Abstract

Raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs) are sugars, which are considered anti-nutritional substances, which are not digestible by human gastric enzymes and can lead to flatulence. Legume seeds are often rich in these compounds, which can be cumbersome for many people, such as vegetarians or the population of developing countries, whose diets consists of large amounts of these food products. In this study, simple procedures used around the world in the brewing industry (malting and mashing) were used to determine, whether these processes could be applied to popular legume seeds (lentil and bean) to reduce the RFOs content. Acquired malts and worts were characterised by radically decreased concentration (up to 90%) of most ubiquitous RFOs, such as raffinose and stachyose.
