Abstract/Summary
The protein content of the pods and seeds of two legumes namely, Pisum sativum (chicharo) and Dolichos lablab (bataw) were analyzed using the Bradford protein-dye binding method after exposure to cold (10 centigrade) and ambient (29 centigrade) temperature for a period of seven days or 144 hours. Data were analyzed using the two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) for a completely randomized design. The differences among the treatment means were determined using the Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT).
The results showed that Pisum sativum pods stored at ambient temperature significantly decreased during the second day of storage while those stored in cold temperature significantly decreased during the fourth day. Pisum sativum seeds already showed a significant decrease on the third day of storage at ambient temperature showed a significant decrease on the fifth day. In the case of ambient temperature, significantly decreased during the second day of storage. At cold temperature, however, the decrease was found to be significant on the fourth day. The protein content of the seeds of Dolichos lablab at ambient temperature decreased significantly during the third day while those exposed in cold storage decreased significantly on the fourth day.
