In the present study, the effect of soaking in sodium bicarbonate solution + autoclaving treatment on the levels of nutritional and antinutritional constituents of seeds of a South Indian underutilized food legume, velvet bean (VB) (Mucuna pruriens [L.] DC. var. utilis [Wall. ex Wight] Baker ex Burck) was investigated. This treatment was found to cause a significant reduction on the levels of various antinutritional compounds such as total free phenolics (82-83%), tannins (74-84%), L-Dopa (83-85%), phytic acid (75-78%), oligosaccharides such as raffinose (76-82%), stachyose (77%) and verbascose (75-76%), hemagglutinating activity (71-75%), trypsin inhibitor activity (81-82%), and alpha-amylase inhibitor activity (82-84%) of both white and black accessions of VB seeds without affecting their nutritional quality. It also resulted in significant improvement on the in vitro protein digestibility (18.7-20.1%) of VB seeds. Adoption of such viable processing method will enhance the utilization of VB seeds as an alternative/additional protein source for both human beings and animals.
