“…Finally, in terms of human health benefits, bean consumption can prevent different diseases [75][76][77], in addition to the contribution of bioactive components and antioxidant activity found in different genotypes evaluated in this study. For example, in a typical Mediterranean diet based on foods such as olive oil, fruits, vegetables, cereals, legumes, wine, among others, a daily intake per person of 118.6 mg of flavonoids, spiced in flavanones 32% (38.5 mg), catechins (32.7 mg), flavonols 22% (26.4 mg), anthocyanidins 9% (11 mg), flavones 8% (8.7 mg), isoflavones 1% (1.3 mg) [78], and even an ABTS antioxidant potential of around 3500-5300 Trolox equivalents is estimated [79].…”

Knowledge is limited about the level of bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity of seeds from bred lines of common beans developed from interspecific crosses using four different Phaseolus species (P. vulgaris L., P. coccineus L., P. acutifolius A. Gray. Gray., and P. dumosus). In this study, differences in the nutritional quality of seeds among 112 bean genotypes were evaluated by measuring the levels of phenolic compounds, pigments, antioxidant activity, and sugars. The bean genotypes were grown under high temperatures and acid soil conditions in the Amazon region of Colombia. Five typology groups of bean genotypes were identified based on the level of bioactive compounds and their functional capacity: (1) highly bioactive and functional (HBF); (2) moderately bioactive and functional (MBF); (3) moderate antioxidant content with pigment influence (MACP); (4) moderately antinutritional with limited antioxidant potential (MALAP); and (5) antinutritional, low bioactive, and functional (ALBF). We developed a nutritional quality index (NQI) with values ranging from 0 to 1 based on the nutritional and anti-nutritional balance of each genotype and the higher values of the NQI of a genotype indicating greater nutritional quality. We found three interspecific bred lines (SER 212, SER 213, and RRA 81), with NQI values higher than 0.8. These three lines belong to the typology group of HBF. The superior nutritional quality of these three interspecific bred lines is attributed to a greater level of bioactive compounds and antioxidant capacity. These three bred lines may serve as useful parents to develop nutritionally superior and stress-resilient beans from bean breeding programs. Further research is needed to explore the role of testa color in improving the nutritional quality of seeds of common bean genotypes grown under different climatic conditions.
