Abstract
An analytical approach has been developed to verify the authenticity of premium lentils originating from Eglouvi, Lefkada, Greece. The method relies on the digestion of samples followed by the analysis of their rare earth elements (REEs) content. Lentils originating from Eglouvi exhibit higher content in most REEs compared to lentils from other regions as well as distinct Sc/Y and Sc/Yb concentration ratios. Principal component analysis effectively segregates "Eglouvi" lentils into a distinct cluster. Soft Independent Modelling of Class Analogy (SIMCA) successfully models "Eglouvi" lentils. Significant enhancement in model specificity was achieved upon inclusion of Sc/Y and Sc/Yb concentration ratios as additional variables. The model is capable of detecting adulteration in blends of Eglouvi lentils, with a minimum rejection threshold of 4.6% w/w for Greek lentil adulterants and 6.0% w/w for imported lentil adulterants.

Abstract
Dehulled pea, lentil, and faba bean grains were milled into flours with 0.5- to 2.5-mm sieves. As the particle size decreased, damaged-starch contents of the flours from the same pulse crop increased. At a holding temperature of 95 °C in RVA, peak and final viscosities and gelling ability of the flours generally increased as the particle size decreased. When the holding temperature increased from 95 to 140 °C, pasting viscosities of pea and lentil flours and gel hardness of lentil flours gradually decreased. In contrast, pasting viscosities and gel hardness of faba bean flours reached the highest values at 120 °C. The comparison of the pulse flours varying in particle size across the three market classes revealed that coarse particles comprising agglomerated starch, protein, and dietary fiber (i.e., particles of the second peak in the bimodal particle-size distribution curves) showed significant correlations with certain important functional properties of pulse flours.

Abstract
The potential to produce protein-structured vegan yogurts with legumes was explored to offer an alternative to conventional polysaccharide-based varieties. Glucono-δ-lactone (GDL) was employed as a slow acidifying agent and was investigated for its ability to generate cold-set, yogurt-like gels using soy and lentil milks made using minimal processing steps. Soy (5.3 % protein) and lentil (6.1 % protein) milks were successfully gelled by GDL at concentrations of 0.5 % and 1 % w/w. Soy and lentil milks experienced similar acidification profiles and demonstrated good fits with double-exponential decay models. The physical properties of these legume gels were evaluated and compared to a commercial stirred dairy yogurt. Penetration tests were carried out on intact gels, then repeated after stirring. All intact soy samples demonstrated significantly stronger gel structures compared to the commercial yogurt, and most experienced greater amounts of brittleness. Results showed that the stirring of gels caused a notable decrease in firmness and brittleness in the soy gels, making them more similar to the control. Power-law modelling of viscosity curves demonstrated that all samples experienced non-Newtonian flow behavior (n < 0.29). Susceptibility to syneresis was measured by the degree of liquid loss following centrifugation. The optimization of protein type and GDL concentration to replicate the physical properties of dairy-based yogurts can enhance their consumer acceptance and provide a more customizable and controlled approach alternative to traditional fermentation methods.

Abstract
During germination sensu-stricto in pulses, an increase in the content of thiamine (B1) and folate (B9) vitamins is expected, along with a reduction in α-galactoside levels. The aim of our study was to optimize germination to increase the nutritional quality of lentils and cowpeas. An experimental design was carried out at 12 h and 24 h of imbibition to analyze the effects of temperature, light, and water content on thiamine, folate, and α-galactoside content. Germination increased thiamine content by 152% in lentils, while in cowpeas, the increase was only 10%. Folate content in cowpea increased by 33%, while α-galactoside content decreased by 99% in cowpeas and by 48% in lentils. Germination sensu-stricto can be safely implemented by any food company worldwide as it is simple and involves less sanitary risk than sprouting. This opens up opportunities for enhancing food nutrient content and new ways of processing pulses.

Abstract
Utilizing lentil protein as a novel ingredient for producing texturized vegetable proteins (TVPs) can provide new opportunities for the production of next-generation hybrid meat products. TVPs from lentil protein isolate were manufactured using low-moisture extrusion cooking at different combinations of screw speed (SS), feed moisture content (MC), and barrel temperature (BT) profile. In total, seven different combinations of processing treatments were tested, and the resulting TVPs were characterized for their physical (rehydration ratio, texture profile analysis, color, and bulk density), techno-functional (oil and water holding capacities), and microstructural properties. The processing conditions of higher SS and lower MC resulted in increased values of several textural profile attributes (springiness, cohesiveness, and resilience), increased water holding capacity (WHC), and decreased bulk density. Compared to raw lentil protein, TVPs showed enhanced oil holding capacity, though WHC either decreased or remained constant. The extrusion response parameters (die pressure, torque, and specific mechanical energy) showed positive correlations with several physical properties (texture, WHC, and total color change), revealing their potential for serving as important TVP quality indicators. TVPs produced at SS, MC, and BT of 450 rpm, 30%, and 140°C, respectively, showed relatively better overall physical and techno-functional quality and can be used as meat extenders in hybrid meat patties. Overall, this research evidenced the viability of lentil protein as a potential ingredient for producing low-moisture TVPs.

Abstract
Natural compounds like flavonoids preserve intestinal mucosal integrity through their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. Additionally, some flavonoids show prebiotic abilities, promoting the growth and activity of beneficial gut bacteria. This study investigates the protective impact of Lens culinaris extract (LE), which is abundant in flavonoids, on intestinal mucosal integrity during LPS-induced inflammation. Using Caco-2 cells as a model for the intestinal barrier, the study found that LE did not affect cell viability but played a cytoprotective role in the presence of LPS. LE improved transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) and tight junction (TJ) protein levels, which are crucial for barrier integrity. It also countered the upregulation of pro-inflammatory genes TRPA1 and TRPV1 induced by LPS and reduced pro-inflammatory markers like TNF-α, NF-κB, IL-1β, and IL-8. Moreover, LE reversed the LPS-induced upregulation of AQP8 and TLR-4 expression. These findings emphasize the potential of natural compounds like LE to regulate the intestinal barrier and reduce inflammation's harmful effects on intestinal cells. More research is required to understand their mechanisms and explore therapeutic applications, especially for gastrointestinal inflammatory conditions.

Abstract
Accumulation of heavy metals in food is a major concern for humans' health. This study was aimed at determining the levels of Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni and Zn in chickpea, lentil and pea samples and evaluating the health risk for consumers. The concentrations (in mg/kg) of Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn, and Ni were varied from 23.6-48, 67.7-132.3, 15-26.5, 37.6-68.2, and 25.5-33.3 in chickpea, 39.8-80.5, 116.1-180.5, 12.1-21.6, 36.4-57.2, and 25.4-34.1 for lentil and 32-64.2, 51.6-100.0, 6.3-15, 25.3-42.5, and 25.5-48.5 for peas, respectively. Pearson correlation verified that strong positive correlations were observed between Cu and Zn in lentils, Ni and Mn, Fe with Cu and Mn in peas. Target hazard quotients (THQ) except Ni in all samples, Cu in lentil and pea were < 1 and the hazard index (HI) values of all heavy metals were greater than 1, thus an appropriate strategy is required to reduce exposure to heavy metals.

Abstract
The need to provide novel, nutritious plant-based products requires seeking high-value, sustainable protein sources, like quinoa and lentils, having an increased digestibility and lacking antinutrients. Fungal fermentation has evidenced enhanced nutritional value of flours obtained from these grains. However, research into techno-functional properties, essential to the new product development, is lacking. This study investigated the techno-functional properties of flours made from lentil and quinoa after fermenting them with Pleurotus ostreatus and subjecting them to two drying techniques (lyophilisation and hot air drying). In both cases, the fermentation led to noteworthy improvements in swelling and water holding capacity, especially in those lyophilised than those dried. In contrast, the emulsifying, foaming, thickening, and gelling capacities decreased significantly. The loss of abilities was more severe for dried grains than for lyophilized ones. The thermomechanical analysis of the fermented flours showed lower thickening and gelling potential compared to untreated flours. Microscopy images revealed that the state and structure of starch granules were affected by both fermentation and drying processes. Starch granules in lentils were partly pre-gelatinised and trapped in the cotyledon cell, resulting in limited thickening and gelling abilities. In contrast, in quinoa, starch underwent pre-gelatinisation and retrogradation during the fermentation process, promoting the production of resistant starch and increasing fibre content. This study presents the potential of treated flours as ingredients possessing unique attributes compared to protein and fibre-rich conventional products.

Abstract
Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lentis and F. acuminatum cause wilting and root rot in pulse crops including lentil. Fungicide seed treatments are widely used, but information about Fusarium spp. sensitivity in lentils is limited. Here, 30 F. oxysporum f. sp. lentis and 30 F. acuminatum isolates from Montana, southern Canada, North Dakota, and Washington were identified, tested for pathogenicity, and assayed for in vitro sensitivity to pyraclostrobin, prothioconazole, ipconazole, and thiophanate-methyl. F. oxysporum f. sp. lentis and F. acuminatum differed in their sensitivity to all fungicides. No resistant isolates were identified, but F. oxysporum f. sp. lentis had lower EC50 values in pyraclostrobin (averaging 0.47 μg a.i./ml) than F. acuminatum (averaging 0.89 μg a.i./ml) for mycelia assays. Both species had lower EC50 values in prothioconazole, averaging EC50 0.23 in F. oxysporum f. sp. lentis and 0.53 μg a.i./ml in F. acuminatum. F. oxysporum f. sp. lentis isolates had the lowest EC50 values on ipconazole compared to F. acuminatum (0.78 and 1.49 μg a.i./ml). The pathogens were least sensitive to thiophanate-methyl (1.74 μg a.i./ml for F. oxysporum f. sp. lentis and 1.91 μg a.i./ml for F. acuminatum). Overall sensitivity to the fungicides was higher in F. oxysporum f. sp. lentis than F. acuminatum. This study provides reference EC50 values while pointing to the possibility of differential fungicide efficacies on Fusarium spp. This will be helpful to monitor shifts in sensitivity of Fusarium spp. and devise robust root rot/wilt management approaches.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Egg replacement is a notable food trend for academics and industry. Dry-fractionated protein concentrates (DFp) are minimally processed and sustainable ingredients. DFp from chickpea, red lentil and mung bean, prepared as aqueous dispersions at 20-40% (w/w), were used to replace egg in sponge cakes. To understand the effect of DFp on the physicochemical features of sponge cakes, the batter rheological properties (i.e., flow behavior, frequency-dependent and temperature-dependent behaviors) were investigated. RESULTS Frequency sweep revealed a higher storage modulus (G') than loss modulus (G″), indicating predominantly elastic-like behavior, dependent on the frequency. Increasing DFp content, especially at 40%, resulted in firmer batters, indicated by elevated apparent viscosity. During temperature sweep, G' increased starting from 80 °C in all DFp-based batters, indicating protein and starch conformational changes. Higher DFp content better simulated the egg behavior, affecting specific volume and thickness variation after baking but resulting in harder cakes. Crumb structure was similar to the control, highlighting that DFp can emulate the egg behavior in cake preparation. Protein content in cakes containing 30% DFp was similar to the control. However, the addition of DFp caused an increase in phytic acid. Sensory analysis of sponge cakes revealed differences in crust color, sweetness and legume flavor, with minimal effect on astringency. Chickpea and lentil DFp are suggested as preferred alternatives because of their to milder sensory impact. CONCLUSION Overall, eggs in cake formulation can be substituted by plant-based protein produced by dry fractionation. However, further research is essential to evaluate the nutritional characteristics. © 2023 The Authors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Incorporation of lentils and dried peas could form the basis of a nutrient-rich diet; yet, they are among the least-consumed legumes in the United States (US). The objective of this study was to examine the prevalence of lentils/dried peas consumption in the US over time and across socio-demographic groups, as well as to examine the eating context of these foods. METHODS Analyses included adults (aged 18 years or older) and children (aged 3-17 years) participating in National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2003-2004 through 2017-2018. Participants consuming lentils/dried peas on one or both of the 24-h dietary recalls were categorized as consumers. RESULTS Although an increasing time trend in prevalence of consumption was observed over the study period, prevalence of lentils/dried peas consumption was less than 7% in NHANES 2017-2018 in adults and children. Demographic differences were observed, such that a greater proportion of non-Hispanic Asians were classified as consumers. Lentils/dried peas were primarily obtained from grocery stores and supermarkets. CONCLUSIONS Although there are signs of rising acceptance of dried peas and lentils, the low prevalence of lentils/dried peas consumption suggests that understanding barriers to consumption of these foods could further identify opportunities to improve their consumption.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to analyze whether it is possible to brew beer without using cereals so that the produced beverage could be easily accessible for the population suffering from celiac disease and other gluten-related disorders. Green lentil seeds were malted and then mashed using a congress mashing procedure to assess their advantages and disadvantages in the brewing process. Based on the congress mashing procedure, the mashing process needed to produce beer was developed, and beers were produced from the lentil malts germinated during malting for 96 h, 120 h and 144 h. It was possible to produce beers from the lentil malts; however, they were characterized by a lower alcohol content, lower degree of attenuation and some discrepancies between the concentrations of various volatiles (such as acetaldehyde, ethyl acetate, and 1-propanol) compared to the control beer produced from barley malt.

Abstract
The imidazolinone group of herbicides generally work for controlling weeds by limiting the synthesis of the aceto-hydroxy-acid enzyme, which is linked to the biosynthesis of branched-chain amino acids in plant cells. The herbicide imazethapyr is from the class and the active ingredient of this herbicide is the same as other herbicides Contour, Hammer, Overtop, Passport, Pivot, Pursuit, Pursuit Plus, and Resolve. It is commonly used for controlling weeds in soybeans, alfalfa hay, corn, rice, peanuts, etc. Generally, the herbicide imazethapyr is safe and non-toxic for target crops and environmentally friendly when it is used at low concentration levels. Even though crops are extremely susceptible to herbicide treatment at the seedling stage, there have been no observations of its higher dose on lentils (Lens culinaris Medik.) at that stage. The current study reports the consequence of imazethapyr treatment on phenolic acid and flavonoid contents along with the antioxidant activity of the phenolic extract. Imazethapyr treatment significantly increased the activities of several antioxidant enzymes, including phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL), phenol oxidase (POD), glutathione reductase (GR), and glutathione-s-transferase (GST), in lentil seedlings at doses of 0 RFD, 0.5 RFD, 1 RFD, 1.25 RFD, 1.5 RFD, and 2 RFD. Application of imazethapyr resulted in the 3.2 to 26.31 and 4.57-27.85% increase in mean phenolic acid and flavonoid content, respectively, over control. However, the consequent fold increase in mean antioxidant activity under 2, 2- diphenylpicrylhdrazyl (DPPH) and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assay system was in the range of 1.17-1.85 and 1.47-2.03%. Mean PAL and POD activities increased by 1.63 to 3.66 and 1.71 to 3.35-fold, respectively, in agreement with the rise in phenolic compounds, indicating that these enzyme's activities were modulated in response to herbicide treatment. Following herbicide treatments, the mean thiol content also increased significantly in corroboration with the enhancement in GR activity in a dose-dependent approach. A similar increase in GST activity was also observed with increasing herbicide dose.

Abstract
Vitamin D3 (VD3) and iron-blend granules were blended with corn and lentil composite flour (75/25, w/w) and fed into a pilot-scale twin-screw extruder to produce ready-to-eat snacks. The morphology and microstructure of extruded snacks were examined using scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDX), X-ray powder diffraction, and FT-IR. Differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis measured the melting temperature and thermal stability of the extrudates. SEM and FT-IR analysis demonstrate that micronutrients are mixed well in formulations used in extrudates at high shear and high temperatures. The SEM-EDX exhibited the presence of iron, whereas high performance liquid chromatography measurements confirmed the significant retention of VD3 in the extruded snacks. The interaction between VD3 and human osteoblast cells was studied using live imaging and the MMT assay. Overall, for the first time, VD3 and Fe2+ blend granules have been used in an extrusion platform, which has significant potential for the intervention of VD3 and iron deficiencies. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: For the first time, we reported the use of VD3/iron-blend granules in extruded products. The findings of this work demonstrated the thermal stability and capability of providing adequate quantities of VD3 and iron in corn flour/lentil flour/VD3-iron blend extruded snacks. Furthermore, the interaction of VD3 with osteoblast cells highlights the potential health benefits of the extrudates.

Abstract
Solid-state fermentation reportedly improves the nutritional and sensory properties of legumes and pseudocereals. This study examined changes in the volatile profile using HS-SPME-GC-MS of two varieties of lentil and quinoa flour fermented with Pleurotus ostreatus and dried using hot-air drying and lyophilisation. Fermentation significantly increased the volatile profile. Pardina lentil flour showed a 570% increase in its volatile profile, and 10 compounds were created. In white quinoa, the total area rose from 96 to 4500, and 30 compounds were created. Compounds such as 1-octen-3-ol, benzaldehyde, 3-octanone and hexanal were generated during fermentation, providing a sweet, grassy, cocoa flavour. Hot-air drying led to decrease of over 40% in total peak area. Dried fermented flour retained higher levels of compounds that provide a sweet, cocoa aroma. Air-drying temperature had no significant influence on the volatile profile. This a allows the inclusion of these flours in a wide variety of food products.

Abstract
Lentils are a nutritious food in the human diet. High in protein and with low glycemic index, lentils are also a source of folate and other B vitamins. Understanding variability in B vitamin contents among lentils will allow breeders to select for increased levels. We analyzed 34 cultivated and three wild genotypes for vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, and B9 in the cotyledons and seed coats. Variation for all B vitamins was observed across the genotypes. Cotyledons had higher concentrations of B1 and B3, while seed coats had higher concentrations of B2, B5, B6, and B9. Wild accessions had the highest concentrations of vitamin B9 and were among the highest for B2. Differential distribution of B vitamins across seed tissues and lentil genotypes has implications for consumption and for breeding. There is useful genetic variability which could be used to increase B vitamin levels in future lentil varieties.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Iron deficiency is highly prevalent in South Asia, especially among women and children in Bangladesh. Declines in cognitive performance are among the many functional consequences of iron deficiency. OBJECTIVE We tested the hypothesis that, over the course of a 4-month iron fortification trial, cognitive performance would improve, and that improvement would be related to improvements in iron status. METHODS Participants included 359 adolescent girls attending Bangladesh Rural Advancement Committee (BRAC) clubs as a subsample of a larger double-blind, cluster-randomized community trial in which participants were assigned to one of three conditions: a condition in which no lentils were supplied (NL, n = 118, but which had the usual intake of lentils), a control (non-fortified) lentil condition (CL, n = 124), and an iron-fortified lentil condition (FL, n = 117). In the FL and CL conditions, approximately 200 g of cooked lentils were served five days per week for a total of 85 feeding days. In addition to biomarkers of iron status, five cognitive tasks were measured at baseline (BL) and endline (EL): simple reaction time task (SRT), go/no-go task (GNG), attentional network task (ANT), the Sternberg memory search Task (SMS), and a cued recognition task (CRT). RESULTS Cognitive performance at EL was significantly better for those in the FL relative to the CL and NL conditions, with this being true for at least one variable in each task, except for the GNG. In addition, there were consistent improvements in cognitive performance for those participants whose iron status improved. Although there were overall declines in iron status from BL to EL, the declines were smallest for those in the FL condition, and iron status was significantly better for those in FL condition at EL, relative to those in the CL and NL conditions. CONCLUSIONS the provision of iron-fortified lentils provided a protective effect on iron status in the context of declines in iron status and supported higher levels of cognitive performance for adolescent girls at-risk of developing iron deficiency.

Abstract
Lentil, which is an important grain legume, can be co-inoculated with plant growth-promoting rhizobia and rhizobacteria to boost nitrogen fixation, increase biomass, and a possibility for early nodulation. The goal of the ongoing study was to identify plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) in the rhizosphere of lentil growing soils in eastern India. Sixteen rhizosphere bacteria were isolated from two different soil orders, and their capacity to solubilize phosphate and generate hydrogen cyanide (HCN), siderophore, and indole acetic acid (IAA) was assessed. The three best strains were selected for compatibility study with twenty Rhizobium isolated from lentil root nodules. The isolated rhizobacteria were able to produce ammonia and different mycolytic enzymes. Isolate B3 produced the highest amount of IAA and siderophore; the highest amount of phosphate solubilized by PSB1 strain; and isolates AB1, AB2, B3, PS2, and PSB2 produced considerable amount of HCN gas. Among all the isolates, B3, PSB1, and PS2 performed better based on different plant growth-promoting abilities. These three bacterial isolates showed compatible reaction with most of the Rhizobium strains. Isolates B3, PS2, and PSB1 were identified as Bacillus subtilis (MT729775), Pseudomonas palmensis (MT729782), and Paraburkholderia caribenis (MZ956803), respectively. Lentil shoot weight, root length, nodule number, N uptake, and P uptake were increased in the pot culture experiment when inoculated with these strains. PGPR strain B3 performed best among the three strains in the pot culture experiment. Strain B3 can be used as potential biofertilizer along with compatible Rhizobium species for better production of lentil.

Abstract
Leaf manganese (Mn) concentration has been used as a proxy for root exudation and phosphorus (P) uptake under controlled conditions, but there are limited field studies that confirm its validity. On an alkaline, P-poor soil, four lentil cultivars ('Samos', 'Thessaly', 'Flip', 'Algeria') received two P rates (0 and 26.2kgPha-1 ), for two growing seasons, to study whether aboveground assessments [leaf P, Mn, phenolic concentration (TPhe)] can approximate rhizosphere physiological traits related to P acquisition [soil acidification (ΔpH), arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) colonisation, acid phosphatase activity (APase)]. Phosphorus addition had no effect on the determined traits. Cultivars differed in leaf P, Mn, TPhe and AMF, but there was no clear pattern relating aboveground traits to rhizosphere traits related to P acquisition, thus not confirming that leaf Mn can be a proxy of root exudation. Of three growth stages [V 7-8, R1 (first bloom), R4 (flat pod)], R1 seemed to be critical, showing the highest leaf P, ΔpH, AMF and TPhe. Precipitation and temperatures over the growing season were determinants of lentil responses affecting rhizosphere activity, soil P availability and finally leaf traits. In conclusion, in lentil on alkaline and P-limiting soils, high leaf Mn and phenolic concentration are not reliable indicators of rhizosphere P-acquiring mechanisms.

Abstract
Legumes maintain soil fertility thanks to their associated microbiota but are threatened by climate change that causes soil microbial community structural and functional modifications. The core microbiome associated with different chickpea and lentil genotypes was described after an unexpected climatic event. Results showed that chickpea and lentil bulk soil microbiomes varied significantly between two sampling time points, the first immediately after the rainfall and the second 2 weeks later. Rhizobia were associated with the soil of the more productive chickpea genotypes in terms of flower and fruit number. The root-associated bacteria and fungi were surveyed in lentil genotypes, considering that several parcels showed disease symptoms. The metabarcoding analysis revealed that reads related to fungal pathogens were significantly associated with one lentil genotype. A lentil core prokaryotic community common to all genotypes was identified as well as a genotype-specific one. A higher number of specific bacterial taxa and an enhanced tolerance to fungal diseases characterized a lentil landrace compared to the commercial varieties. This outcome supported the hypothesis that locally adapted landraces might have a high recruiting efficiency of beneficial soil microbes.

Abstract
To evaluate the effects of conservation agriculture (CA) on SOC pools and their lability, field experiments (2015-2020) were conducted on contrasting soils under subtropical climates. The experiment on non-calcareous soils, was comprised of tillage (minimum [MT] vs. conventional [CT]) in main plots, cropping systems (Wheat [Triticum aestivum]-Aus and Aman rice [Oryza sativa L.], WRR; Lentil [Lens culinaris]-Aus and Aman rice, LRR; and Mustard [Brassica nigra]- Boro and Aman rice, MRR) in the sub-plots, and crop residue (with or without 20% residue) in the sub-sub plots. The experiment on calcareous soils, was comprised of tillage (strip-till, ST; no-till, NT; and CT) and crop residue (high residue, HR at 50% by height vs. low residue, LR at 15%). Results showed that the MT had higher SOC contents by 18.8% than the CT in non-calcareous soils. Likewise, SOC was 12.5% and 6.7% higher in the NT and ST, respectively, than in the CT in calcareous soils. Significantly higher particulate organic (POC), permanganate oxidizable (POXC), and microbial biomass carbon (MBC) were observed in the MT, NT, and ST than in the CT at both locations. Reduced tillage with residue retention under LRR had a higher SOC, including labile C pools compared to WRR and MRR systems. Similarly, carbon management index (1.2-1.5 and 1.0-1.2) in both soils had significant positive correlations with SOC lability via POXC, POC, and MBC pools, indicating a SOC sequestration potential. In conclusion, our results showed positive effects of CA on SOC and its lability across soils.

Abstract
Legumes represent an important component of human and livestock diets; they are rich in macro- and micronutrients such as proteins, dietary fibers and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Whilst several health-promoting and anti-nutritional properties have been associated with grain content, in-depth metabolomics characterization of major legume species remains elusive. In this article, we used both gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) to assess the metabolic diversity in the five legume species commonly grown in Europe, including common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), chickpea (Cicer arietinum), lentil (Lens culinaris), white lupin (Lupinus albus) and pearl lupin (Lupinus mutabilis), at the tissue level. We were able to detect and quantify over 3400 metabolites covering major nutritional and anti-nutritional compounds. Specifically, the metabolomics atlas includes 224 derivatized metabolites, 2283 specialized metabolites and 923 lipids. The data generated here will serve the community as a basis for future integration to metabolomics-assisted crop breeding and facilitate metabolite-based genome-wide association studies to dissect the genetic and biochemical bases of metabolism in legume species.

Abstract
The growing number of older adults necessitates tailored food options that accommodate the specific diseases and nutritional deficiencies linked with ageing. This study aims to investigate the influence of age-related digestive conditions in vitro on the phenolic profile, antioxidant activity, and bioaccessibility of minerals (Ca, Fe, and Mg) in two types of unfermented, fermented, and fermented dried quinoa and lentils. Solid-state fermentation, combined with drying at 70 °C, significantly boosted the total phenolic content in Castellana and Pardina lentils from 5.05 and 6.6 to 10.5 and 7.5 mg gallic acid/g dry weight, respectively, in the bioaccessible fraction following the standard digestion model, compared to the unfermented samples. The phenolic profile post-digestion revealed elevated levels of vanillic and caffeic acids in Castellana lentils, and vanillic acid in Pardina lentils, while caffeic acids in Castellana lentils were not detected in the bioaccessible fraction. The highest antioxidant potency composite index was observed in digested fermented dried Castellana lentils, with white quinoa samples exhibiting potency above 80%. Mineral bioaccessibility was greater in fermented and fermented dried samples compared to unfermented ones. Finally, the digestive changes that occur with ageing did not significantly affect mineral bioaccessibility, but compromised the phenolic profile and antioxidant activity.

Abstract
The effects of ultrasound (280 W, 5 min), heat treatment (75 °C and 90 °C for 10 min) and microfluidization (125 MPa, 4 cycles) as pre or post treatments and their combination with enzymatic hydrolysis on the antioxidant properties of common bean and lentil protein hydrolysates were investigated. In general, hydrolysis resulted in increases of antioxidant activity, both in the presence and absence of processing technologies. The increases reached maximum values of 158% (ABTS), 105% (DPPH), 279% (FRAP) and 107% (TAC) for the bean protein hydrolysates submitted to post-treatment with ultrasound (ABTS, FRAP and TAC) and pre-treatment with microfluidization (DPPH), compared to their respective controls (untreated samples). For lentil proteins, the increases reached 197% (ABTS), 170% (DPPH), 690% (FRAP) and 213% (TAC) for samples submitted to ultrasound post-treatment (ABTS), microfluidization pre-treatment (DPPH) and post-treatment (FRAP), and 75 °C pre-treatment (TAC) compared to their respective controls. Surface hydrophobicity and molecular weight profile by SEC-HPLC analysis indicated modifications in the structures of proteins in function of the different processing technologies. For both proteins, electrophoresis indicated a similar profile for all hydrolysates, regardless of the process applied as pre or post treatment. Solubility of bean and lentil protein concentrates was also improved. These results indicated that different processing technologies can be successfully used in association with enzymatic hydrolysis to improve the antioxidant properties of lentil and bean proteins.

Abstract
Pulse proteins as a sustainable protein source have attracted increasing interest in food development, but pulse proteins are generally less surface active than dairy proteins. This work introduces lentil protein (LP)-based fibrillar gel particles (FGPs) fabricated from heat-induced LP fibrillar aggregates by 1, 4, 8, and 16 h of heating, followed by particle reduction using sonication. The heating time significantly impacts the FGPs particle size and surface hydrophobicity. The FGP prepared by 4 h of heating (FGP-4) showed a small size (<200 nm) and homogeneous size distribution while possessing significantly increased surface hydrophobicity compared to untreated LP. Such structural features made FGP-4 better adsorb at the O/W interface and then completely covered the oil droplet surface, leading to homogeneous emulsions of small size (22.33 μm) and superior long-term stability without creaming for 30 days. In addition, the dispersed FGP in the bulk phase could develop interactions among each other, leading to improved emulsion viscosity and texture without oil droplet size change. This finding suggests that constructing fibril-type gel particles can provide a new strategy for forming superior O/W emulsions with improved stability from plant proteins.

Abstract
Practical, affordable solutions need to be implemented to address global challenges confronting human and environmental health. Despite a myriad of benefits for people and the planet, beans and other pulses (e.g., chickpeas, cowpeas, dry peas, lentils) are under-consumed. To better understand consumer concerns and interests, a Food Habits Survey was conducted and the findings were incorporated into the Colorado State University Extension Bean Toolkit. Guided by the Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills model, the toolkit included informational social media posts, cooking guidance, and an online class. A convenience sample of participants was recruited through Extension and university networks. After class participation, significant gains in knowledge of pulse nutrition, versatility, and cooking were observed, with an average increase of 1.5 points on a 5-point Likert scale (p < 0.001). Moreover, participants (n = 86) perceived a greater importance of motivators (e.g., nutrition, versatility, environmental benefits) and found barriers (e.g., flatulence, long cooking times, unfamiliarity) to be less discouraging. Most participants reported an intention to eat more pulses, and among those who completed the 1-month follow-up survey, pulse intake frequency increased (p = 0.004). Emphasizing motivating factors while simultaneously mitigating barriers to consumption can help reverse insufficient intake and promote healthy behavior change. Leveraging Extension or similar networks is one way to adopt a translational approach to better reach the public with this information.

Abstract
Lens lamottei is a member of the Fabaceae family and the second gene pool of the genus Lens. The environmental factors that drove the divergence among wild and cultivated species have been studied extensively. Recent research has focused on genomic signatures associated with various phenotypes with the acceleration of next-generation techniques in molecular profiling. Therefore, in this study, we provide the complete sequence of the chloroplast genome sequence in the wild Lens species L. lamottei with a deep coverage of 713 × next-generation sequencing (NGS) data for the first time. Compared to the cultivated species, Lens culinaris, we identified synonymous, and nonsynonymous changes in the protein-coding regions of the genes ndhB, ndhF, ndhH, petA, rpoA, rpoC2, rps3, and ycf2 in L. lamottei. Phylogenetic analysis of chloroplast genomes of various plants under Leguminosae revealed that L. lamottei and L. culinaris are closest to one another than to other species. The complete chloroplast genome of L. lamottei also allowed us to reanalyze previously published transcriptomic data, which showed high levels of gene expression for ATP-synthase, rubisco, and photosystem genes. Overall, this study provides a deeper insight into the diversity of Lens species and the agricultural importance of these plants through their chloroplast genomes.

Abstract
Technique of malting legume seeds is not currently widespread among scientists as well as industrial maltsters. However, this method of seed modification is successfully used by humankind for millennia to improve technological parameters, as well as change taste and aroma of various food products. Three lentil cultivars (black, brown and green) were malted (steeped, germinated for three various time periods and then kilned) to produce nine lentil malts. Malting had significant influence on the volatile composition of lentil seeds. Total concentration of volatiles in the green lentils increased and decreased in the case of black and brown lentils after malting procedure. However, most importantly, in every lentil cultivar the contribution of various groups of compounds (such as aldehydes, alcohols, terpenes or ketones) to the overall volatilome was changed due to the malting procedure.

Abstract
Pea aphid (Acyrthosiphom pisum Harris, Hemiptera: Aphididae) presents a significant economic challenge to lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) production in the major growing region of Saskatchewan, Canada. During 2019-2020, field experiments were conducted to optimize the management tools for pea aphid control on lentils. A randomized split-plot design was used with main plots consisting of different pea aphid pressures and subplots consisting of different insecticide treatments. The main plot design was aimed to assess the impact of A. pisum feeding on lentil yields during the late vegetative to early reproductive stages. Subplots of the study evaluated the efficacy of 3 insecticides in suppressing pea aphid populations on lentils. Lentil is susceptible to A. pisum feeding and requires management at low pest densities. The economic threshold for pea aphids on lentil crops varied depending on environmental conditions, ranging from 20 to 66 aphids per sweep, calculated using a discrete daily growth rate of 1.116. The estimated economic thresholds provided a 7-day lead time before aphid populations achieved the economic injury level (EIL). The EIL was defined as 78 ± 14 aphids per sweep net sample or 743 ± 137 cumulative aphid days from the first aphid present in the field. In addition, the results of the study found that, on average, foliar applications of insecticides containing the pyrethroid active ingredient lambda-cyhalothrin (IRAC group: 3A) reduced pea aphid populations by 83% compared with untreated control.

Abstract
Emerging evidence suggests that plant-based fiber-rich diets improve ageing-associated health by fostering a healthier gut microbiome and microbial metabolites. However, such effects and mechanisms of resistant starches from dietary pulses remain underexplored. Herein, we examine the prebiotic effects of dietary pulses-derived resistant starch (RS) on gut metabolome in older (60-week old) mice carrying a human microbiome. Gut metabolome and its association with microbiome are examined after 20-weeks feeding of a western-style diet (control; CTL) fortified (5% w/w) with RS from pinto beans (PTB), black-eyed-peas (BEP), lentils (LEN), chickpeas (CKP), or inulin (INU; reference control). NMR spectroscopy-based untargeted metabolomic analysis yield differential abundance linking phenotypic differences in specific metabolites among different RS groups. LEN and CKP increase butyrate, while INU promotes propionate. Conversely, bile acids and cholesterol are reduced in prebiotic groups along with suppressed choline-to-trimethylamine conversion by LEN and CKP, whereas amino acid metabolism is positively altered. Multi-omics microbiome-metabolome interactions reveal an association of beneficial metabolites with the Lactobacilli group, Bacteroides, Dubosiella, Parasutterella, and Parabacteroides, while harmful metabolites correlate with Butyricimonas, Faecalibaculum, Colidextribacter, Enterococcus, Akkermansia, Odoribacter, and Bilophila. These findings demonstrate the functional effects of pulses-derived RS on gut microbial metabolism and their beneficial physiologic responses in an aged host.

Abstract
Lentils and mungbean proteins are under-researched compared to pea and soybean. Lentils (green, red and black-lentils), mungbean and yellow pea protein isolates were obtained by alkaline extraction (pH 9)-isoelectric precipitation (pH 4.5) and investigated for molecular and higher-order structures using complementary and novel approaches. These extracted isolates showed comparable protein content but significantly greater nitrogen solubility index (NSI > 85 %) than commercial pea and soy protein isolates (NSI < 60 %). Based on molecular weight estimations from sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis, the soluble proteins of lentils and yellow pea were identified as legumin-like and vicilin-like, while mungbean was dominated by vicilin-like proteins. The soluble extracts were confirmed to be in native structural condition by size exclusion chromatography and nano-differential scanning calorimetry, unlike commercial extracts. Further differences in secondary structure were evident on circular dichroism spectra of the soluble extracts and deconvolution of the Amide I region (1700-1600 cm-1) from Fourier Transform Infrared of the total protein.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to compare the composition of pulse proteins isolated from lentils and green and yellow peas at two isolation pH values (9 and 11) and determine the effect of this variability on protein functionality. Chromatogram peaks obtained from reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography were identified by isolation of albumin-, vicilin- and legumin-rich fractions for the three pulses. Protein composition was obtained for each isolate and compared against that of the originating pulse flour. Lentil flour showed the highest level of vicilin with a vicilin/legumin ratio of ∼ 2.5, while this ratio was 1.3 and 1.2 for green and yellow pea flour, respectively. Albumin content of yellow pea flour was high (∼36.1 %), which reduced to ∼ 15-19 % in isolated proteins showing a loss in albumins during the isolation. Higher extraction pH increased pea protein yield but led to lower protein solubility with no changes in foaming properties and in-vitro digestibility.

Abstract
Paracetamol is one of the most widely used drugs worldwide, yet its environmental presence and hazardous impact on non-target organisms could rapidly increase. In this study, the possible cytotoxic effects of paracetamol were evaluated using two bioindicator plants Lens culinaris and Pisum sativum. Concentrations of 500, 400, 300, 200, 100, 50, 25, 5, 1 mg L-1, and a control (distilled water) were used for a total of 10 treatments, which were subsequently applied on seeds of Lens culinaris Med. and Pisum sativum L.; after 72 h of exposure, root growth, mitotic index, percentage of chromosomal abnormalities, and the presence of micronucleus were evaluated. The cytotoxic effect of paracetamol on L. culinaris and P. sativum was demonstrated, reporting the inhibition of root growth, the presence of abnormalities, and a significant micronucleus index at all concentrations used, which shows that this drug has a high degree of toxicity.

Abstract
Polyphenol-rich lentil hulls are a valuable by-product. In this study, lentil hulls were subjected to simulated in vitro digestion and caco-2 cell monolayer models to assess the bioaccessibility, transmembrane transport, and a rat model to examine the bioavailability and metabolism in vivo. Polyphenols were increasingly released during the in vitro digestion, and were found to contribute to the increased antioxidant activity. Among the bioaccessible polyphenols, catechin glucoside, kaempferol tetraglucoside, procyanidin dimer and dihydroxybenzoic acid-O-dipentoside were most efficiently transported across the caco-2 membrane, and responsible for promoting intestinal integrity as a result of enhanced expression of tight junction proteins. When ingested by rats, lentil hull polyphenols underwent extensive I and II phase metabolic reactions in vivo, including hydroxylation, methylation, glucuronidation and sulfation. Overall, results of this study showed that lentil hull polyphenols are bioaccessible and bioavailable, and lentil hulls as a by-product can be a valuable ingredient for future functional foods.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lentil (Lens culinaris M.) is a legume widely consumed worldwide. It is rich in bioactive compounds, including polyphenolic compounds that contribute to positive health benefits. METHODS This study aimed to determine the phenolic content and antioxidant activity of black, red, green, and brown whole lentils. Towards this end, the lentils' phenolic compounds were evaluated regarding their total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), total tannin content (TTC), total condensed tannin (TCT), total proanthocyanin content (TPAC), total anthocyanin content (TAC). For the antioxidant activity 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), 2,2'-azinobis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS), hydroxyl radical scavenging activity (•OH-RSA), ferrous ion chelating activity (FICA), reducing power assay (RPA) and phosphomolybdate (PMA) assay were accessed. To identify individual phenolic compounds, liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-QTOF-MS2) was used. RESULTS The results showed that green lentils exhibited the highest TPC (0.96 mg gallic acid equivalents (GAE)/g) whereas red lentils presented the highest TFC (0.06 mg quercetin equivalents (QE)/g). Black lentils were noted with the highest TCT (0.03 mg catechin equivalents (CE)/g), TPAC (0.009 mg cyanidin chloride equivalents (CCE)/g), and TAC (3.32 mg/100 g) contents. While the greatest TTC (2.05 mg tannic acid equivalents (TAE)/g) was observed in the brown lentil. Regarding the total antioxidant capacity, red lentils (4.01 mg ascorbic acid equivalents (AAE)/g) presented the greatest activity, whereas the lowest was found in the brown samples (2.31 mg AAE/g). The LC-ESI-QTOF-MS2 tentatively identified a total of 22 phenolic compounds, containing 6 phenolic acids, 13 flavonoids, 2 lignans, and 1 other polyphenol. The relationships among phenolic compounds by Venn Diagram showed a high number of overlapping compounds in brown and red lentils (6.7%), and a low number of overlapping compounds between the green, brown, and black lentils (2.6%). Flavonoids were the most abundant phenolic compound within the studied whole lentils, with the brown lentils being the richest in phenolic compounds, especially flavonoids. CONCLUSIONS This study emphasized a comprehensive understanding of the antioxidant potential of lentils and disclosed the phenolic distribution across various lentil samples. This may increase interest in the development of functional food products, nutraceutical ingredients, and pharmaceutical applications with lentils.

Abstract
Stemphylium botryosum alters lentil secondary metabolism and differentially affects resistant and susceptible genotypes. Untargeted metabolomics identifies metabolites and their potential biosynthetic pathways that play a crucial role in resistance to S. botryosum. The molecular and metabolic processes that mediate resistance to stemphylium blight caused by Stemphylium botryosum Wallr. in lentil are largely unknown. Identifying metabolites and pathways associated with Stemphylium infection may provide valuable insights and novel targets to breed for enhanced resistance. The metabolic changes following infection of four lentil genotypes by S. botryosum were investigated by comprehensive untargeted metabolic profiling employing reversed-phase or hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) coupled to a Q-Exactive mass spectrometer. At the pre-flowering stage, plants were inoculated with S. botryosum isolate SB19 spore suspension and leaf samples were collected at 24, 96 and 144 h post-inoculation (hpi). Mock-inoculated plants were used as negative controls. After analyte separation, high-resolution mass spectrometry data was acquired in positive and negative ionization modes. Multivariate modeling revealed significant treatment, genotype and hpi effects on metabolic profile changes that reflect lentil response to Stemphylium infection. In addition, univariate analyses highlighted numerous differentially accumulated metabolites. By contrasting the metabolic profiles of SB19-inoculated and mock-inoculated plants and among lentil genotypes, 840 pathogenesis-related metabolites were detected including seven S. botryosum phytotoxins. These metabolites included amino acids, sugars, fatty acids and flavonoids in primary and secondary metabolism. Metabolic pathway analysis revealed 11 significant pathways including flavonoid and phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, which were affected upon S. botryosum infection. This research contributes to ongoing efforts toward a comprehensive understanding of the regulation and reprogramming of lentil metabolism under biotic stress, which will provide targets for potential applications in breeding for enhanced disease resistance.

Abstract
Various faulty farming practices and low-performance cultivars selection are reducing crop yields, factor productivity, and soil fertility. Therefore, there is an urgent need to achieve better nutrient dynamics and sustainable production by selecting more nutrient-responsive cultivars using efficient nutrient management. The present experiment aimed to enhance crop productivity, seed quality, nutrient efficiency, and soil nutrient dynamics through efficient nutrient management under different lentil cultivars. The experiment was laid out in a split-plot design, assigning three cultivars (viz. Sapna, Garima, and HM-1) in the main plots and ten nutrient management practices in the sub-plots, replicating them thrice. Results revealed that cultivar HM-1 recorded significantly higher seed yield (1.59-1.61 Mg ha-1) and the uptake of N (67.2-67.6 kg ha-1), P (6.8-7.0 kg ha-1), K (13.8-13.9 kg ha-1), Zn (60.4-61.1 g ha-1), and Fe (162.5-165.2 g ha-1) in seed compared to Sapna and Garima. Also, the cultivar HM-1 was more efficient in terms of partial factor productivity for NPK (PFP; 24.27-24.59 kg kg-1), partial nutrient balance (PNB; 2.09-2.13 kg kg-1) and internal utilisation efficiency (IUE; 11.64-11.85 kg kg-1). The study showed that the lentil cultivar HM-1 could be successfully grown by substituting 50% RDN with organic manures, i.e., vermicompost, without compromising crop productivity and soil fertility, thereby sustaining soil-human-environment health.

Abstract
Exploring the spatial distribution alterations of metabolites during lentil germination is essential to reveal the nutritional value, physiological function, and metabolic pathway in lentils. Hence, an effective matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) method was established for the first time to visualize the spatial localization changes of 53 metabolites in lentils during germination for 12-72 h. The results of MALDI-MSI analysis showed that phosphatidylinositols, phosphatidylethanolamines, phosphatidylglycerols, and phosphatidic acids were mainly located in the cotyledons of lentils throughout the germination process, while triacylglycerols, phosphatidylcholines, diacylglycerols, amino acids, choline, and spermine spread throughout the lentil tissue at the initial stage of germination and gradually presented obvious distribution characteristics in the radicle with increasing germination time. Heat map analysis was used to visualize the correlations between lipid content changes and germination time, which supported the use of germinated lentils as nutraceutical or functional food.

Abstract
Botrytis spp. cause gray mold and are significant pathogens of pulse crops (dry pea, lentil, and chickpea). Seedling infection can result in plant stunting and death. In this study, 100 Botrytis isolates were recovered from pulse crop seed samples that were submitted to the Regional Pulse Crop Diagnostic Laboratory at Montana State University. Nine Botrytis spp. were found to be associated with pulse seeds in Montana based on a combination of cultural characteristics; the amplification of partial sequences of the G3PDH, HSP60, and RPB2 genes; and phylogenetic analysis. Botrytis cinerea (n = 54) was the predominant species, followed by B. euroamericana (n = 22) and B. prunorum (n = 11). There were a few isolates of B. mali and five novel Botrytis spp. that included one cryptic species. To determine the pathogenicity and aggressiveness of the isolates, dry pea cultivar Lifter, lentil cultivar Richlea, and chickpea cultivar Sierra, detached leaves were inoculated using mycelial plugs. Lesion diameter produced by Botrytis isolates on three hosts differed (P < 0.05). Aggressiveness of B. cinerea was high in all three hosts and varied among the tested isolates. Spore inoculations were conducted on greenhouse-grown dry pea, lentil and chickpea plants using one sporulating isolate each of B. cinerea, B. prunorum, and Botrytis sp. 1. Results indicated that these isolates were pathogenic on the tested hosts. This study illustrates that many species of Botrytis are associated with pulse crop seed in Montana and can be aggressive on multiple crops, which may have implications for disease management.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to characterise Lenticchia di Castelluccio di Norcia (an Italian PGI lentil landrace) and assess the impact of cooking and storage on antioxidant activity. After opening the package (T0), samples were analysed using a set of chemical assays (i.e., total phenolic content, DPPH, ABTS, and ORAC assays). Analyses were also conducted on boiled, pressure-cooked, and 6-month-stored (T1) products. At both T0 and T1, raw Lenticchia di Castelluccio di Norcia PGI showed higher total phenolic content (T0: 9.08 mg GAE/g, T1: 7.76 mg GAE/g) and antioxidant activity (DPPH T0: 33.02 µmol TE/g, T1: 29.23 µmol TE/g; ABTS T0: 32.12 µmol CE/g, T1: 31.77 µmol CE/g; ORAC T0: 3.58 μmol TE/g, T1: 3.60 μmol TE/g) than boiled and pressure-cooked samples. Overall, pressure-cooking led to a smaller decline in total phenolic content and antioxidant activity than the common boiling procedure. Domestic storage led to a significant reduction in total phenolic content-both in raw and cooked products-but not in antioxidant activity. In summary, these results highlighted interesting amounts of phenols and antioxidant properties of this product, showing the impact of routine procedures. Given the relevance of pulses as sustainable plant-based meat alternatives and their importance in the prevention of non-communicable diseases, health professionals should consider these aspects in the context of correct nutrition education and scientific communication.

Abstract
This study simulated the gastrointestinal digestion (GID) of black chickpeas (BC) and brown lentils (BL). BC phenolics increased from 105.01 to 141.86 mg GAE/100 g DW) while the BL phenolics decreased from 143.26 to 132.70 mg GAE/100 g DW after cooking. In contrast, the remaining flavonoids after cooking were higher in BL (325.55 mg RE/100 g DW). After in vitro GID, moderate levels of flavonoids were detected in the colon (OUT) fractions (144.36 and 104.22 mg RE/100 g DW for cooked BC and BL, respectively). The highest TAA levels were detected as by CUPRAC assay, in cooked and in vitro GID BC (517.03 mg TEAC/100 g DW) and BL (604.98 mg TEAC/100 g DW) samples. Catechin was the most abundant compound detected in BC samples, while gallic acid was the most abundant in BL. BC and BL have unique and superior benefits for health when compared with conventional legumes. The possible interactions between their remaining phenolics and other bioactive components in the colon are promising for their widespread consumption.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Novel protein sources can represent a risk for allergic consumers. The aim of this study was to evaluate the allergenicity of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata), an increasingly consumed legume and potential new industrial food ingredient which may put legume-allergic patients at risk. METHODS Children with allergy to legumes associated to peanut (LP group: n = 13) or without peanut allergy (L group: n = 14) were recruited and sensitization to several legumes including cowpea was assessed by prick tests and detection of specific IgE (sIgE). Cowpea protein extract was analyzed by SDS-PAGE and immunoblotting, IgE-reactive spots were subjected to mass spectrometry. IgE-cross-reactivity between cowpea, pea, and peanut was determined using ELISA inhibition assays. Basophil activation tests were performed to evaluate sensitivity and reactivity of patient basophils toward legumes. RESULTS Prick tests and sIgE levels to cowpea were positive in 8/14 and 4/13 patients of the L group and in 9/13 and 10/13 patients of the LP group, respectively. Four major IgE-binding proteins were identified as vicilins and seed albumin. Cowpea extract and its vicilin fraction strongly inhibited IgE-binding to pea and peanut extract. Peanut, lentil, and pea were the strongest activators of basophils, followed by cowpea, soybean, mung bean, and lupin. CONCLUSION A majority of patients with legume allergy were sensitized to cowpea proteins. Four novel allergens were identified in cowpea, among which storage proteins were playing an important role in IgE-cross-reactivity, exposing legume-allergic patients to the risk of clinical cross-reactivity to cowpea and thus adding cowpea to the group of nonpriority legumes that are not subjected to allergen labeling such as chickpea, pea, and lentil.

Abstract
The recovery of industrial by-products is part of the zero-waste circular economy. Lentil seed coats are generally considered to be a waste by-product. However, this low-value by-product is rich in bioactive compounds and may be considered an eco-friendly source of health-promoting phytochemicals. For the first time, a sustainable microwave-assisted extraction technique was applied, and a solvent screening was carried out to enhance the bioactive compound content and the antioxidant activity of green and red lentil hull extracts. With respect to green lentil hull extracts that were obtained with different solvents, the aqueous extract of the red lentil seed coats showed the highest total phenolic and total flavonoid content (TPC = 28.3 ± 0.1 mg GAE/g dry weight, TFC = 1.89 ± 0.01 mg CE/100 mg dry weight, respectively), as well as the highest antioxidant activity, both in terms of the free radical scavenging activity (ABTS, 39.06 ± 0.73 mg TE/g dry weight; DPPH, IC50 = 0.39 μg/mL) and the protection of the neuroblastoma cell line (SH-SY5Y, IC50 = 10.1 ± 0.6 μg/mL), the latter of which has never been investigated so far. Furthermore, a metabolite discovery analysis was for the first time performed on the aqueous extracts of both cultivars using an HPLC separation which was coupled with an Orbitrap-based high-Resolution Mass Spectrometry technique.

Abstract
One of the challenges in substituting dairy products by alternative proteins is that the properties of mixed protein gels cannot necessarily be predicted by those of single protein gels, whereas the need of mixing is often driven by nutritional aspects. However, mixing plant proteins could also open a door to new textures. The main goal of this study was to investigate the impact of binary mixing of hemp (H), yellow pea (P), and brown lentil (L) protein concentrates/isolates on their gel and water-holding properties. Dispersions of reconstituted proteins and mixtures thereof were gelled using glucono-δ-lactone (GDL), transglutaminase (TG), and temperature (T) at a protein content of 12% (w/w). Mixtures of pea and lentil proteins showed gel strengths for TG- and T-induced gels that are proportional to the ratio of the mixture constituents (linear mixing behavior), whereas synergistic effects were observed for GDL-induced gelation. In contrast, all mixtures containing hemp exhibited a non-linear mixing behavior for the three gelation methods, usually resulting in lower gel strengths compared to theoretically expected values. The study showed that mixing plant-based proteins of different protein sources can lead to very different mixing behaviors in terms of gel properties, showing either a reinforcing, an indifferent or a weakening effect compared to the theoretically expected properties. The results can help developing more targeted plant protein-based soft gel products such as yogurt alternatives with specific techno-functional properties, while adjusting the nutritional characteristics.

Abstract
In this study the multiple metal(loid) (As, Cd, Cu and Ni) resistant bacterium Serratia sp. KUJM3 was able to grow in both single and multiple metal(loid) contaminated wastewater and removed them by 34.93-48.80% and 22.93-32%, respectively. It reduced As(v) to As(III) by 68.44-85.06% in a concentration dependent manner. The strain's IAA production potential increased significantly under both metal(loid)s regime. The lentil (Lens culinaris) seed germination and seed production were enhanced with the exogenous bacterial inoculation by 20.39 and 16.43%, respectively. Under both multi-metal(loid) regimes the bacterial inoculation promoted shoot length (22.65-51.34%), shoot dry weight (33.89-66.11%) and seed production (13.46-35%). Under bacterial manipulation the metal(loid)s immobilization increased with concomitant curtailment of translocation in lentil plant by 61.89-75.14% and 59.19-71.14% in shoot and seed, respectively. The strain biomineralized struvite (MgNH4 PO4 ·6H2O) from human urine @ 403 ± 6.24 mg L-1. The fertilizer potential of struvite was confirmed with the promotion of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) growth traits e.g. leaf number (37.04%), pod number (234%), plant wet weight (65.47%) and seed number (134.52%). Thus Serratia sp. KUJM3 offers multiple benefits of metal(loid)s bioremediation, As(V) reduction, plant growth promotion, and struvite biomineralization garnering a suite of appealing environmental applications.

Abstract
Low glycemic index (GI) diets have been associated with decreased chronic disease risk. In a randomized, cross-over study we investigated the GI and glycemic response to three traditional Greek mixed meals: Lentils, Trahana, and Halva. Twelve healthy, fasting individuals received isoglucidic test meals (25 g available carbohydrate) and 25 g glucose reference, in random order. GI was calculated and capillary blood glucose (BG) samples were collected at 0-120 min after meal consumption. Subjective appetite ratings were assessed. All three tested meals provided low GI values. Lentils GI was 27 ± 5, Trahana GI was 42 ± 6, and Halva GI was 52 ± 7 on glucose scale. Peak BG values were lowest for Lentils, followed by Trahana and then by Halva (p for all <0.05). Compared to the reference food, BG concentrations were significantly lower for all meals at all time-points (p for all <0.05). Lentils provided lower glucose concentrations at 30 and 45 min compared to Trahana (p for all <0.05) and at 30, 45, and 60 min compared to Halva (p for all <0.05). BG concentrations did not differ between Trahana and Halva at all time points. No differences were observed for fasting BG, time to peak rise for BG, and subjective appetite ratings. In conclusion, all three mixed meals attenuated postprandial glycemic response in comparison to glucose, which may offer advantages to glycemic control.

Abstract
Widespread use of plastics and mishandling has resulted in severe environmental issues affecting seed germination and seedling growth. This study investigates the effect of polyethylene microplastics (740-4990 nm PEMPs) on lentil (Lens culinaris) seed germination and seedling growth using Biospeckle Optical Coherence Tomography (bOCT), a technique that we successfully demonstrated earlier in visualizing the internal activity of plants. Lentil seeds were exposed to PEMPs bioassay for seven days with 10, 50, and 100 mg L-1 concentrations. The average speckle contrast was calculated after 0 h, 6 h, 12 h, and 24 h of exposure, and statistically significant differences were observed just after 6 h of exposure under all the treatments. However, with conventional parameters, germination viability, germination rate, root and shoot lengths, fresh and dry seedling weights, and antioxidative enzymes, no significant effect was observed until 2 d of exposure. The results revealed that the presence of PEMPs significantly reduced the internal activity at the initial stages that could be visualized only by the use of bOCT, which has never been observed till now. Our results demonstrated for the first time the effect that microplastics indeed could hinder the internal activity during germination of the seeds, possibly resulting from the physical blockage of pores leading to stunted growth at later stages.

Abstract
There is growing interest in legumes such as lentil as healthy ingredients in gluten-free products. In that respect, foods based on lentils, like alimentary pasta, have been produced and successfully commercialized in recent years. Lentils are also known for inducing severe allergic reactions; however, it is currently unknown if novel alimentary pasta based on lentil retains the same allergenic potential as lentil seeds. In this study, the allergenic content of alimentary lentil pasta compared with lentil seeds was analyzed by immunoassays using sera from patients with allergic sensitization to lentil or with specific antibodies that recognize major lentil allergens. The effect of boiling processing was also analyzed. Results showed that alimentary lentil pasta has a significant allergenic content close to the general allergenic content observed for lentil seeds. Both alimentary lentil pasta and lentil seeds were similarly affected by boiling, with an important transfer of allergens from the food to the boiling water. This study shows that alimentary pasta made of lentils has a significant allergenic potential and highlights the necessity to analyze the allergenic content of new foods and novel ingredients introduced in traditional food products.

Abstract
To examine the potential role of acetate in conferring cadmium (Cd) stress tolerance in lentil (Lens culinaris), several phenotypical and physio-biochemical properties have been examined in Cd-stressed lentil seedlings following acetate applications. Acetate treatment inhibited the translocation of Cd from roots to shoots, which resulted in a minimal reduction in photosynthetic pigment contents. Additionally, acetate-treated lentil showed higher shoot (1.1 and 11.72%) and root (4.98 and 30.64%) dry weights compared with acetate-non-treated plants under low-Cd and high-Cd concentrations, respectively. Concurrently, acetate treatments increase osmoprotection under low-Cd stress through proline accumulation (24.69%), as well as enhancement of antioxidant defense by increasing ascorbic acid content (239.13%) and catalase activity (148.51%) under high-Cd stress. Acetate-induced antioxidant defense resulted in a significant diminution in hydrogen peroxide, malondialdehyde and electrolyte leakage in Cd-stressed lentil seedlings. Our results indicated that acetate application mitigated oxidative stress-induced damage by modulating antioxidant defense and osmoprotection, and reducing root-to-shoot Cd transport. These findings indicate an important contribution of acetate in mitigating the Cd toxicity during growth and development of lentil seedlings, and suggest that the exogenous applications of acetate could be an economical and new avenue for controlling heavy metal-caused damage in lentil, and potentially in many other crops.
