Abstract
Panda bean protein isolate (PDPI), a legume-protein with Chinese characteristics, was investigated as an alternative potential food protein source. The physicochemical characteristics, functional properties and amino-acid composition of PDPI were determined and compared with soybean (SPI) and pea protein isolate (PPI). Results showed that PDPI was rich in phaseolin (mainly 7S vicilin), and its molecular weight was lower than that of SPI and PPI which were rich in legumin and vicilin. In comparison to SPI and PPI, PDPI showed the lowest solubility, surface-charge and surface-tension at pH 3.0, 7.0 and 9.0, but it exhibited comparable or even superior functionalities, especially in emulsifying and foaming abilities, gelling behaviour, rheological and textural properties. Moreover, the amino-acid composition and protein efficiency ratio of PDPI were excellent. The knowledge gained in the study is expected to provide reliable scientific science data for the potential application of PDPI in the food industry.

Antinutritional factors, nutritional improvement, and future food use of common beans: A perspective. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2022; 13:992169. [PMID: 36082303 PMCID: PMC9445668 DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2022.992169] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2022] [Accepted: 08/02/2022] [Indexed: 06/06/2023]
Abstract
Common bean seeds are an excellent source of protein as well as of carbohydrates, minerals, vitamins, and bioactive compounds reducing, when in the diet, the risks of diseases. The presence of bioactive compounds with antinutritional properties (e.g., phytic acid, lectins, raffinosaccharides, protease inhibitors) limits, however, the bean's nutritional value and its wider use in food preparations. In the last decades, concerted efforts have been, therefore, made to develop new common bean genotypes with reduced antinutritional compounds by exploiting the natural genetic variability of common bean and also applying induced mutagenesis. However, possible negative, or positive, pleiotropic effects due to these modifications, in terms of plant performance in response to stresses or in the resulting technological properties of the developed mutant genotypes, have yet not been thoroughly investigated. The purpose of the perspective paper is to first highlight the current advances, which have been already made in mutant bean characterization. A view will be further provided on future research directions to specifically explore further advantages and disadvantages of these bean mutants, their potential use in innovative foods and representing a valuable genetic reservoir of combinations to assess the true functional role of specific seed bioactive components directly in the food matrix.

Phaseolin from Phaseolus vulgaris bean modulates gut mucin flow and gene expression in rats. Br J Nutr 2010; 104:1740-7.

Abstract
Dietary protein might modulate mucin flow and intestinal mucin gene expression. Since unheated phaseolin from Phaseolus vulgaris bean is resistant to digestion and increases gut endogenous protein losses, we hypothesised that unheated phaseolin influences mucin flow and gene expression, and that phaseolin heat treatment reverses these effects. The hypothesis was tested using a control diet containing casein as the sole protein source and three other diets with casein being replaced by 33 and 67 % of unheated and 67 % of heated phaseolin. The rats were fed for 6 d and euthanised. Digesta and faeces were collected for determining digestibility and mucin flow. Gut tissues were collected for mucin (Muc1, Muc2, Muc3 and Muc4) and Trefoil factor 3 (Tff3) gene expressions. Colonic mucin flow decreased linearly with increasing the dietary level of unheated phaseolin (P < 0·05). Unheated phaseolin increased N flow in ileum, colon and faeces (P < 0·05), and reduced apparent N digestibility linearly (P < 0·01). Heat treatment reversed all these changes (P < 0·05 to < 0·001), except mucin flow. The expressions of Muc mRNA in gut tissues were influenced by dietary phaseolin level (ileum and colon: Muc3 and Muc4) and thermal treatment (ileum: Muc2; colon: Muc2, Muc3, Muc4 and Tff3) (P < 0·05 to 0·001). In conclusion, phaseolin modulates mucin flow and Muc gene expression along the intestines differentially.
