Detailed explanation-1: -Abstract. Oligosaccharides from several types of raw and processed legume seeds consumed in Spain, e.g. lentils (Lens culinaris L.), chickpeas (Cicer arietinum L.), red kidney beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), white common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), “Judiones de la Granja” great white beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)

Detailed explanation-2: -Oligosaccharides, including raffinose, stachyose, ciceritol, and verbascose, are commonly found in legumes and often result in flatulence in humans.

Detailed explanation-3: -Three examples of oligosaccharides are raffinose, fructooligosaccharides and galactooligosaccharides. Raffinose and fructooligosaccharides are plant-derived oligosaccharides. Galactooligosaccharides are dairy-derived oligosaccharides.

Detailed explanation-4: -Most legumes, including chickpeas, possess noticeable amounts of raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs) in their seeds. RFOs are seed oligosaccharides abundant in nature, which are non-digestible by humans and animals and cause flatulence and severe abdominal discomforts.
