Abstract Eight winged bean seed varieties were treated by two methods, autoclaving and soaking, to investigate their respective effects on the antinutritional behenic acid in winged bean seeds. Either method was not able to completely destroy behenic acid. Thirty minute autoclaving reduced the behenic acid content up to 5%, and 60 min autoclaving reduced by 15%. Soaking in water in 2 h did not make any change in behenic acid content in any of the varieties, while 20 h soaking reduced it by 1.5%.
