Effect of Dehulling and Germination on Physicochemical and Pasting Properties of Black Beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)

Abstract

Cereal Chem. 94(1):98-103Dehulled and/or germinated black bean flours were physicochemically characterized, including pasting properties, along with the trypsin inhibitor and antioxidant phenolics. To our best knowledge, this is the first study that, using nonparametric correlations and principal component analysis, identifies the parameters affecting the pasting properties of germinated black bean flour. The carbohydrate loss observed after black bean germination was indirectly correlated with the crude fiber content. Therefore, germination increased the protein and crude fiber contents compared with raw seeds (from 19.1 and 2.4% to 24.0 and 5.1%, respectively). Additionally, the highest protein digestibility was obtained in dehulled germinated black bean flour (78.4%), followed by whole germinated seed flour (74.1%). The dehulling process increased the total starch content 13.5 and 18.8% compared with raw and germinated whole bean flours, respectively. Dehulling decreased both trypsin inhibitor activity and antioxidant phenolics. Germination reduced by twofold the peak and final viscosities of black bean flours. Interestingly, both viscosities were negatively correlated with protein and positively correlated with fat and insoluble dietary fiber. Although resistant starch content was not affected by germination or dehulling, its interactions with fat and insoluble dietary fiber were responsible of the changes observed in pasting properties of germinated black bean flour. † Corresponding

“…Furthermore, the starch and ash contents decreased in the sprouted chickpea flour (yield of 90% compared to unsprouted chickpea). In another study with black bean, germination increased the ash content (slightly), crude protein content (relative to total dry matter), and the pasting temperatures, and decreased the carbohydrate content, insoluble dietary fiber, minerals (Ca, Fe), and paste viscosities (peak and final); the soluble dietary fiber content and starch content remained unchanged (Guajardo‐Flores et al., ).…”

Whole nuña bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) flour showed higher direct expansion during extrusion processing at relatively lower temperatures

“…Pasting properties were analyzed to estimate the temperature at which starch starts to gelatinize. This is an important indicator that helps to understand the flow of raw materials during processing (Kowalski et al, 2015) and facilitates the selection of raw materials for use in the specific food application (Guajardo-Flores et al, 2017). Gelatinization temperature (T g ) is a temperature at which the viscosity of heated flour slurry starts to increase, and the peak viscosity (PV) is the maximum viscosity observed during the heating cycle.…”

Influence of sprouting on phenolic composition and starch characteristics of lentil and horse gram

“…Increase in the activity of various enzymes results in starch and protein hydrolysis, which increases the bioavailability of nutrients and alters starch characteristics (Lopez et al ., ). Hence, sprouting is considered as a simple processing method that can be used to influence the functional properties and improve nutrient composition of seeds (Guajardo‐Flores et al , ). Apart from starch, other components that are affected by series of events occurring during sprouting are protein and phenols.…”
