“…The results are similar to those reported for buckwheat albumin where the polypeptides were <20 kDa under non-reducing conditions but resolved as bigger 34 kDa polypeptide under reducing conditions [2]. Table 1 shows that Glx (glutamic acid + glutamine) was the most abundant amino acid in the M. myristica products, which is typical of previous reports for plant seed proteins [2,[23][24][25]. The high Arg level is significant because of the suggested benefits to cardiovascular health, attributed to hypocholesterolemic effects of arginine-containing diets [26].…”

“…Compared with other legumes, common vetch exhibits high concentrations of crude protein between 93 24 to 32% (Francis et al, 2000) and carbohydrates and fiber are comparable to that of lupin (Valentine 94 and Bartsch, 1996). Common vetch seeds contain eighteen amino acids and the ratio of essential amino 95 acids/non-essential amino acids is about 0.7 (Mao et al, 2015) which is significantly higher than the 96 0.38 recommended by WHO (Who, 2007). The principle essential amino acids are arginine and leucine 97 at average concentrations of 2.4% and 2.1%, respectively.…”

“…respectively (Mao et al, 2015). The species also contains a much lower proportion of lipids (only 1.5 100 -2.7%) compared with soybean and this is primarily composed of unsaturated fatty acids (Mao et al, 101 2015).…”

13• Global demand for protein is predicted to increase by 50% by 2050. To meet the increasing demand 14 whilst ensuring sustainability, protein sources that generate low-greenhouse gas emissions are required 15 and protein-rich legume seeds have the potential to make a significant contribution. Legumes like 16 common vetch (Vicia sativa) that grow in marginal cropping zones and are drought tolerant and 17 resilient to changeable annual weather patterns, will be in high demand as the climate changes. In 18 common vetch, the inability to eliminate the γ-glutamyl-β-cyano-alanine (GBCA) toxin present in the 19 seed has hindered its utility as a human and animal food for many decades, leaving this highly resilient 20 species an "orphan" legume. However, the availability of the vetch genome and transcriptome data 21 together with the application of CRISPR-Cas genome editing technologies lay the foundations to 22 eliminate the GBCA toxin constraint. In the near future, we anticipate that a zero-toxin vetch variety 23 will become a significant contributor to global protein demand. 24

“…They speculated that secondary organic acid formation in high-elevation regions and the changes in the Asian monsoon might exert an important role in the increased organic compounds within ascending tropical moisture. Mao et al (2015) analyzed fatty acid, amino acid, and mineral composition of four common vetch seeds on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The results showed the seeds possessed low lipid (1.55-2.74% of dry weight) and high unsaturated fatty acid (74.51-77.36% of total fatty acid).…”

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau plays an important role in the ecological safety and human health of the surroundings due to its unique geographical position and function. Therefore, it is necessary to study the pollution status and potential risk in this area. This study summarizes the distribution of different organic pollutants in biota and environmental media of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Moreover, it also pays attention to the potential health risks of these organic pollutants. Organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) were the most frequently detected in different matrices. In general, the carcinogenic risks of organic pollutants were ranked in the verylow to moderate range for both children and adults. The carcinogenic risks of organic pollutants in fish, food, and water for children were 1-2 times higher than those for adults, while risks of organic pollutants in soil/sediment and in air for children were generally 10.6-16.5 and 2.6-2.8 times higher than those for adults, respectively. The maximal hazard quotient for non-carcinogenic risk was 0.95 (potential risk for children posed by organic pollutants in yak milk of Ruoergai), almost reaching an unacceptable level. Therefore, the potential health risks could not be neglected, especially for children who were more likely to be affected by the pollutants.
