“…Hulls are considered mostly as a fibrous fraction of the seeds (Tosh & Yada, 2010). Data in the literature regarding the mineral content in hulls are very limited as pulses are typically analyzed as the whole or dehulled seed (Sparvoli, Bollini, & Cominelli, 2015;Wang, Hatcher, Tyler, Toews, & Gawalko, 2010). Among the studies of hulls and dehulled seeds was the investigation by Hove (1974) in New Zealand.…”

Australian produced pulse grains are exported worldwide, predominantly to developing countries where severe essential mineral deficiencies putatively subsist. An in vitro digestion model that simulates human gastric, intestinal and colonic digestion and fermentation, was used to examine the bioaccessibility of Fe, Mg, K, Ca, P, Zn, Mn, and Cu in commercially available cultivars of Australian field pea, lentil, and sweet lupin. The hull and dehulled seeds were prepared following a traditional cooking method, and quantities of bioaccessible minerals were assessed at each stage of in vitro digestion using ICP‐OES elemental analyses. Results revealed that dehulled field pea (100 g dry weight) had the highest bioaccessible quantity of Fe (2.44 ± 0.73 mg), K (717.10 ± 56.66 mg), P (272.88 ± 9.30 mg), Zn (1.72.028 ± 0.28 mg), and Cu (0.41 ± 0.02 mg). Dehulled lupin was the best source of Mg (138.62 ± 1.53 mg) and Mn (1.28 ± 0.0.06 mg), and lentil hull showed the greatest Ca bioaccessible quantity (116.33 ± 16.73 mg/100 g dry weight). Additionally, the fed state digestion (11.7 mg bile/mL sample) increased the bioaccessibility of all elements significantly (P < 0.05) compared to fasted (1.95 mg bile/mL sample), except for Zn and Mn in lupin and lentils. These results demonstrated that dehulled seeds possess higher mineral bioaccessibility on a percentage basis compared with hulls, and that the fed state of in vitro digestion generally improved the mineral solubility significantly (P < 0.05). Practical Application This research aimed to assess the prospective biological accessibility of various essential elements in three commercially available Australian pulses. Results of the study provided an insight into the contents of essential minerals in Australian pulses and illustrated the impact of traditional cooking of dehulled pulses on these minerals bioaccessibility. These findings will provide the consumers with information about some nutritional aspects of major Australian pulses.

“…Although less important than cereals, the common bean is an affordable source of vegetable proteins, calories, and micronutrients [2]. Like for other legumes, the major limitations are represented by the low content of sulfur-amino acids and the presence of anti-nutritional compounds [3].…”

Genotyping-by-Sequencing Reveals Molecular Genetic Diversity in Italian Common Bean Landraces

et al. 2019

The common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is one of the main legumes worldwide and represents a valuable source of nutrients. Independent domestication events in the Americas led to the formation of two cultivated genepools, namely Mesoamerican and Andean, to which European material has been brought back. In this study, Italian common bean landraces were analyzed for their genetic diversity and structure, using single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers derived from genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) technology. After filtering, 11,866 SNPs were obtained and 798 markers, pruned for linkage disequilibrium, were used for structure analysis. The most probable number of subpopulations (K) was two, consistent with the presence of the two genepools, identified through the phaseolin diagnostic marker. Some landraces were admixed, suggesting probable hybridization events between Mesoamerican and Andean material. When increasing the number of possible Ks, the Andean germplasm appeared to be structured in two or three subgroups. The subdivision within the Andean material was also observed in a principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) plot and a dendrogram based on genetic distances. The Mesoamerican landraces showed a higher level of genetic diversity compared to the Andean landraces. Calculation of the fixation index (FST) at individual SNPs between the Mesoamerican and Andean genepools and within the Andean genepool evidenced clusters of highly divergent loci in specific chromosomal regions. This work may help to preserve landraces of the common bean from genetic erosion, and could represent a starting point for the identification of interesting traits that determine plant adaptation.

RESUMEN:Las leguminosas constituyen una de las familias botá-nicas más importantes desde el punto de vista nutricional, siendo un componente importante de la dieta mediterránea y esencial en la de numerosos países en desarrollo. Legumbres tales como garbanzo, lenteja, altramuz, guisante y habas son reconocidas como fuentes de proteínas, almidón, fibra, vitaminas y minerales. En este trabajo, quedan incluidas las evidencias científicas relativas al papel que juegan las legumbres en la nutrición humana así como las propiedades preventivas que ejercen algunos de sus componentes bioactivos en enfermedades tales como la diabetes tipo-2, hipercolesterolemia, hipertensión, obesidad, enfermedades inflamatorias y cáncer. Por último, se analiza los datos de consumo de legumbres en los hogares españoles, los cuales demuestran un descenso superior al 60 % en las últimas décadas. Esto debe ser corregido con políticas de promoción de dieta saludable así como por medidas de adaptación al nuevo mercado con la aparición de nuevos productos que vayan orientados a las preferencias actuales del consumidor.PALABRAS CLAVE: legumbres; nutrición humana; compuestos bioactivos; salud; prevención; inflamación; cáncer; diabetes tipo-2; hipercolesterolemia; consumidor. ABSTRACT:The Leguminosae is one of the most important botanical families from a nutritional perspective, constituting one of the main ingredients in the Mediterranean diet and an essential food in developing countries. Grain legumes like chickpea, lentil, lupin, pea and beans are well known sources of proteins, starch, fiber, vitamins and minerals. In this paper, scientific evidence for the role of legumes in human nutrition, as well as the preventive properties of some of their bioactive components in diseases like type-2 diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, obesity, inflammatory diseases and cancer, are considered. Finally, data of consumption in Spanish households was analyzed, where a 60% decrease has been observed over the last decades. This trend must be reversed by implementing policies to promote healthy diet and by adapting to a new market by means of developing novel products oriented to consumer preferences.
