Question

Pulses lack sulfur containing amino acids like

• A. Cysteine and Methionine
• B. Methionine and Tryptophan
• C. Cysteine and Tryptophan
• D. Methionine and Phenyl alanine

Answer 1

The correct option is A Cysteine and Methionine

Pulses contain storage proteins like globulin and albumin. Prolamines and glutelins are minor components of pulses. Glutelins have major constituents of methionine and cysteine. As pulses have fewer amounts of glutelins, they lack methionine and cysteine.

So, option A is the correct answer.
