Other claims from this paper (12)
- Observation The amount of chickpea oil and its acid value increased during germination.
- Intervention effect Selenium at 0.5 mg/100g increased the oxidative stability index (OSI) of chickpea sprout oil by 28% compared with non-selenium treated sprouts.
- Intervention effect Selenium at 1.0 mg/100g increased the oxidative stability index (OSI) of chickpea sprout oil by 46% compared with non-selenium treated sprouts.
- Intervention effect Phenolics increased by up to 36% in germinated chickpea sprouts, with and without selenium, compared with seeds.
- Intervention effect Carotenoids were reduced by half in germinated chickpea sprouts, with and without selenium, compared with seeds.
- Intervention effect Carotenoids increased by 16% in chickpea sprouts treated with 1.0 mg/100 g selenium compared with sprouts without selenium.
- Intervention effect Fatty acid profile (FAME) of chickpea sprout oil was not affected by the treatments.
- Intervention effect The highest selenium concentration increased lipase activity by 19% compared with untreated sprouts.
- Intervention effect The highest selenium concentration decreased lipoxygenase activity by 55% compared with untreated sprouts.
- Intervention effect The cellular antioxidant activity (CAA) of oils increased by 43% to 66% in all germinated treatments compared with seeds.
- Association The authors suggest that the high OSI of Se-enriched chickpea sprout oil is associated with a reduction in LOX activity.
- Association The authors suggest that the high CAA of Se-enriched chickpea sprout oil is associated with an increase in phenolics.
