“…In fact, C. gladiata has been recommended to be considered as a potential oilseed (Gupta and others 1983) due its rich content of PUFAs. Even the energy value of Canavalia seeds is quite high and ranges between 1470 and 1910 kJ/100 g, which has been attributed to the high starch and amylose contents (287 to 350 g/ kg) (Molina and Bressani 1975; Udedibie and others 1994; Agbede and Aletor 2005). However, the energy value might be attributed mainly to starch content rather than the amylose, which in major cases are not completely related to energy value.…”

Providing safe, nutritious, and wholesome food for poor and undernourished populations has been a major challenge for the developing world. Acute shortage, unreliable supply, and elevated costs of protein-rich foods of animal origin in the developing and underdeveloped countries have resulted in the search for inexpensive and reliable alternative sources of protein of plant origin. Some of the wild and underutilized legumes (such as Canavalia, Mucuna, and Sesbania, for example) have been investigated and found to possess rich nutraceutical value. However, the greatest impediment to utilizing these legumes is the presence of antinutrients, which could be successfully removed or deactivated by employing certain processing methods (cooking, dry heat treatments, germination, irradiation, among others). This review focuses on providing the details on some of the wild and underutilized legumes that might have high potential to be used as human food and animal feed, along with providing information for overcoming the malnutrition-associated problems and also for future commercial exploitation such as a source of nutraceuticals, for new food formulations, biofortification, and in product development.

Summary: Forty‐nine lactating women from Guatemala, 18 from a rural community and 31 from Guatemala City, were immunized orally with a protein extract from Vigna sinensis. Oral vaccination during the 1st week post‐partum induced the appearance of short‐lived, specific antibodies in milk in 59% of the subjects. No differences in rates of lactoconvertion were found either between socioeconomic groups or between malnourished and well‐nourished women.

Air classification of flours of three legume species: Effect of starch granule size distribution

1986

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The effect of starch granule size distribution on separation behaviour of whole starchy grain legume flours during air classification was studied, using laboratoryscale equipment and two varieties each of cowpea (Vignu unguiculata), faba bean (Vicia fubu) and pigeonpea (Cujunus cujun). Cut points at a range of classifier settings were calculated from particle-size analysis of the fines and coarse fractions using a Coulter counter. The whole flours varied considerably in starch granule size distribution between species and varieties. Cowpea, which contained a high proportion of small starch granules, yielded fines with a higher starch content and a greater dry weight yield than the other species studied.
