Abstract

In the present investigation biochemical contents in fenugreek seeds were estimated. Results revealed minimum polyphenol content in genotype NDM-278. Genotype HM-267 recorded the maximum phytic acid while RM-185 recorded the maximum saponin content. The maximum carbohydrate was observed in the genotypes NDM-12 and ACC-012 however; the maximum protein content in genotype NDM-33. Genotype HM-258-1 estimated the maximum moisture percent. With regard to the proximate content in the seeds, ash content was the maximum in genotype UM-132, fiber in genotype UM-113, zinc content in RM-189, iron content in HM-271, manganese content in UM-116 and magnesium content in genotype RM-190.

Key words: Fenugreek, anti nutritional factor, saponin, polyphenol.
