine seeds in animal husbandry is limited by its alkaloid as well as high fibre content. The effect of steaming of chopped seeds on their nutrient value was studied in Russia in 2003. Lupine [Lupinus angustifolius] cvs. Snezhetae and Kristall were used for the study. Data on dry weight, crude fibre, fat and protein contents, alkaloid contents, carbohydrate and fatty acids contents are presented. The authors state that steaming of lupine seeds increased protein digestibility by 30%, decreased alkaloid contents by 14-25% and increased methylated fatty acids content 10-fold.
