This research aimed to evaluate the physical 2022 characteristics, nutrients, and antinutrients composition of pigeon pea grown in different Keywords: regions of Indonesia, i.e., Bali, Yogyakarta, and Nusa Tenggara Barat (NTB). The results Pigeon pea, showed that the physical characteristics, nutrients, and antinutrients composition differed Physical characteristics, significantly. The weight of pigeon pea seeds ranged from 7.49-13.29 g/100 seeds, Nutrients, hydration capacity was 0.07-0.15 g/seed, hydration index was 0.90-1.14, swelling capacity Antinutrients varied from 0.06-0.15 mL/seed, and the swelling index was 1.06-1.54. Pigeon pea was a potential source of protein (23.96-24.20%) and starch (40.55-42.80%). The highest protein DOI: https://doi.org/10.26656/fr.2017.6(2).172 content was found in pigeon pea from Yogyakarta, whereas the highest starch content was found in pigeon pea from NTB. The contents of vitamin C, E, A varied from 25.13-28.21 mg/100 g, 67.44-100.51 mg/100 g, and 1,248.83-2,303.86 µg/100 g, respectively. Potassium was the most abundant mineral in pigeon pea (479.66-1.455.51 mg/100 g). Pigeon pea from Yogyakarta had the highest phytic acid content, HCN, tannins at 841.24 ppm, 46.60 ppm, and 378.45 mg/100 g, respectively. 1. Introduction especially in developing countries. The developed countries face an increasing demand for protein food Leguminosae is the family of a flowering plant sources because of the growing population, inadequate comprising 650 to 750 genera and 18,000 to 19,000 fertile soil, cereal diet, and high food prices (Sharma et species. This family is widely known as legumes, which al., 2011; Narina et al., 2014; Moussou et al., 2019). are classified into four subfamilies: Caesalpinioideae, Mimosoideae, Papilionoideae, and Swartzioideade Various countries have used legumes as their (Ahmed and Hasan, 2014). Legumes contain 20-40% primary food sources, such as pigeon pea, chickpea, and protein, 50-60% carbohydrate with starch as the main lentils in South Asia, kidney beans in Latin America, component, 2-3% fat, 0.7-6.2% dietary fibre, vitamins, chickpea, lentils, faba beans in North Africa, and the and minerals (Wani et al., 2016). Legumes also have a Middle East (Ahmed and Hasan, 2014). In Indonesia, low glycemic index value and bioactive compounds with legumes utilization is still limited to soybean, red kidney antioxidant properties, so legumes can be a source of bean, and mung bean. On the other hand, Indonesia has functional food (Tayade et al., 2019). Narina et al. various legumes that Indonesian people have not utilized (2014) and Souza et al. (2015) reported that legumes optimally, one of which is pigeon pea. Pigeon pea could affect health positively, such as a supplement for (Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.), including the Fabaceae diabetes mellitus patients, preventing cardiovascular risk, family. Pigeon pea is an annual crop with more drought obesity, and bone disorder. Legumes are typically used and high-temperature tolerance than other crops, as a cereal substitute to increase their finished product’s allowing it to be grown in tropical and subtropical areas. nutrient composition and functional impact (Olagunju et The plant height is about 1-4 meters and has 2 meters of al., 2018). Therefore, legumes can be an alternative to deep taproot (Akande et al., 2010; Al-Saeedi and meet nutritional needs and fight several diseases, Hossain, 2015).

In Indonesia, pigeon pea is grown in several silica gel and then placed in a container at ambient U temperature until it was analysed. areas, including Bali, Yogyakarta, and Nusa Tenggara F Barat. Usually, pigeon pea is consumed as a vegetable, 2.2 Seed weight, volume, density, and dimensions and there are still a few pigeon pea-based food products. Therefore, to increase the diversification of pigeon pea- Seed weight, volume, and density were determined based food products, it is necessary to research the based on Williams et al. (1983). Pigeon pea seeds (100 physical characteristics, nutrients, and antinutrients composition of pigeon pea grown in Indonesia. seeds) were weighed on analytical scales. After that, seeds were moved to a 50 mL measuring cylinder containing 25 mL of distilled water. The difference in Information about legume's physical characteristics distilled water volume after and before the seeds was put is useful for processing, storing, and designing into the measuring cylinder is the volume of seeds. Seed processing machinery (Khanbarad et al., 2014). The seed density was determined by dividing seed weight by its weight and hydration capacity of legumes are linked to volume (g/mL). The seed dimensions (length, width, and the cooking process (Yadav et al., 2018). Legumes with thickness) were determined using a calliper with a count a higher hydration capacity require less cooking time, of at least 0.02 mm. affecting consumer preference for the seeds (Moussou et al., 2019). The shape and size of legume seeds are 2.3 Hydration capacity and hydration index significant in designing the machines for sizing and grading (Firatligil-Durmuş et al., 2010). Information Determination of hydration capacity and hydration about nutrients composition is crucial for the dietary index based on Williams et al. (1983). The seeds of quality assessment, offering a valuable tool for the sector pigeon pea (100 seeds) were weighed and placed into a of public health nutrition, development, and beaker glass together with distilled water (100 mL).
