Abstract
This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of salt stress on
amino acid profile and proximate analysis of fenugreek germination samples
of two varieties: Giza 2 and Giza 30 for three days. The germination of sterilized fenugreek seeds was conducted using tap water and NaCl solution
(2,000 ppm) where higher salt concentration lowered fenugreek germination
quality. The germination of fenugreek seeds using tap water or brine increased the crude protein in both dry Giza 2 and Giza 30 seed varieties. Furthermore, sedative sprouts of Giza 30 recorded the highest crude protein
(30.60%), fat (6.20%) and energy (333.13 kcal/g) while the use of sterilized
Giza 2 seed variety recorded a higher percentage of carbohydrates (43.3%),
fiber (8.10%) and ash (6.60%). Alternatively, although amino acid profiles
indicated that aspartic acid and proline were most abundant in fenugreek
sprouts, sulfur amino acids (cysteine and methionine) demonstrated the least
values of the two varieties. Adopting saline water in germinating fenugreek
seeds for the two Giza 2 and Giza 30 varieties decreased all amino acid contents compared with those of tap water treatment.
