    Abstract

    The concentrations of crude fiber (CF), acid detergent fiber (ADF), neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and dietary fiber (DF) were significantly higher in the seed and dhal of desi cultivars than in those of kabuli cultivars, except for dhal (dehusked dry split cotyledons) CF and ADF which were the same in the two seed types. This indicated that the levels of these fiber constituents in whole seeds are determined mainly by the husk. In both desi and kabuli types, dhal was richer in hemicellulose (NDF-ADF) than in the husk whereas cellulose (CF) and lignin (ADF-CF) were mostly located in the husk. Hemicellulose constituted a large proportion (about 55%) of the total dhal dietary fiber of both the types. Whole seed and dhal of desi cultivars contained much higher amounts of cellulose and hemicellulose than those of kabuli types which may be disadvantageous for utilization.
