Acuña et al. (2012)[8] posit that the H. hampei LGT may be responsible for processing
galactomannan, which is the most common polysaccharide in coffee beans, thus facilitating specialization of this pest species
on coffee plants.
Additionally, fenugreek's omega - 3 fatty acids and dietary fiber, as well as a water - soluble polysaccharide called
galactomannan, are thought to contribute with the beneficial effects of fenugreek
on metabolic functions.
