Abstract
Mungbeans (Vigna radiata), control and γ-irradiated at insect disinfestation dose levels (0.25 and 0.75 kGy) were germinated (0–6 days) and the qualitative and quantitative changes in soluble carbohydrates were studied in detail. The key flatulence-producing raffinose family oligosaccharides in mungbeans were degraded in the irradiated samples at the onset of the germination (0–2 days) compared to the control where it occurred much later (>4 days). However, the reducing sugars, mainly glucose, fructose and galactose, which are metabolised easily, were enhanced in the irradiated samples. At low dose (0.25 kGy), irradiation had no effect on germination and sprout length, indicating that irradiated beans are suitable for use as sprouted beans. These observations clearly indicate that γ-irradiation at insect disinfestation dose levels improved the digestibility and nutritional quality of mung beans by reducing the content of oligosaccharides responsible for intestinal gas production. © 1999 Society of Chemical Industry
