Nutritional Evaluation in Six New Variety Breeder Seeds of Pisum sativum

Abstract

Biological evaluation is an essential step in the nutritional studies besides the quantitative estimation of proteins in food stuffs. Proteins present in various food stuffs accounts for their nutritive value. On account of different amino acid composition, due to presence on various anti nutritive factors, the nutritional quality may be reduced. The intake and utilization of food are directly correlated to growth production, repair, maintenance, resistance to diseases and all other biological process occurring in animals. The primary purpose of dietary proteins is to fulfill the protein requirement of the body and the biological evaluation of dietary proteins is the essential step in nutritional evaluation. Hence In this study new variety breeder seeds (Arkel, Pusa pragati, IPF-99-25, JP-885, MM-15 and JM-6) of Pisum sativum are studied for nutritional studies by feeding on white albino rats.
