Screening of selected vegetable soybean genotypes for nutrient and antinutrient factors

Ten vegetable soybean genotypes along with the control cultivar GC-00209-4-1-1 were evaluated for nutrient and antinutrient component. The nutrients such as protein, fat, crude fibre, ash, calcium, iron, phosphorus, vitamin C and dietary fiber and antinutrient such as phytates, tannins and trypsin inhibitors were estimated on dried sample. Moisture ranged from 68.90–72.10 per cent, protein 12.32–14.96 g, fat 4.24–6.16g, ash 1.49–1.74g, fiber 1.89–2.69 g, carbohydrate 5.88–7.93g and energy from 119–139 Kcal respectively. Minerals such as calcium, iron and phosphorous and vitamin C were in the range of 54.24–67.71 mg, 173.2–231.5 mg, 2.68–3.70 mg, 15.90–20. 85 mg. Total and insoluble dietary fiber was highest in AGS-436, whereas AGS435 was recorded highest soluble dietary fiber. Antinutrients such as phytate, tannin and trypsin inhibitor were least in AGS-436, AGS-439 and AGS-434 respectively. Based on nutrient and antinutrient composition, genotypes AGS-434, AGS-435, AGS-436 and AGS-439 were superior to control cultivar.
