The effects of the commonly used processing techniques of soaking (at different pH values) and cooking on the digestive and nutritive utilization of calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium from common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) were studied. Before the cooking step, the beans were soaked in solutions of acid (2.6 and 5.3) or basic (8.4) pH. Chemical and biological methods were used to determine n...

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...

Glutamine synthetase (GS) is an octameric enzyme. The nodule cytosol of the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) has two major types of GS subunit polypeptides ([beta] and [gamma]). As a result, nine different isozymes containing varied proportions of [beta] and [gamma] can be generated. The isozymes are resolvable by native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Staining the gel for GS activity re...

Phaseolus vulgaris L. beans have been characterized as a nearly perfect food in all around the world. It is consider functional in terms of providing nutrients and energy to sustain daily life. Red bean contain high protein, mineral, fibres and chemically diverse micronutrient composition, which can be affected by processing. The main aim of this work is to investigate the effect of open and co...

The common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) represents one of the main crops for human consumption, due to its nutritional and functional qualities. Phenolic compounds have beneficial health effects, beans are an essential source these molecules, being found mainly in seed coat color depends on concentration type phenolic present. during storage processing, such as cooking, germination, extrusion, ...

Background: Small white Kidney beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is popular in the international market, they are widely cultivated high and cold areas of China. However, these have relatively short growth period, resulting low yield quality kidney beans, which limits development bean. Keyun1 has since played an important role improving bean production country 2020 because its yields, good upright,...

The impact of cold radiofrequency air plasma on the wetting properties and water imbibition of beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) was studied. The influence of plasma on wetting of a cotyledon and seed coat (testa) was elucidated. It was established that cold plasma treatment leads to hydrophilization of the cotyledon and tissues constituting the testa when they are separately exposed to plasma. By con...

Phaseolus vulgaris L. is one of the most important legume grains for human as well animal consumption direct and indirect Internationally. This crop shows a great phenotypic variation, which enables its production in wide range agroecosystems cropping systems. These species are considered superfoods, but yet many them not part our diets. In tribal blocks Balaghat district Madhya Pradesh (Baihar...

The nutritive value of isonitrogenous and isoenergetic levels of these processed beans, raw NB-SOY and NB-SOY extruded at 121, 135 or 157OC was assessed by pig growth assay. The raw NB-SOY diet caused severe scouring and was fed only for two weeks. Growth rate and feed conversion of pigs fed extruded NB-SOY improved as the extrusion temperature increased to 135OC but declined with higher temper...

Western flower thrips (WFT), Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande), is an important pest of vegetable crops worldwide and has developed resistance to many insecticides. The predatory mites Neoseiulus (=Amblyseius) cucumeris (Oudemans), the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae (Metsch.), and an insecticide (imidacloprid) were tested for their efficacy to reduce WFT population density a...
