SUGAR IN PULSES

Abstract
The occurrence of at least four non-reducing oligosaccharides has been observed in pulses. Three of the saccharides have been separated from resting seeds of green gram and have been characterized as raffinose, stachyose, and verbascose. A fairly similar pattern of composition of these sugars exists in a variety of pulses. The changes in the saccharides and the hydrolytic enzymes developed during germination have been studied.
