Abstract
Faba beans are emerging as sustainable quality plant protein sources, with the potential to help meet the growing global demand for more nutritious and healthy foods. The faba bean, in addition to its high protein content and well-balanced amino acid profile, contains bioactive constituents with health-enhancing properties, including bioactive peptides, phenolic compounds, GABA, and L-DOPA. Faba bean peptides released after gastrointestinal digestion have shown antioxidant, antidiabetic, antihypertensive, cholesterol-lowering, and anti-inflammatory effects, indicating a strong potential for this legume crop to be used as a functional food to help face the increasing incidences of non-communicable diseases. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the current body of knowledge on the nutritional and biofunctional qualities of faba beans, with a particular focus on protein-derived bioactive peptides and how they are affected by food processing. It further covers the adverse health effects of faba beans associated with the presence of anti-nutrients and potential allergens, and it outlines research gaps and needs.

Abstract
The bioaccessibility of minerals during food digestion is essential in facilitating absorption and hence mineral bioavailability. Bioprocessing approaches have shown promising effects on Fe and Zn bioaccessibility in plant food matrices. In this study, lactic acid bacteria fermentation or enzymatic hydrolysis was performed on pea protein concentrates (PPCs) to investigate their effects on the bioaccessibility of fortified Fe and Zn salts. Simulated digestion studies revealed that enzymatic hydrolysis was more effective than fermentation. Phytase treatment significantly (P < 0.05) improved Fe3+ bioaccessibility by 5- and 12-fold during fasted and fed digestion stages, respectively. Combined phytase and protease hydrolysis led to a 6- and 15-fold enhancement of Fe3+ bioaccessibility during these stages. None of the bioprocessing approaches led to significant promotive effects on Zn2+ bioaccessibility during fasted or fed digestion. Results of this study show the potential of enzymatic treatment of PPC to significantly promote Fe bioaccessibility.

Tissue culture-based genetic improvement of fava bean (Vicia faba L.): analysis on previous achievements and future perspectives. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2021; 105:6531-6546. [PMID: 34427764 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-021-11517-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2021] [Revised: 08/09/2021] [Accepted: 08/10/2021] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
Abstract
Fava bean is an extremely important legume and serves immense potential to function as an ingredient as pulse proteins in human diet. Bearing the proficiency of yielding magnanimous amount of functional and nutritional ingredients, this bean deserves to replace any other leguminous crop too. The instability of fava bean in its yield makes breeding for crop improvement difficult, and its high susceptibility to a number of abiotic and biotic stresses additionally results in unstable yields. The self-incompatibility leads to the formation of a limited genetic pool and shows a slow progress in breeding. The plant is highly recalcitrant, making it an onerous task to micropropagate or regenerate fava beans under in vitro conditions. Another fly in the ointment is the release of phenolic compounds by the plant. There are several endeavours that have been made to establish in vitro regeneration, protoplast culture, and genetic transformation and to genetically improve this plant. Nonetheless there are a number of promising cutting-edge technologies that are yet to be harnessed in order to ensure its comprehensive and sustainable genetic improvement. The in vitro-based technologies of this legume and its untraveled path in the plant tissue culture-mediated approaches can assist further genetic manipulation of this plant species in a smoother manner and at an exponential rate. Creation of a single review comprising all the updates and genetic advancements in fava bean is an absolute necessity of the hour. Thus, the importance of this review remains at the peak as it covers a vast range of information, starting from the basic description to the utmost modern stages of advancement in the selected crop. Overall interpretation of the review is aimed at encouraging readers to focus on almost all possible dimensions of international research, already executed, and is being executed in fava bean, thereby helping to understand the demand and advantages of the crop, even at the molecular level.Key points• Fava bean, commonly known as "poor man's meat", is a protein-rich legume with multiple nutritional and pharmacological benefits.• Its highly recalcitrant response makes in vitro interventions quite challenging for its genetic improvement.• This review delves into biotechnological interventions for its advancements to date and highlights major hurdles and potential research solutions to ensure comprehensive genetic improvement.

Abstract
Common bean cotyledons are rich in minerals (Mg, Ca, Fe and Zn), but they also contain natural barriers that can potentially prevent mineral absorption during digestion. In this study, both the cell wall integrity and mineral chelators/antinutrients (phytic acid and pectin) were investigated as natural barriers in common bean cotyledons. To examine the cell wall integrity as a physical barrier for mineral diffusion, soluble mineral content was determined in a cooked cotyledon sample before and after disruption of intact cell walls. While this study showed that the cell wall in cooked common bean cotyledons does not hinder mineral diffusion, it also demonstrated that the presence of antinutrients decreases mineral bioaccessibility. It was shown that a certain mineral fraction is naturally bound to phytic acid and/or pectin and, by enzymatically degrading these antinutrients, the antinutrient-chelated mineral fraction decreased. Moreover, although pH changes are occurring during simulated digestion experiments, which might affect charge of the antinutrients and thus their chelating capacity for minerals, no difference in mineral distribution over antinutrients was observed due to digestion. In addition, this study showed that mineral bioaccessibility in common bean cotyledons could be potentially increased by degrading antinutrients during digestion in the small intestinal phase.

Abstract
Mineral (Mg, Ca, Fe and Zn) bioaccessibility in common beans was evaluated taking into consideration the common bean food chain from postharvest storage over processing (soaking and cooking) until consumption. Beans were stored under realistic tropical conditions (35 °C and 80% RH) which resulted in significantly different cooking behaviour after 8 weeks compared to freshly harvested beans. Based on postcooking hardness, different storage times were selected: unstored, 8 and 20 weeks. Independently of storage conditions, beans were soaked overnight and cooked for 30, 60 or 120 min. The mineral bioaccessibility decreased with increase in both storage and cooking times. Decrease in mineral bioaccessibility with increasing storage time was proved to be the result of increasing mineral chelation of cell wall polymers (e.g. pectin). Additionally, we hypothesize that by cooking, mineral chelators become more accessible, e.g. through pectin solubilization phenomena, in turn capturing more free minerals leading to a reduced mineral bioaccessibility.

Abstract
Plant-based foods gain more importance since they play a key role in sustainable, low-meat and healthy diets. In developing countries, these food products, especially legumes and cereals, are important staple foods. Nevertheless, the question arises on how efficient they are to deliver minerals and if it is useful to encourage their consumption to reduce the prevalence of mineral deficiencies? This review paper focuses on the discrepancy between the mineral content and the amount of minerals that can be released and absorbed from plant-based foods during human digestion which can be attributed to several inherent factors such as the presence of mineral antinutrients (phytic acid, polyphenols and dietary fiber) and physical barriers (surrounding macronutrients and cell wall). Further, this review paper summarizes the effects of different processing techniques (milling, soaking, dehulling, fermentation, germination and thermal processing) on mineral bioaccessibility and bioavailability of plant-based foods. The positive impact of these techniques mostly relies on the fact that antinutrients levels are reduced due to removal of fractions rich in antinutrients and/or due to their leaching into the processing liquid. Although processing can have a positive effect, it also can induce leaching out of minerals and a reduced mineral bioaccessibility and bioavailability.

Abstract
Iron-binding peptides are an alternative for increasing the bioavailability of iron and to decreasing its pro-oxidant effect. This study aimed to synthesize and characterize peptide-iron complexes using FeCl2 or FeSO4 as the iron precursor compounds. Whey protein isolate (WPI), WPI hydrolyzed with pancreatin, and its fractions obtained via ultrafiltration (cut-off 5kDa) were used as ligands. The fluorescence intensity of the ligands significantly decreased as the iron concentration increased as a result of metal coordination with the iron-binding sites, which may have led to changes in the microenvironment of tryptophan. For both iron precursor compounds, the primary iron-binding site was carboxylate groups, and the linkage occurred via a bidentate coordination mode with two vibrational modes assigned to the COOFe linkage. However, infrared spectroscopy and thermal analysis results showed that the dynamics of the interaction is different for the iron precursor. The iron source may be of great importance because it may impact iron absorption and the pro-oxidant effect of the mineral.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Iron is an essential micronutrient required for normal growth and development of the body. Infants are more vulnerable to develop iron-deficiency anaemia due to inadequate iron supply in early stages. The objective of the study was in vivo assessment of iron bioavailability from pearl millet based weaning food fortified with iron and vitamin A, and to investigate the role of vitamin A in iron absorption in animal models. RESULTS Results revealed that anaemic group showed significantly (P < 0.05) higher bioavailability than that of normal rat models. Animals fed vitamin A supplemented pearl-millet diet exhibited comparable results with a sub-group provided commercially available weaning diet in both normal and anaemic groups, but significantly (P < 0.05) higher values for studied biological indices than that of a sub-group provided iron fortified pearl-millet or synthetic diet. When the anaemic rats were provided iron + vitamin A fortified diet, iron bioavailability increased and liver iron stores returned to the normal levels after 30 days, indicating a promoter role of vitamin A in intestinal iron absorption. CONCLUSIONS Overall, bioavailability of electrolytic iron could be improved by supplementation of vitamin A, and this mixture can be considered as a useful fortificant for pearl millet based complementary foods fortification designed to prevent iron deficiency. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry.
