the cotton bollworm, helicoverpa armigera (hübner), is one of the important polyphagous pests causing serious loss to many economically important crops in iran. the goal of this experiment was to study the age-stage, two-sex life table of h. armigera on different bean cultivars including white kidney bean (cultivars daneshkadeh, pak, and shokufa), red kidney bean (cultivars akhtar, naz, and say...

in order to evaluate the intercropping of corn (zea mays l.) and bean cultivars (phaseolus spp.) an experiment was carried out in a randomized complete block design with three replicaties at sari agricultural sciences and natural resources university during growing season of 2010. the experimental treatments consisted of sole cropping of corn, white bean, bush bean, red bean, pinto bean and swo...

Nutritional performance and activity of some digestive enzymes (protease and α-amylase) of Helicoverpa armigera Hübner (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in response to feeding on bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L. (Fabales: Fabaceae)) cultivars (Shokufa, Akhtar, Sayyad, Naz, Pak, Daneshkadeh, and Talash) were evaluated under laboratory conditions (25 ± 1°C, 65 ± 5% RH, and a 16:8 L:D photoperiod). The highest ...

THE PRINCIPAL OBJECTIVE OF THIS STUDY WAS TO ASSESS THE INSTRUMENTAL AND SENSORY CHARACTERISTICS OF GINSENG COFFEE WITH DIFFERENT RATIOS OF THE INGREDIENTS: type of coffee bean (Colombia, Brazil, and Indonesia), type of ginseng extract (white ginseng, red ginseng, and America ginseng) and concentration of ginseng extract (3, 6, and 9 w/v %). The sensory optimal condition of white ginseng coffee...

in this study, chemical composition and functional properties of red bean, chickpea, lentil and canellini bean were evaluated. our results revealed that chickpea had the highest protein (43.4%) and fat (5.17%) content and lentil, red bean and canellini bean were the following ones. the isoelectric point of all the samples were determined as about ph=4 but other than lentil, the remaining sample...

in this study, functional properties of red bean, chickpea, lentil and canellini bean were evaluated. our results revealed that beans had the highest emulsifying capacity. this property was minimum at the isoelectric point (about 4) among all samples which is in concistent with their solubility curves. salt concentration of 0.5 m did not have a significant influence on emulsifying capacity but ...

The red sword bean (Canavalia gladiata) is an underutilized edible bean cultivated in China. It was previously found to have the highest content of antioxidant polyphenols among 42 edible beans, mainly gallic acid, and gallotannins in its red bean coat, an apparently unique characteristic among edible beans. In this study, the main phenolic compounds in red sword bean coats were further separat...

introduction red beans (phaseolus vulgaris l.) with 22-25 % protein and 50-60 % carbohydrates are one of the most important legumes in the world, particularly in some developing countries. it is one of the major sources of vegetable protein. with regard to increasing population and increasing the need of protein, the use of plant resources like red bean with a large amount of protein is growing...

abstract in order to study the effects of quantitative and qualitative traits on cooking characteristics and protein percentage of 15 red bean genotypes, a randomized complete block design was conducted with three replications in normal irrigation and drought stress. these traits were measured in farm and nutrition laboratory employing international standard of ciat. analyses of variance showed...
