“…The values obtained for protein concentration in dehydrated pods were comparable to those reported by other authors for Phaseolus coccineus L. seeds: 24.94±0.05% and 27.56±0.07% respectively [8]. From a nutritional point of view the intake of 100g of Phaseolus coccineus L. pods provides 4.60% Ca, 4.68% Mg and 3.97% Fe, out of the recommended daily intake for those minerals [27,28].…”

Runner beans are an important source of carbohydrates, fibers, vitamins and minerals that play an important part in the cardiovascular and gastrointestinal tract physiology. The aim of the study was the identification of crop specificities of four varieties of Phaseolus coccineus L. homologated in the Great Britain: Lady Di, Desiree, Polestar and White Apollo, which are less cultivated in Romania, although during the study they proved a remarkable crop production. Another objective of the study was the determination of some chemical composition parameters of the pods harvested from protected areas, in order to highlight the particularities that could determine the expansion of their cultivation in our country.

“…In this investigation, 0.2 mg total sugar/ml F. oxysporum kept the fresh weight of A. annua samples steady and unchanged during 48 h while 0.4 mg total sugar/mL of this elicitor decreased the samples fresh weight exclusively ( figure 5). There is relative similarity between our findings and some reported results by Kishor [KISHOR, 1999;BUTNARIU and BUTU, 2015;BUTNARIU and SAMFIRA 2014;SAMFIRA et al, 2015] .…”

“…DFs are defined as non-starch polysaccharides (e.g. cellulose) that constitute most of the dry matter of plant foods, such as vegetables, fruits and whole grains [10][11][12] . Speculations on the evolution of the human diet suggest that the human gastrointestinal (GI) system is adapted to high fiber consumption 8 , and the shift from diets rich in vegetables and fruits to diets rich in animal proteins and refined grains is at least partly responsible for the obesity epidemic 8,9 .The increased consumption of vegetables and fruits is widely acknowledged as a useful dietary intervention for excess weight 13,14 .…”

While being a rich source of vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients 11,12 , vegetables and fruits also facilitate the adherence to a reduced calorie dietary regimen mostly due to their high DFs and water content 13,14 . They occupy volume in the stomach and contribute to reducing the caloric density or energy density of a meal (i.e.…”

Biomimetic cellulose-based superabsorbent hydrogels for treating obesity

In the treatment of obesity, nutritional and behavioral modifications are difficult to implement and maintain. Since vegetable consumption is a fundamental part of many dietary interventions and daily nutrient requirements, we developed a novel cellulose-based superabsorbent hydrogel (CB-SAH) platform, inspired by the composition and mechanical properties of raw vegetables, as a mechanobiological therapy. The CB-SAHs properties were studied in a simulated gastrointestinal environment, while their impact on gut tissue was investigated by an ex vivo organ culture (EVOC) model. Functional fibers and raw vegetables were used as reference. CB-SAHs demonstrated orders of magnitude higher elasticity in comparison to the tested functional fibers, however performed similar to the tested raw vegetables. Notably, the biomimetic CB-SAHs with elasticity levels similar to raw vegetables showed benefits in preserving and regulating the gut tissue in the EVOC model. Non-systemic oral mechanotherapeutics based on this technology were advanced through clinical studies, with a first product cleared as an aid for weight management in the US and Europe.
