Seed protein yield from some Crotalaria spp and in vitro nutritional quality of that from C. juncea.
Seed Protein Concentrates (SPC) of 6 species of Crotalaria were extracted and the extractabilities of SPC, total N and protein N determined. SPC of high yielding species (C. Juncea) was analyzed for the contents of amino acids, ash, phosphorus, sugar, starch, fibre and calories, as well as for in vitro digestibility. Results indicate the promising potential of C. juncea for SPC yield.
