Determination of nutritional and mineral constituents and physical characteristics of Yubka kidney bean seeds from Talas region of Kyrgyzstan.

Abstract

This study determined the nutrient ingredients and physical characteristics of kidney beans (Phaseolus Vulgaris) cv. Yubka cultivated in the Talas region of Kyrgyzstan. Physical properties were analyzed at moisture amount in the range of 8.4% to 30% d.b. using re-wetted kidney beans. The average, width, length, thickness, arithmetic mean diameter and geometric mean diameter were 14.2, 9.5, 7.3, 9.9 mm, 10.3 mm at initial moisture level (%8.4). The nutrient ingredients of kidney bean seeds, bearing; crude protein, crude cellulose, lower heating value, ash, organic matter, were found to be 14.4%, 3.8%, 18,67 Mj/kg, 3.86%, and 96.14% at natural moisture levels (%8.4), respectively. Mineral ingredients of kidney bean seeds, bearing; B, Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn, K, P, Ca, S and Mg, were defined at 53.5 ppm, 6.9 ppm, 66.9 ppm, 18.6 ppm, 25.06 ppm, 1.5%, 0.4%, 0.2%, 0.02%, and 0.19%, respectively.
