“…When seeds were grouped, the average macronutrient content followed the sequences: weeds (12.2%) > pulses (3.1%) ≈ cereals (2.7%) > beans (1.1%) for fat content, pulses (25.5%) ≈ beans (23.5%) ≈ weeds (21.9%) > cereals (18.0%) for protein content and beans (72.0%) ≈ cereals (70.7%) ≈ pulses (68.6%) > weeds (62.4%) for starch content. In general, comparable macronutrients levels were reported in the literature (McKevith, 2004; United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), 2009; Martino et al ., 2012; Tacer‐Caba et al ., 2015; Venkidasamy et al ., 2019).…”

Plant seeds are major sources of nutrients and bioactive compounds for human beings and vary across different locations. In addition, they are under used foods that could be a good complement for the daily nutrition of people. Therefore, the aim of this study was the analysis of different physical parameters, nutrients and bioactive compounds of 60 plant seeds belonging to 48 species and 9 families. The seeds were collected in 2016-2017 in the Raipur area, India (21.25°N 81.63°E), from three different locations. Fat, protein, starch, total polyphenols and mineral contents ranged from 0.7 to 44.2, 1.6 to 68.5, 11.3 to 84.0, 0.01 to 3.85 and 0.67 to 4.91 g/100 g (dry weight) respectively. Regarding physical properties, the heavier seeds were covered with thick testa over the range of 3.0 to 40% of the seed mass. Higher moisture and ash fractions for the starchy (cereal and pulses) and weed seeds were also found. The most abundant mineral elements in the seeds were P, S, K, Mg, Ca, Fe and Zn. Finally, it was calculated the contribution of the consumption of seeds to the daily macronutrients and micronutrients intake for Indian population, reaching up to 38, 13 and 25% for proteins, fat and carbohydrates respectively.

Beans provide a rich source of plant-based proteins and carbohydrates. It is well documented in the literature that the raffinose family of oligosaccharides (RFOs: raffinose, stachyose, and verbascose) is linked with flatulence issues. In this study, the soluble sugar content of 23 dry beans was investigated using a newly developed and validated analytical method with highperformance anion-exchange chromatography coupled to an amperometric pulse detection. All seven sugars (galactose, glucose, fructose, sucrose, raffinose, stachyose, and verbascose) showed good linearity (r 2 ≥ 0.99) between 0.156 and 20 μg/mL. The limit of detection and quantification were determined as 0.01−0.11 μg/mL and 0.04−0.32 μg/mL, respectively. Significant variations in the profiles and concentrations of individual and total sugars were observed in 23 dry beans. Sucrose and stachyose were the two prominent soluble sugars combinedly representing an average of 86% of the total soluble sugars. Yellow split beans, large lima, and black eyed peas contained higher amounts of total soluble sugars (79.8−83.6 mg/g), whereas lower amounts were observed in speckled butter peas and lentils (53.6−56.6 mg/g). Garbanzo beans contained maximum levels of mono and disaccharides (MD), and yellow split beans showed the highest levels of RFOs. Based on the hierarchical cluster analysis of the total soluble sugars (TS), MD, RFOs, and MD/RFOs ratio, 23 beans can be classified into five groups. The average TS content and the MD/RFOs ratios of the five groups were determined as group 1 (TS = 55.1 mg/g and MD/RFOs = 0.30), group 2 (TS = 77.6 mg/g and MD/RFOs = 0.31), group 3 (TS = 78.3 mg/g and MD/RFOs = 0.51), group 4 (TS = 59.1 mg/g and MD/RFOs = 1.06), and group 5 (TS = 68.5 mg/g and MD/RFOs = 0.62). This information is useful for researchers, food industries, and consumers that are looking for plantbased protein source as an alternative to animal proteins with reduced flatulence problems.

“…Beans ( Phaseolus vulgaris L.) are commonly consumed food in Asia, Europe, and the Americas. This legume serves as important nutritive source to humans due to the high protein (15% to 30%), carbohydrates (60% to 70%), and lipid (1% to 2%) content (Martino and others ). Beans and their products are considered to meet 10% to 20% of the recommended daily intake of dietary nutrients for adults (Martino and others ).…”

Beans and their products are considered to meet 10% to 20% of the recommended daily intake of dietary nutrients for adults (Martino and others ). Recently, the per capita consumption of dry beans among the American population has increased due to immigration of people from Latin America, Eastern, and South Africa, and many Asian countries (Lucier and others ; Aggarwal and others ; Luthria and Pastor‐Corrales ).…”

In this study, we compared the amino acid, organic acid and sugar profiles of 3 different varieties of dry beans (black bean [BB], dark red bean [DRB], and cranberry bean [CB]). The efficiency of the 2 commonly used extraction solvents (water and methanol:chloroform:water [2.5:1:1, v/v/v/]) for cultivar differentiation based on their metabolic profile was also investigated. The results showed that the BB contained the highest concentration of amino acids followed by DRB and CB samples. Phenylalanine, a precursor for the biosynthesis of phenolic secondary metabolites was detected at low concentration in CB samples and correlated with the reduced anthocyanins content in CB extract as documented in the published literature. Comparing the extractability of 2 extraction solvents, methanol:chloroform:water (2.5:1:1, v/v/v/) showed higher recoveries of amino acids from 3 beans, whereas, sugars were extracted in higher concentration with water. Analytically, gas chromatography detected sugars (9), amino acids (11), and organic acids (3) in a single run after derivatization of the extracts. In comparison, ion chromatography detected only sugars in a single run without any derivatization step with the tested procedure. Bean samples are better differentiated by the sugar content extracted with water as compared to the aqueous organic solvent extracts using partial least-square discriminant analysis.
