Abstract:

In an attempt to optimize lentil steeping and germinating conditions for γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) enrichment, the individual effects of steeping time and temperature as well as germinating time and temperature on GABA synthesis in lentil were investigated by single factor and orthogonal experiment. The optimum conditions for lentil were obtained as follows: steeping time 2.5 h, steeping temperature 36℃,germinating time5h,germinating temperature 24℃,and under the optimal conditions, the GABA content in lentil reached 380.503mg/100g which was 1.9 times higher than that in the untreated one.

Key words: &gamma, -aminobutyric acid synthesis
