Conteúdo: | Tannins are well known constituents of many plant species. Despite the beneficial agronomic character they confer to crops (resistance to pests, to chilling injury, and to mechanical damage) a lower level might be necessary for legumes to gain consumer acceptance according to Hewitt and Ford (1982). In lentils the presence of tannins, proanthocvanidins, is related to seed coat discoloration (Bezeda, 1980). Using the vanillin-HCI method as modified by Price et al. (1978), no tannins were detected in the decorticated seed. Accordingly, the tannin determinations were made on the seed coat. The proanthocyanidin content from 87 lines of the world collection, grown in Saskatchewan in 1979 and kept frozen, was determined.
