Chickpea
Seed
Protease inhibitors- Kunitz type
Single chain polypeptides of about 20 kDa with two disulphide bridges which inhibit the enzyme activity of only trypsin but not chymotrypsin.
Though the ANFs act as limiting factors in chickpea consumption, they can be reduced or eliminated by soaking, cooking, boiling and autoclaving.
