What is Functional and Physicochemical Properties of Pulse Starch about?

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), black gram (Phaseolus mungo L.), pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan L.), field pea (Pisum sativum L.), kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), and lentil (Lens culinaris) are some of the important pulses grown throughout the world. Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is one of the most important pulse crops in the Indian subcontinent. Black gram (Phaseolus mungo L.) is an important pulse crop throughout a large part of the tropics and is widely grown in India, Iran, Southeast Asia, Greece, and East Africa (Sathe et al., 1982). Field pea (Pisum sativum L.) is extensively grown in northern Europe, the United States, Canada, Russia, and China but is grown in a limited area in India (Singh, 1999). India, Canada, and Turkey are the main lentilproducing countries. India alone produces one-third of the world production of lentils. Pulses are the major source of proteins and other nutrients in the diets of malnourished areas of the world. They are also good sources of slowly digestible starch (SDS), the most desirable form of dietary starch that is completely, but more slowly, digested in the small intestine and attenuates postprandial plasma glucose and insulin levels (Jenkin
