Available mineral contents and anti-oxidant contents of sag incorporating 20 percent fresh chickpea leaves at 45 days after sowing on dry matter basis

Abstract

In this experiment data related that available mineral in sag containing 20 percent fresh leaves at 45 days after sowing of desi and kabuli chickpea varieties. The highest available iron content was observed in sag containing the 20 percent fresh leaves of kabuli chickpea variety HK-2 (20.98%) and in desi variety lowest from C-235 (18.66%), calcium content (30.75%) was observed of HK-2 and lowest was observed in variety HC-1 was (30.14%). The highest zinc content in sag containing 20 percent fresh leaves of kabuli chickpea variety HK-2 (49.44%), while lowest from variety HK-1 (48.11%). The phenolic compounds ranged from 0.87 to 0.95 mg GAE/100 g and DPPH free radical scavenging activity were (31.9 to 32.85%) present in the sags incorporating 20 percent fresh chickpea leaves at 45 days after sowing of desi and kabuli chickpea varieties i.e. HC-1, C-235, HK-1 and HK-2.
