“…The priority in selection has been of carioca bean lines that have lighter grains (ARNS et al, 2018;RIBEIRO et al, 2008), a mass of 100 grains between 25 and 30 g, an elliptical shape, a semi-full degree of grain flatness (CARBONELL et al, 2010;SANTOS et al, 2016) and a cooking time less than 25 min (RIBEIRO et al, 2013a;SANTOS et al, 2016;STECKLING et al, 2017). Advances have also been made in nutritional quality breeding through the development of carioca bean lines with high concentrations of proteins (MINGOTTE et al, 2013;PEREIRA et al, 2017;SILVA et al, 2012) and minerals (JOST et al, 2013;MAZIERO et al, 2015;RIBEIRO et al, 2013a, b;SILVA et al, 2012;STECKLING et al, 2017) in the grains. However, no previous works were found in the literature assessing whether carioca beans available in the market exhibit high visual, technological, cooking and nutritional quality.…”
