Chickpea Biotechnology

Indian Biotechnology offers a wide-ranging products and services. The most prominent area of biotechnology takes account of medical and agricultural sector. Emerging trends in biotechnology at Indian perspective, looking at the challenges and opportunities has applied into a field known as plant biotechnology. Recent trends in the functional foods have evidenced that food bio-active proteins play a major role in human consumption. For those reason, biomedical scientists and food scientists are working in collaboration to develop peptides for therapeutic benefits. Re-purposing of food products as a natural drug needs to be systematically explored. Seeds of legume like chickpea possess certain bio-active compounds. This book provides basic understanding of chickpea proteins/ peptide as a means of nutraceuticals.
