The α-galactosides negatively affect of digestibility of grain legumes. The most effective way of α-galactosides decreasing is germination. The content of α-galactosides in chick-pea was decreased by 4 days germination up to 24% of original value in dry seeds. The 2 days germinated chick-pea seeds were treated by pressure 500 MPa for 10 minutes. The α-galactosides content was decreased by this treatment up to 31% of value before pressurisation and during 21 days storing decreased up to 7% of value before pressurisation.
