Abstract
The present investigation entitled “Nutraceutical and Molecular
Characterization in Cowpea” was carried out at the Department of Agricultural
Biotechnology, Anand Agricultural University, Anand, Gujarat, during kharif season
2019-20. The study was undertaken with the objective to evaluate nutraceutical traits
in 42 different genotypes of cowpea including 19 lines of Vigna unguiculata and 23
of Vigna unguiculata sub sp. sesquipedalis (Yard long bean) as well as to
characterize the various genotypes of cowpea with molecular markers.
Analysis of the various nutraceutical parameters like moisture, total
carbohydrates, Total Soluble Solids (brix), phytate, ascorbic acid, phenol, fiber and
crude protein was done.
