Carbohydrates in Grain Legume Seeds: Improving Nutritional Quality and Agronomic Characteristics

Carbohydrates in Grain Legume Seeds: Improving Nutritional Quality and Agronomic Characteristics

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The compounds making up the dry weight of seeds play a major role in determining the nutritional quality, and ultimately the uses of the economic value of the seed. The carbohydrate fraction can be divided into starch fibre and soluble carbohydrates. This book covers the chemistry,
nutritional value, physiology, processing and breeding/biotechnology of carbohydrates in grain legume seeds. There is currently no book available which covers the strategies for improving carbohydrates in grain legumes which takes into account both nutritional and agricultural requirements. This
books fills that gap.
