A
BSTRACT
To date, there is limited study on structural profiles on a molecular
level mainly related to lipid biopolymers in different type of peas. This
research aims to determine molecular structural features of lipid that
mainly related to functional groups in the recently developed Green-type
and Yellow-type CDC pea varieties: CDC Strike (Green-Type) vs. CDC
Meadow (Yellow-Type) and relatively quantify the antisymmetric CH3
(“CH
3
as”) and CH2 (“CH
2
as”) (ca. 2960 and 2923 cm (-1), respectively),
symmetric CH3 (“CH
3
s”) and CH2 (“CH
2
s”) (ca. 2873 and 2954 cm (-1),
