Abstract/Summary
The pods and seeds of three vegetable legumes Cajanus cajan Linn. (kadyos or pigeon pea), Phaseolus vulgaris Linn. (abitsuwelas or snap bean and Phaseolus lupatus Linn. (patani or lima bean) - were analyzed for their protein content using the Bradford protein dye-binding method. The one-day old samples were subjected to cold storage at a temperature of 10 centigrade for an interval of twenty-four hours (24) for seven days or 144 hours. Data were analyzed using the One-Way analysis of Variance for a completely randomized design. Difference between treatment means were determined using the Least Significant Difference (LSD) test. Results showed that there was generally a significant decrease in the amount of protein in these three legumes during cold storage. Among the pods of the three species, that of Phaseolus Vulgaris and Cajanus cajan exhibited a highly significant decrease during the fourth and fifth day respectively. The protein content of the seeds of Cajanus cajan showed a highly significant decrease by the third day of cold storage while those of Phaseolus vulgaris and Phaseolus lunatus exhibited a highly significant decrease during the fourth and fifth day respectively.
