The reduction of mimosine content in Leucaena leucocephala (petai belalang) leaves using ethyl methanesulphonate (EMS)
A study was conducted to reduce the mimosine content ofLeucaena leucocephalaleaves by using ethyl methanesulphonate (EMS). The seeds were treated with three different doses of EMS (i.e., 0.1%, 0.3% and 0.6%) aiming at reducingthe mimosine content and improving the nutritive value of L. leucocephal...
