Green gram (Vigna radiata), also known as mung bean is a minor crop legume that is less known compared to other legumes such as cowpea and groundnut, which have more recognition in the world market (Aremu, 2011). Although it is widely cultivated in …

Green Gram is an upright hairy bean plant which can reach up to 1 m tall. The leaves have 3 leaflets and are dark green. The leaves are on long leaf stalks. There are oval stipules at the base of the leaf. It has small flowers that are pale yellow in colour and occur in bunches of 10–20 on the ends of long hairy stalks.

2023年12月1日 · Mung bean (Vigna radiata (L.) R. Wilczek), commonly referred to as Green gram (Chen et al., 2022) is an ancient cultivated legume, native to Asia [1]. Domestication of it took place more than 4000 years ago in India [1]. From India, mung bean was transferred to other Southern and Northern Asian regions (Chen et al., 2022).

Green gram has prebiotic and nutraceutical properties. It contains an appreciable amount of oligosaccharides that are capable of enhancing the growth of beneficial gut microbiota. Different researchers already developed functional foods such as mung bean milk and non-diary probiotic drinks from green gram.

2024年12月1日 · This investigation aimed to study the concentration of different ANFs in 13 green gram (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek) cultivars and explore how varietal differences affect their levels. Ten improved, and three local cultivars of green gram were evaluated for antinutritional content using different spectrophotometric assays.

2023年12月26日 · The green gram varieties differed significantly (P < 0.05) for proximate and mineral content. From the results, they contain 62.5 to 84.6 g/kg of moisture, 28.3–37.4 g/kg of ash, 21.9–3.08 g/kg of fat, 484.6–535.7 g/kg of carbohydrate, 228.7–277.6 g/kg of protein, and 118.3–157.9 g/kg of dietary fibre.

Among various wild and useful Vigna species, Vigna stipulacea (Lam) Kuntz., is an important one with tremendous potential to be utilized in the Vigna improvement pro-gramme. The genome size of V. stipulacea is ~445.1 Mbp [10], and it belongs to the second-ary gene pool of the cultivated green gram and black gram.

Raw green gram, when fed as a sole source of protein promoted an extremely low growth rate, (13.2 g/4 weeks) and PER (0.77) in rats. Cooking slightly improved the nutritive value of the gram, as indicated by increase in gain in body weight (24 g/4 weeks) as well as PER (1.22).
