1994
Bravo, L. | Grados, N. | Saura-Calixto, F.
The composition of mesquite pods (Prosopis pallida L) (PP), a legume cultivated in the large desert areas of Peru, was studied. These fruits have at the present time very little practical or commercial use. Taking into account the morphological and compositional similarities to Mediterranean carob pods (Ceratonia siliqua L) (CS), which are widely used in the food industry, some applications of PP are considered. PP shows better nutritional properties than CS, mainly owing to its lower polyphenolic content and higher protein digestibility.
