The effects of soaking, cooking, autoclaving and sprouting on the polyphenol contents of eight cultivars of chickpea ( Cicer arietinum ) and four of blackgram (Vigna mungo) were studied. All the treatments reduced the polyphenols of the legume seeds, but to a varying extent. Sprouting and autoclaving had the most pronounced effect; ordinary cooking and soaking were relatively less effective.
