Development of methods for the analysis of secondary, anti-nutritional plant constituents (Alkalyt)
Project
Project code: EIP-Agri-THÜ-2021-PPGLIV
Contract period: 01.01.2021
- 31.12.2023
Budget: 260,331 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
Keywords: plant production and horticulture, food industry, marketing/supply chain
The aim of the cooperation between the farm, laboratory company and breeder is to improve the quality of local pulses (legumes) such as for example, to examine lupins with regard to secondary phytonutrients (antinutritiva) and to develop analytical methods for this. The analysis methods, some of which have already been developed, have to be supplemented by new parameters and validated. Furthermore, it is important to develop new analysis methods with other measurement methods. For the extraction of standard substances, larger amounts of legume seeds are examined for their content of anti-nutritional ingredients and corresponding batches with particularly high levels are selected for further processing. Batches of legumes grown in Thuringia are to be examined and classified according to the planned production and using routes. Finally, an examination of Thuringian legume products should show which qualities can be achieved and how the content of bitter substances should be classified in relation to the recommendations of Food & Feed associations.
