✦ Synopsis
A study was made of both Desi (16 cultivars) and Kabuli (21 cultivars) chickpea biotypes grown under the same environmental conditions in order to evaluate the inÑuence of the biotype factor as source of variance of the proximate composition and antinutritive substances content. Di †erences were found between the two biotypes for fat, total dietary Ðbre (TDF), insoluble dietary Ðbre (IDF), phytic acid and tannin content. Desi biotypes revealed lower fat and phytic acid contents, whereas Kabuli biotypes showed lower TDF, IDF and tannin content. Di †erences in coat thickness, as reported in the literature, are conÐrmed as a source of di †erences between the two biotypes in the fat, TDF, IDF, phytic acid and tannin content.
