Hemagglutinating activity in the common lentil (Lens culinaris or Lens esculenta) was first reported by Landsteiner and Raubitschek.439 Several laboratories have since isolated the lentil lectin in pure form, and studied its physical-chemical properties and interaction with carbohydrates.138,142,143,440 442... 

A comparative study of the hemagglutinating activities of the pea (Pisum sativum), the lentil (Lens culinaris), and the jack-bean (Canavalia ensiformis) lectins towards the erythrocytes of fourteen different species showed446 that the pea and lentil lectins were, in all instances, more active than con A. Of great interest was the finding that, among these three lectins, con A alone was completely inactive against human erythrocytes (blood group, unspecified).446...

The seeds cf many other species cf legumes are also eaten. These inclnde the chick pea Cicer arietinum, lentil Lens escidenta, common pea Pisuni sativuni, broad or faba bean Viciafaba, cow pea Vigna sinensis, common bean P. vulgaris, mung bean Pkaseolus aureus, Lima bean P. lunatus, and scarlet runner bean P. mult lorus. The entire pod of the carob Ceratonia sili-qua can be eaten and is similar to a candy because cf the naturally large concentratim of si ar that it contains. 

Like concanavalin A, the majority of lectins are associations of subunits. Sometimes they are identical, sometimes different, often numbering four, but sometimes more or less (two). Each of the two isolectins of lentils (lens culinaris.

This section introduces some factors that can cause complications in calibration model development for grains and seeds. The factors (over 50) that have been listed (1) can exert direct or indirect influence on NIR spectra (and therefore on calibration and subsequent analysis). Most of the examples in this chapter are taken from experience with wheat. Other grains and seeds show great diversity in physical characteristics, but wheat is arguably the most diverse, especially in functionality. Pulses, such as the chickpea Cicer arietinum), lentil Lens esculenta and L. cuUnaris), and faba bean (Viciafaba) show even greater diversity in seed size, shape and color, but are rather less variable than wheat in kernel texture and functionality. 

A new, non-specific phytohaemagglutinin from lentil (Lens esculentid) seeds has been shown to be a glycoprotein of molecular weight 5.3 x 10. A lectin found in the seeds of Vida ervilla has a molecular weight of 6 x 10, and consists of four subunits composed of two types of peptide chain. It has a similar specificity to that of concanavalin A, and also contains no carbohydrate. A lectin from K/c/Vz has been described. A lectin from Vistaria floribunda,...
