Abstract	Five cultivars and thirty nine advance breeding lines of lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) were evaluated for carbohydrate composition, soluble proteins, mineral content and antinutritional traits such as phenolic compounds, tannins, trypsin inhibitors, saponins, phytic acid, bound fructose of sucrose and raffinose series oligosaccharides. The average content of total sugars, starch, proteins was found to be 47.18, 421.2, 236.24 mg/g respectively. Lentil genotypes contained higher content of iron, followed by zinc and the least content of copper. The content of bound fructose, phytic acid, tannins and phenols showed significant variation in lentil genotypes. Six genotypes namely-LL-1161, LL-1209, LL-1260, LL-1302, LL-1306, LL-1308 have low phytic acid content and nutritionally good. LL-1328, PL-063 could be important for pest resistance due to high trypsin inhibitor activity in them. Antioxidant potential of these genotypes estimated on the basis of free radical scavenging activity (DPPH), ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), total reducing power, hydroxyl radical scavenging activity, superoxide anion radical scavenging activity and nitric oxide radical scavenging activity showed significant variation among genotypes. Thirteen genotypes (LL-699, LL-1209, LL-1223, LL-1277, LL-1279, LL-1302, LL-1304, LL-1306, LL-1309, LL-1311, LL-1315, LL-1321, LL-1325) showed high antioxidant activity. The genotypes were divided into low, medium and high on the basis of all the above parameters studied. Eight advance breeding lines namely LL-1305, LL-1161, LL-1221, LL-1306, LL-1311, LL-1313, LL-1325, LL-4147 have high protein content, low/medium antinutritional factors, high antioxidant potential and good yield. So these are good cultivars and nutritionally important. SDS-PAGE profile of proteins revealed significant differences in terms of intensity and presence of bands.
