Red kidney beans (RKBs) are one of the major components in the human diet of Western Indian Himalaya (WIH). Their cultivation in these habitats is strongly influenced by various biotic and abiotic stresses and therefore, there must be a selection of RKB associated microorganisms that are adapted to these harsh conditions. Seven cold adaptive diazotrophs from the same rhizosphere were isolated i...

Extrinsic and intrinsic iron and zinc labels were used to test iron and zinc absorption from two bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) genotypes, containing normal (common beans, CB) or higher (HFeZnB) iron and zinc concentrations, fed in single meals to young women with low iron reserves. The women were divided into two groups, with one receiving a CB test meal (n = 12) and the other, an HFeZnB test meal ...

BRS FS308 is a common bean cultivar with beans of the light red kidney commercial group for farmers interested in production export. has 100-seed weight 55 grams, semi-early cycle, semi-upright plant architecture, good yield potential (3,001 kg ha-1), resistance to anthracnose, and moderate fusarium wilt. This recommended growing Central South-Central regions Brazil.

Germination is a method that can modify the presence of nutrients and antinutrients in legume seeds. In this study, the changes in trypsin inhibitors activity (TIA), phytic acid, tannins, ascorbic acid, thiamine, protein digestibility and minerals in germinated black beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), white beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) and pigeon beans (Cajanus cajan L. Millsp) were evaluated. The...

Urea hydrolysis is widely used in agriculture, environment and other engineering fields, among which urease contained beans can catalyze urea hydrolysis. The activity of legume plant leaching solution (LPLS) was investigated, including soybeans, black beans, mung red as well soybean hulls, leaves, stems pods. For the high economic efficiency, most suitable for agricultural fields than soybean-r...

One of the non-communicable diseases that cause death is metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome a collection risk factors for degenerative disease found in people. Red beans are foodstuffs from class nuts have high fiber content and low glycemic index. also contain flavonoids, polyphenols, resistant starch, saponins. That compounds been to function as anti-obesity, anti-diabetic, anti-hyperlipi...

BACKGROUND Because of the demographic transition, lifestyle changes, urbanization, and nutrition transition, Central Africans are at higher risk of ocular diseases associated with oxidative stress and visual disability. This study aimed to estimate the normal values of oxidant status defined by oxidized low-density lipoprotein (Ox-LDL), 8-Isoprostane and 8-hydroxy-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) and to...

Results are presented of the effect of freezing followed by thawing (air and water immersion, both at environmental temperature) and cooking (traditional boiling in a covered pot) on quality profile (in terms of objective texture, colour, chlorophylls and pheophytins and sensory attributes) and structure of green beans (cv. Win). Freezing was carried out at three different rates by forced conve...

Legume seeds stored under high temperature and humidity develop a texture defect known as hard-tocook (HTC). Structural and histochemical characteristics of normal and HTC beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) were studied after storing them at 5°C/40% relative humidity (RH) or 40°C/75% RH for 60 days. Cotyledonary cells of HTC beans showed contraction of the cell content, whereas the cytoplasm of normal ...
