The effect of fermentation with varying temperatures and time periods on the nutritive value of Moth bean was studied. Results indicated that at 30 °C, protein digestibility increased from 60% in the non-processed moth bean to 77%, 78% and 80% and at 35 °C, increased to 81%, 83% and 85% following 12, 18 and 24 h of fermentation (controlled) period, respectively. Fermentation also caused an appreciable enhancement (96-133%) in starch digestibility with increase in period and temperature of fermentation. Fermentation of moth bean resulted in 24-34% reduction in phytic acid content at 30 °C and 33-42.5% at 35 °C. Polyphenol content was reduced by 42%, 48% and 51% at 30 °C and by 44%, 49% and 54% at 35 °C after 12, 18 and 24 h of fermentation period, respectively. Prolonging the period of fermentation from 12 to 18 and 24 h at 30 °C also caused a loss in TIA.
