Nutritional Content Characteristics of Dolichos lablab L. Accessions in Effort to Investigate Functional Food Source

D. lablab L. is a species of bean that is
categorized as local food with its perceived potential
as alternative food source rich in nutritional content.
This current comparative research aimed at
investigating the influences of accessions upon
nutritional content of D. lablab found in Malang,
Probolinggo, Madura, and West Nusa Tenggara
(WNT). A proximate analysis was administered to
investigate water, ash, lipid, protein, and amylose
contents in each of D. lablab accessions. One-way
MANOVA test was chosen for data analysis in this
current research. The interval of water content
ranged from 8.95 to 19.35%. Additionally, the
intervals of ash, lipid, protein, and amylose contents
respectively signified 3.40-4.11%, 0.33-0.75%, 20.0624.22%,

and 11.89-14.93%. Meanwhile, in terms of
dry weight, they respectively varied at the following
intervals of 4.11-4.90%, 0.37-0.90%, 22.91-27.21%,
and 13.10-17.04%. The result of analysis indicated
that the differences set in the accessions significantly
influenced the nutritional content of the investigated
D. lablab. In short, conservation on any D. lablab
accessions in Indonesia is in urgent need of
implementation due to high nutritional contents of
the plant.
