Makhloufi L, Yamani MI. A Study of Physical, Chemical, and Sensory Characteristics of Novel Legume Dips. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF FOOD SCIENCE 2024; 2024:2875348. [PMID: 38529317 PMCID: PMC10963104 DOI: 10.1155/2024/2875348] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2023] [Revised: 03/03/2024] [Accepted: 03/05/2024] [Indexed: 03/27/2024]
Abstract
There is a consensus among experts and consumers that pulses are a good source of nutrients and fiber. In a traditional hummus recipe, chickpeas are the major ingredient. The present study is aimed at developing new legume dips by exchanging chickpeas (Chd) with dry green (Gld) and red lentils (Rld), dry white beans (Wbd), and dry green peas (Gpd). Presoaking, boiling, proximate composition, pH, energy, color measurement, and sensory evaluation were conducted on the dips using chickpea dip (hummus) as a control. One-way ANOVA was used to determine the differences between the dips. The results revealed significant differences in the proximate composition of legume dips. The protein content of the five samples ranged between 7.46% and 9.19%, while the values varied from 8.59% to 10.93% in fat, 3.88% to 6.54% in crude fiber, 14.48% to 15.51% in carbohydrates, 171.95 to 195.13 in energy, 1.55% to 1.76% in ash, and 63.35% to 66.90% in moisture. These variations could be attributed to the type and composition of each legume, the soaking and boiling process, and the tahini added during the preparation. pH ranged between 4.5 and 4.7. The color measurement indicated that the five legume dips could be considered bright products (high L∗>67), with a positive color valuebluered-green and yellow-. Significant differences (p ≤ 0.05) were observed in the legume dips sensory evaluation, and the red lentil dip was the most acceptable with results comparable to the chickpea dip; it was followed by the green lentil, white bean, and green pea dips. These results highlight the feasibility of commercial production of legume dip that promotes human health and gives consumers more choices.

Abstract
Intact cellular powders have gained attention as a functional ingredient due to their lower glycemic response and potential benefits in colon. The isolation of intact cells in the laboratory and pilot plant settings is mainly achieved through thermal treatment with or without the use of limited salts. However, the effects of salt type and concentration on cell porosity, and their impact on the enzymic hydrolysis of encapsulated macro-nutrients such as starch, have been overlooked. In this study, different salt-soaking solutions were used to isolate intact cotyledon cells from white kidney beans. The use of Na2CO3 and Na3PO4 soaking treatments, with high pH (11.5-12.7) and high amount of Na ion (0.1, 0.5 M), greatly improved the yield of cellular powder (49.6-55.5 %), due to the solubilization of pectin through β-elimination and ion exchange. Intact cell walls serve as a physical barrier, significantly reducing the susceptibility of cell to amylolysis when compared to white kidney bean flour and starch counterparts. However, the solubilization of pectin may facilitate enzyme access into the cells by enlarging cell wall permeability. These findings provide new insights into the processing optimization to improve the yield and nutritional value of intact pulse cotyledon cells as a functional food ingredient.

Abstract
Future dietary protein demand will focus more on plant-based sources than animal-based products. In this scenario, legumes and pulses (lentils, beans, chickpeas, etc.) can play a crucial role as they are one of the richest sources of plant proteins with many health benefits. However, legume consumption is undermined due to the hard-to-cook (HTC) phenomenon, which refers to legumes that have high resistance to softening during cooking. This review provides mechanistic insight into the development of the HTC phenomenon in legumes with a special focus on common beans and their nutrition, health benefits, and hydration behaviour. Furthermore, detailed elucidation of HTC mechanisms, mainly pectin-cation-phytate hypothesis and compositional changes of macronutrients like starch, protein, lipids and micronutrients like minerals, phytochemicals and cell wall polysaccharides during HTC development are critically reviewed based on the current research findings. Finally, strategies to improve the hydration and cooking quality of beans are proposed, and a perspective is provided.

Front Nutr 2020; 7:601496.

Abstract
Rapid population growth, climate change, intensive monoculture farming, and resource depletion are among the challenges that threaten the increasingly vulnerable global agri-food system. Heavy reliance on a few major crops is also linked to a monotonous diet, poor dietary habits, and micronutrient deficiencies, which are often associated with diet-related diseases. Diversification-of both agricultural production systems and diet-is a practical and sustainable approach to address these challenges and to improve global food and nutritional security. This strategy is aligned with the recommendations from the EAT-Lancet report, which highlighted the urgent need for increased consumption of plant-based foods to sustain population and planetary health. Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea (L.) Verdc.), an underutilized African legume, has the potential to contribute to improved food and nutrition security, while providing solutions for environmental sustainability and equity in food availability and affordability. This paper discusses the potential role of Bambara groundnut in diversifying agri-food systems and contributing to enhanced dietary and planetary sustainability, with emphasis on areas that span the value chain: from genetics, agroecology, nutrition, processing, and utilization, through to its socioeconomic potential. Bambara groundnut is a sustainable, low-cost source of complex carbohydrates, plant-based protein, unsaturated fatty acids, and essential minerals (magnesium, iron, zinc, and potassium), especially for those living in arid and semi-arid regions. As a legume, Bambara groundnut fixes atmospheric nitrogen to improve soil fertility. It is resilient to adverse environmental conditions and can yield on poor soil. Despite its impressive nutritional and agroecological profile, the potential of Bambara groundnut in improving the global food system is undermined by several factors, including resource limitation, knowledge gap, social stigma, and lack of policy incentives. Multiple research efforts to address these hurdles have led to a more promising outlook for Bambara groundnut; however, there is an urgent need to continue research to realize its full potential.

Abstract
Background:
During frozen storage, the properties of vegetables are greatly influenced by
storage conditions, especially temperature and time, even at low temperatures, suffering important
quality attributes modification as a result of the action of biochemical activity, chemical and physical
phenomena. The effect of freezing on common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) and cowpea bean (Vigna
unguiculata L. Walp.) processed under domestic processing conditions was evaluated to investigate
the contents of resistant starch, oligosaccharides (raffinose and stachyose), phytate levels, protein digestibility
and the inhibitory trypsin activity.
Methods:
The beans were cooked after different pre-soaking treatments and frozen (-20°C) for one,
two and three weeks respectively.
Results:
A reduction was observed in the content of resistant starch by the use of the pre-soaking
treatments; however, it increased significantly after freezing the samples from the treatments in which
the soaking water was maintained and in which the cooked beans were frozen for 7 days. In the case
of oligosaccharide content (raffinose and stachyose), cowpea beans had higher levels than the common
beans, with changes in their values after 7 days of freezing. In the treatments in which the soaking
water was discarded before cooking, raffinose and stachyose showed variable levels. In cowpea,
the treatment in which the soaking water was not used in cooking showed a reduction in the content of
phytate at 14 days of freezing, with inhibition of trypsin at 21 days compared with the initial time. Digestibility
in all treatments was improved after freezing.
Conclusion:
The increase in resistant starch content, removal of phytate and trypsin inhibitors, and
bean flatulence factors were significant in cooked beans after freezing between 14 and 21 days.
