Characterization of in vitro antioxidant activity, bioactive components, and nutrient digestibility in pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan ) as influenced by germination time and temperature

Germination of legumes is potential bioprocessing technique to improve the nutrient digestibility and enhancement of bioactive components. The present investigation studies the effects of different germination conditions on the bioactive components, antioxidant activity, and in vitro nutrient digestibility of pigeon pea. Results obtained indicated that increase in germination time and temperature modifies the bioactive components and nutritional...
