Abstract
Abstract: Among all Indian pulses Lathyrus sativus contains highest amount (26 to 30 g per 100g)of protein and is fairly rich in vitamins and minerals. This pulse crop is highly resistant to drought, insect-pest and plant diseases. The main objective of the present was to evaluate the protein, aminoacid profile and toxin β-Oxalyl-amino alanine (BOAA) content of Lathyrus sativus seeds collected from the six different district of Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh namely Bhopal, Rewa, Jabalpur, Sagar, Bilaspur and Raipur and to study the correlation between protein, aminoacids and the toxin β-Oxalyl-amino alanine (BOAA).Our results indicate that the Lathyrus seeds were found to be deficient in sulphur containing amino acids. An inverse relationship was observed between protein and toxin contents in all the six samples. Hence, simply by finding out protein content any particular variety can be declared as low BOAA (toxin)containing variety. Another salient finding was that the sample from low rainfall regions viz. Rewa, Raipur and Jabalpur showed higher concentration of BOAA and low concentration of protein. Keywords: Lathyrus sativus, BOAA
