Abstract

K and P amounts of untreated (control) and germinated legume seeds were recorded to be between 4939.97 (Barbunya bean shell) and 14113.25 mg/kg (Barbunya sprout) to 1690.42 (Soaked barbunya bean shell) and 13131.59 mg/kg (soaked Barbunya seed without Shell), respectively. In addition, while Ca values of barbunya bean samples are established between 282.60 (Soaked barbunya bean without shell) and 6021.32 mg/kg (Barbunya bean cotyledon without sprout), Mg amounts of barbunya bean samples were recorded to be between 2026.31 (Soaked barbunya bean without shell) and 2018.28 mg/kg (untretated barbunya bean seed). Fe and Zn amounts of untreated (control) and germinated legume seed parts were assigned to be between 19.69 (soaked barbunya seed without shell) and 39.26 mg/kg (barbunya cotyledon without sprout) to 10.49 (soaked barbunya seed without Shell) and 28.52 mg/kg (untreated barbunya seed), respectively. While Cu contents of legume seeds are found between 6.09 (soaked barbunya seed without shell) and 11.31 mg/kg (barbunya seed), Mn values of the legume seeds were established to be between 6.80 (soaked barbunya seed Shell) and 19.84 mg/kg (barbunya cotyledon). The highest B was found in untreated barbunya seed. The highest Fe, Zn, Cu, Mn and B contents were found in lentil cotyledon (for Fe, Zn and Cu), lentil sprout and untreated pea seeds, while the lowest Fe, Zn, Cu, Mn and B contents were determined in soaked lentil seeds without seed.
