Fourier transform infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to study healthy and diseased leaves of rice, corn, and broad bean. The results show that the infrared spectra of the leaves are mainly composed of the absorption bands of proteins and polysaccharide. The spectra are similar, but the differences were observed in the peak positions, shapes, and absorption ratios. The remarkable differences in correlation coefficients were also observed in the region of 1 800-1 000 cm(-1) of the second derivate spectra. The absorption ratio A1 056 /A1 652 of healthy rice leaves and rice blast leaves, A1 652/A2 920 of healthy broad bean leaves and leaves, A1 056/A2 920 of healthy corn and corn rust (non-lesion site), and A1 652/A2 920 of healthy corn and corn rust (lesion site) all show a decline from healthy to diseased leaves, showing that the contents of polysaccharide and the protein have some differences.

Faba bean ( L.) is a valuable ingredient in plant-based foods such as meat and dairy analogues. However, its typical taste and aroma are considered off-flavours in these food applications, representing a bottleneck during processing.

With the increasing severity of heavy metal pollution in soil and water, phytoremediation is becoming increasingly popular because of its low cost, high returns, and environmental friendliness. The use of leguminous plants such as the broad bean for heavy metal remediation is becoming a research hotspot because of their symbiotic relationship with rhizobia. This study investigated the cadmium (Cd) remediation ability of fava beans by M.

Clover yellow vein virus (ClYVV), a potyvirus that infects various dicotyledonous plants, poses a significant threat to the cultivation of legumes. Although potyviral NIa-Pro was extensively studied in viral infection cycle and host antiviral responses, the contribution of NIa-Pro protease activity to virus systemic symptoms has not yet been reported. In this study, we developed infectious clones of a ClYVV isolated from Pisum sativum.

Broad beans, a seasonal leguminous vegetable renowned for their distinctive flavor and high-quality plant protein, present unique opportunities for culinary and nutritional applications. To better understand the impact of various blanching processes on their characteristics, we employed headspace gas chromatography-ion mobility mass spectrometry (HS-GC-IMS) and biochemical tests to evaluate changes in color, volatile compound content, and levels of antioxidant-related substances following different blanching treatments. Our findings revealed that microwave blanching significantly influenced the a* metric and antioxidant capacity of broad beans.

The present study investigated the properties of galactomannan, a water-soluble polysaccharide extracted from the Prosopis farcta (Çeti) plant. These properties encompassed its functional characteristics, chemical composition, rheological behavior, and morphological structure. The results were systematically compared with those of the commercially utilized locust bean gum (LBG).
