Abstract
The aim of the present study was to quantify the extent of changes in the concentration of different metabolic organic compounds in chickpea grains under extreme moisture stress and non stress so that nutritional quality can be defined. Chemical composition of grain protein, carbohydrate, starch, soluble sugars contents in chickpea samples were estimated under water stress to non-stress environments. Results indicated that a higher amount of grain protein, carbohydrate and soluble sugars were found however starch content decreased under moisture stress environment. Average protein increased by 5.04%, carbohydrate 3.68% and soluble sugars 21.44% over non stress content value. Moisture stress induced reduction in starch. It was found that starch reduced by 4.73% in water deficit stress.
