Investigations on Dry Beans (Phaseolus Vulgaris L.): Microstructure, Processing, and Antinutrients (Phytic Acid, Tanning, Enzyme Inhibitors)
… several processing methods on antinutrients of dry beans were investigated. Proximate composition of whole beans showed minor differences among the ten varieties investigated. Most correlations between selected chemical constituents and physical characteristics were relatively low. Dry beans had …

Role of dry beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in binding bile salts and modulating lipid digestion: Impact of the bean matrix and high-hydrostatic pressure processing
… evidence shows that consumption of dry or common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) has positive effects on reducing blood LDL-cholesterol and lipid levels. These health benefits are mainly attributed to the high content of dietary fiber (DF) of beans, including soluble and insoluble DF …

Identification of two potyviruses of phaseolus vulgaris in South Africa
… was conducted by researchers at ARC-PPRI on dry beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) during 1993. All the viruses known to occur on dry beans in South Africa were found, as well as a few unidentified viruses. Of these, samples 93/1 and 93/65 form the basis of this thesis. Electron microscopy (EM) …

Understanding the molecular mechanism of postharvest seed coat darkening in pinto beans
… is one of the leading market classes of dry beans that is affected by postharvest seed coat darkening. Bean producers and vendors encounter significant crop value loss due to the decreased consumer preference for the darker beans. Darker beans also display poor canning quality and longer …

Morpho-agronomic and genetic variation and segregation patterns of phaseolus vulgaris landraces from selected provinces of South Africa
Phaseolus vulgaris L. (dry beans) of Central American origin is a self-pollinating crop with a low frequency of crossing. It is planted for its edible leaves, immature pods, and dried seeds throughout the world. In South Africa, local communities grow a variety of P. vulgaris landraces. Landraces …

Evaluation of the antioxidant activity of extracts and flavonol glycosides isolated from the seed coats of coloured beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)
… they were isolated as effective compounds. Dry beans are typically processed and the seed coats may be removed and discarded prior to consumption. Therefore, a better understanding of the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity of coloured dry bean seed coats would be beneficial in …
