QUESTION

Heat treatment can destroy which antinutritional factor found in soybean cake?

OPTIONS

(A) Glucosinolate
(B) Aflatoxin
(C) Trypsin inhibitor
(D) Ricin

ANSWER

(C) Trypsin inhibitor

EXPLANATION

Soybean contains trypsin inhibitors that interfere with protein digestion, and adequate heat treatment can denature and largely inactivate them. Glucosinolates are associated mainly with Brassica oilseeds, aflatoxin is a fungal toxin rather than the characteristic heat-labile soybean factor, and ricin is associated with castor beans.
