Phenolic Profiles and Bioactivities of Ten Original Lineage Beans in Thailand.

Legumes and pulses are important food components with various phytochemicals and health benefits. However, the health-related bioactivities of some underutilized species remain uninvestigated. To breed a new bean lineage with particular health-related properties, this study investigated phenolics (specifically, isoflavones) and the in vitro inhibitory activities of the enzyme relevant to some non-communicable diseases in underutilized cultivars of (lima beans), compared to the commonly consumed (red kidney bean) and beans in the and genera.

Nutritional Compositions, Phenolic Contents, and Antioxidant Potentials of Ten Original Lineage Beans in Thailand.

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.

Proteomic Analysis of Isogenic Rice Reveals Proteins Correlated with Aroma Compound Biosynthesis at Different Developmental Stages.

Fragrant rice has a potent flavor compound, 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline (2AP). A better understanding of the 2AP biosynthetic pathway is gained by proteomic analysis of two isogenic lines of Thai jasmine rice, Oryza sativa L. cv.

Evaluation of sample preparation methods from rice seeds and seedlings suitable for two-dimensional gel electrophoresis.

In a proteomic study, sample preparation is very important because it affects the quality of protein profiles on two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE). This study investigated the suitability of four protein extraction methods-direct lysis buffer extraction, trichloroacetic acid (TCA)/acetone precipitation, phenol extraction, and polyethylene glycol (PEG) fractionation-from rice seeds and seedlings (Oryza sativa L. ssp.
