Abstract:
The use of crude -galactosidase from Gibberella fujikuroi to reduce the flatulence-inducing raffinose family sugars in chickpea flour was studied. Crude enzyme treatment of chickpea flour resulted in complete hydrolysis of sugars of the raffinose family. This method could be useful on commercial scale.
