The nutritive quality of legume foodstuffs produced under dry growing conditions

The nutritive quality and trypsin inhibitor activity were investigated in early, mid-early and late maturing soybean cultivars, in white and coloured dry beans, and in dry pea cultivars, grown under irrigated and non-irrigated conditions. The enzyme inhibition was too low to be measured in dry peas. The trypsin inhibitor activity, independent of growing conditions and ripening time, was greater in soybeans than in beans. Investigations into the effect of drought demonstrated that trypsin inhibitor activity (TIA) significantly increased in both soybeans and beans grown without irrigation, except in white bean lines selected for low TIA. The nutritive quality of both species was improved by irrigation. The oil accumulation decreased in the seed of mid-early soybean cultivars grown under dry conditions.
