Dave et al. (1985) reported the biodegradation of toxic cyanide waste. The effluent was pretreated with hot alkah digestion and chemical coagulation followed by biological aeration. The HCN content in black gram and other seeds at a level of 1 mg/100 g flour was completely destroyed in 20-minute cooking (Dwivedi and Singh 1987).

Idli is a very popular fermented breakfast food consumed in India that is made mainly of rice and black gram. It was shown that riboflavin, thiamine, and folate concentrations were increased during the fermentation of idli batter due to the presence of yeast, Lactobacillus ssp., and Leuconostoc mesenteroides (Ghosh and Chattopadhyay 2012). In terms of riboflavin, the concentrations reached 7.6 0.8 ng B /ml compared to the initial concentration (2.2 1.1 mg B /ml). Further studies are required to identify the riboflavin-producing strains in this product.

Similar results have been obtained by feeding labeled adenine or hypoxan-thine to black gram and pea seedlings, tobacco callus cultures, carrot suspension cultures, and leaves of Ginko and Acer (Ashihara and Nobusawa, 1981 Ashihara, 1983). Hypoxanthine was more readily incorporated into ALN and ALA and both ureides were quickly metabolized, releasing CO2 in leaves of Nicotiana, Triticum, Acer, and Ginko.
