Antinutrients Level in Staple Food Crops in Ebonyi-Nigeria

The antinutrient levels of staple food crops were determined colorimetrically using spectrophotometer. The results indicate the presence of phytate, oxalate, lectin, alkaloid, cynanogenic glycoside, saponin, tannin and chymotrypsin inhibitor in the samples analyzed. The distribution of theses antinu...

Abstract The antinutrient levels of staple food crops were determined colorimetrically using spectrophotometer. The results indicate the presence of phytate, oxalate, lectin, alkaloid, cynanogenic glycoside, saponin, tannin and chymotrypsin inhibitor in the samples analyzed. The distribution of theses antinutrients appears to have a consistent pattern for the three groups of crops (tubers, cereals and legumes) irrespective of the sample location. The study indicates that the antinutreint factors may not be due to environmental factors but are endogenous attributes of each of the staple food cultivars.
