Abstract

In the first report dated March 15, 1980 on the investigation of the nutritive value of saga seeds (Adenanthera pavonina LINN), using feeding trials with young growing albino rats, it was concluded that :
1. Raw, saga contains an anti-nutritive or toxic factor for young
growing albino-rats. This factor cannot be (completely) destroyed
or removed by ordinary household steaming.
2. This toxic factor present in the suga bean, if consumed by
young albino-rats, can be tolerated if the steamed saga meal
was fed together with other source s of protein such as rice.
It was concluded that the availability of other good sources of
protein in the diet have an ameliorating or protective effect
against this toxic substance(s).
3. Steaming of the raw saga for half an hour could not reduce the
toxic effect of this substance present in the sage bean.
4. As the amino acids content of the saga protein is not yet known,
it was postulated that the amino acid pattern of the saga protein
must be somewhat similar, although probably not better than
the amino acid pattern of soybean protein.
