“…Legumes can be divided into two main categories: (1) oilseed legumes which provide a high amount of fat, including peanuts and soybeans, and (2) non-oilseed legumes (undried legumes and dried legumes). The dried legumes are termed “pulses”, which include beans, peas, and lentils [ 68 , 69 ]. Pulses are known for their nutrient density and health benefits, and beans are the major pulses consumed worldwide [ 68 , 69 ].…”

“…The dried legumes are termed “pulses”, which include beans, peas, and lentils [ 68 , 69 ]. Pulses are known for their nutrient density and health benefits, and beans are the major pulses consumed worldwide [ 68 , 69 ]. Therefore, we focused on ten original lineage beans in Thailand, eight of which were dried beans from the Phaseolus and Vigna genera as the representatives of non-oilseed legumes, including three types of the underutilized lima beans, three types of commonly consumed red beans, and commonly consumed mung bean and black gram.…”

Legumes and pulses are nutrient-dense foods providing a good source of protein, complex carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins, minerals, and bioactive compounds. To breed a new lineage of beans with specific nutritional and health beneficial purposes, more information on original lineage beans must be obtained. However, data concerning the nutritive compositions, total phenolic contents (TPCs), and health benefits regarding the antioxidant potentials of some original lineage beans in Thailand remain scarce, causing difficulty in decisional selection to breed a new lineage. Thus, this study aimed to examine the nutritional values (proximate compositions, vitamins, and minerals), TPCs, and antioxidant activities of ten original lineage bean cultivars in Glycine, Phaseolus, and Vigna genera from Genebank, Department of Agriculture (DOA), Thailand. The results indicated that beans in the Glycine genus potentially provided higher energy, protein, fat, and calcium contents than other genera, while the Phaseolus genus tended to provide higher carbohydrate and dietary fiber. Specifically, lima bean cultivar ‘38’ exhibited high vitamin B1, and red kidney bean cultivar ‘112’ exhibited high potassium content. Beans in the Vigna genus exhibited high TPCs and antioxidant activities. However, their nutritional compositions were markedly varied. The results of this work could support bean consumption as a feasible alternative diet and be used as a reference for future bean breeding (within the same genera) of a new lineage with particular nutritional requirements and health potentials.

“…In contrast, different PLS regression models for such crops should be trained to overcome matrix differences compared to chickpeas. Apart from chickpeas, the fat composition in other pulses is ∼1–2% since pulses are not oil-seed crops. − Accordingly, this FT-MIR technique has limitations over such samples since the limit of detection (LOD) of the instrument is about 1%, and the associated FT-MIR signals are not distinct (Figure S4).…”

Fourier-transform mid-infrared (FT-MIR) spectroscopy with an attenuated total reflectance (ATR) sampling interface is a robust technique applicable to high-throughput phenotyping (HTP). This technique is cost-effective in breeding programs compared with wet chemistry techniques (i.e., GC-MS) due to minimal labor and chemical costs. This study aims to probe the applicability of FT-MIR spectroscopy to phenotype total fatty acids in chickpea flour with partial least-squares (PLS) regression as the principal chemometric model. Using two spectral regions (2845.82−3035.92 cm −1 and 1720.17−1763.03 cm −1 ), three PLS models were built to predict total fatty acids (TFA), total unsaturated fatty acids (TUSFA), and total saturated fatty acids (TSFA) in chickpea flour. These regression models had R 2 values of 0.97, 0.97, and 0.91 and root-mean-square error of prediction (RMSEP) values of 12.49, 6.21, and 5.89 mg/100 g, respectively. Predictions using these models support the implementation of a highthroughput workflow to phenotype fatty acids from chickpea flours in an optimized fashion with minimal labor costs, sample preparation, and chemicals, thus eliminating hazardous wastes supporting plant breeding and food processing industries.

“…Participants on a diet with positive immunomodulatory effects were also found to have the highest intake of nuts and pulses, which contain high amounts of fiber, resistant starch, arginine, vitamins, minerals, and other bioactive components [ 53 ]. Numerous studies confirmed the beneficial effects of walnut, pistachio, or almond consumption on the gut microbiota.…”

Proposition of a New POLA Index to Assess the Immunomodulatory Properties of the Diet and Its Relationship with the Gut Microbiota, Using the Example of the Incidence of COVID-19 in a Group of People without Comorbidities

A rise in the incidence of infections with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 has sparked the search for protective strategies against the new pathogen. It is known that individual food components can interact with different immune cells, modulating the immune response of the body. The aim of this study was to develop an index assessing the immunomodulatory potential of diet (POLA index) and to test its utility for the prediction of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in a group of healthy young people following a traditional or vegetarian diet. Data on body composition, anthropometric measurements, physical activity, dietary intake, and gut microbiota were obtained from 95 adults (mean age, 34.66 ± 5.76 years). There was a strong correlation between the dietary inflammatory index and the POLA index (r = 0.90; p < 0.0001). Based on Cohen’s kappa statistic, there was a good agreement in qualitative interpretation between the two indices (kappa = 0.61; p < 0.0001). People on a diet with beneficial immunomodulatory effects had a lower risk of COVID-19 of approximately 80%, as compared with those on a diet with highly unbeneficial immunomodulatory effects. In daily practice, the POLA index might serve as a useful tool for dietitians to identify individuals whose diet is deficient in ingredients for optimal immune system function and change their dietary behavior to ensure optimal immune function that reduces the risk of infection.
