Common beans {Phaseolus vulgaris L.) are consumed by humans in various fonns of food, mostly processed for baked bean. Therefore, seed coat integrity (high quality wholesome bean) of beans is extremely important. Split beans and cracked seed coats of white beans result in substantial problems in processing. Our first study showed variety differences in response to direct combine harvest (Gillar...

Soy beans powder mixed with water is a good food for animals. However, there are two problems with this brew. One is that soy beans powder is sunk down to fast. Parts of soy beans powder are too big and too heavy. Animals do not eat soy beans powder because after a few minutes (around 3min) is sunk down and soy beans are on the bottom case. Another negative point is a quick growth of mold, espe...

Colonizing Bacillus in vanilla (Vanilla planifolia Andrews) beans is involved in glucovanillin hydrolysis and vanillin formation during conventional curing. The flavor profiles of vanilla beans under Bacillus-assisted curing were analyzed through gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, electronic nose, and quantitative sensory analysis. The flavor profiles were analytically compared among the van...

Faba beans are an important source of folate and commonly consumed in Egypt. This study examined the effects of Egyptian industrial food processing (e.g., canning and freezing), germination, cultivar, and maturity stages on folate content, with the aim to develop a candidate functional canned faba bean food with increased folate content. The folate content in four cultivars of green faba beans ...

This study aims to understand the role of storage conditions (temperature, T and moisture content) in reactions involved cation-pectin-phytate hypothesis, postulated cause Hard-to-cook (HTC) defect beans as influenced by plasticizing effect (glass transition (Tg) concept). The enzyme catalysed reactions, demethylesterification pectin hydrolysis phytic acid, were monitored respectively simplifie...
