S. Bishnoi et al., EFFECT OF DOMESTIC PROCESSING AND COOKING METHODS ON PHYTIC ACID AND POLYPHENOL CONTENTS OF PEA CULTIVARS (PISUM-SATIVUM), Plant foods for human nutrition, 45(4), 1994, pp. 381-388
All the pea varieties differed significantly (p < 0.05) in their phyti
c acid content. The field pea cultivars had significantly (p < 0.05) h
igher levels of phytic acid and polyphenols than those of vegetable pe
a varieties. All the domestic processing and cooking methods could red
uce the contents of phytic acid and polyphenols but germination for 48
hours seemed to have a marked lowering effect on the levels of these
antinutrients in peas.
