Total phenolic compounds in seeds of some Apulian legume landraces

The level of TPCs in fourteen Apulian landraces, belonging to six legume species (fava bean, pea, chickpea, grass pea, common bean and lentil) was quantified. All the landraces were cultivated in their traditional environment during the growing season 2016-2017. An appreciable variation of TPC amount among the landraces belonging to the same species was observed. The fava beans showed higher values than the other species.
