Content of some anti-nutrients and nutrients in some new plant Foods of India and Iran

Abstract

Eight edible plant foods have been analyzed in order to detect differences in nutritional quality, considering the balance between nutrients and anti-nutrient compounds present in each. The most important nutrients studied in this paper were: water, starch, free sugars, such as
glucose, fructose and sucrose. The anti-nutrients measured included phytic acid and trypsin inhibitors from this study; by considering the nutritional quality of each plant, we can divide the eight edible plants into
three groups, each being suitable for different technological processes.
