Abstract: | Lentil (Lens culinaris var. vulgaris) flour was naturally fermented for 4 days at different temperatures (28°C, 35°C and 42°C) and concentrations (79 g/1, 150 g/1 and 221 g/1). Samples were analysed to establish the changes of total protein content and in vitro protein digestibility, trypsin inhibitor activity (TIA) and phenolic compound content during natural fermentation of lentils. The preparation of lentil flour suspensions to be fermented caused a slight increase in total protein and in vitro protein digestibility content, a decrease of TIA and a sharp decrease the tannin/catechin ratio. During the whole fermentation procedure, the minimum initial lentil concentration and temperature used (79 g/1, 28°C) achieved the maximum protein content and the lowest tannin/catechin ratio. The TIA was more affected by temperature than by concentration, and a 62.5% reduction was observed at 42°C and 79 g/1. |
