A sustainable, chemical-free dry tribo-electrostatic separation approach was employed to fractionate navy bean flour. The resulting protein-enriched fractions had 36-38% protein on a moisture free basis, accounting for 43% of the total available protein. SDS-PAGE analysis of the dry-enriched protein fractions showed a similar protein profile to that of the original navy bean flour. The functional properties of these fractions were examined and compared with the commercial soybean protein concentrate as well as navy bean protein isolate obtained by a conventional wet fractionation process. These electrostatically separated protein fractions exhibited superior solubility at their intrinsic pH as well as superior emulsion stability (ES), foam expansion (FE) and foam volume stability (FVS) compared to the wet-fractionated navy bean protein isolate that was almost depleted of albumins, exhibiting poor solubility and foaming properties. These results suggest electrostatic separation as a promising route to deliver functional protein concentrates as novel food formulation ingredients.

Is aquafaba suitable as a coffee creamer and foam enhancer in instant coffee?

Food Chem X

December 2024

Agriculture Research Centre, Central Laboratory of Residue Analysis of Pesticides and Heavy Metals in Foods, Ministry of Agriculture, 12311 Giza, Egypt.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study explored the use of aquafaba (AF) powders from chickpeas and navy beans as creamers and foam enhancers for coffee, using various scientific methods to analyze their properties.
  • - Chickpea AF was found to have higher protein and phenolic content, while navy bean AF had better flowability and solubility, although it was less hygroscopic.
  • - Adding either AF powder to instant coffee increased protein and phenolic content without affecting whiteness; chickpea AF created superior foam, while navy bean AF produced more stable foam.

A Comparison of Dry Bean and Pea Consumption on Serum Cholesterol: A Randomized Controlled Trial in Adults with Mild Hypercholesterolemia.

J Nutr

November 2024

Department of Food and Human Nutritional Sciences, and Dept of Physiology and Pathophysiology, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada; Canadian Centre for Agri-Food Research in Health and Medicine (CCARM), St. Boniface Hospital Albrechtsen Research Centre, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.

Background: Diets including pulses are associated with better cardiovascular profiles, including lipid, glycemia, and hemodynamics; however, evidence is lacking regarding the contributions of individual pulse varieties.

Objectives: This randomized, controlled trial examined the effects of beans or peas individually, relative to rice, on LDL-cholesterol levels (primary outcome) and other indices of cardiovascular disease risk (secondary outcomes) at 6 wk in adults with mild hypercholesterolemia.

Methods: This randomized, controlled, single-blind, 3-arm parallel-group study was conducted in 2 Canadian cities (Edmonton, Alberta; Winnipeg, Manitoba).

Pulse Consumption and Health Outcomes: A Scoping Review.

Nutrients

May 2024

Think Healthy Group, LLC, Washington, DC 20001, USA.

Pulses-comprising the dry, edible seeds of leguminous plants-have long been lauded for their culinary flexibility and substantial nutritional advantages. This scoping review aimed to map the evidence on how pulses contribute to overall human health. Four electronic databases were searched for clinical and observational studies in English.

This study aimed to produce bioactive peptides from navy-bean protein with alcalase and pepsin enzymes (30-300 min) and to load them into a nanoliposome system to stabilize and improve their bioavailability. The degree of hydrolysis and biological activities (scavenging of DPPH, OH, and ABTS free radicals, reducing power, and chelating metal ions) of navy-bean protein were affected by the type of enzyme and hydrolysis time. The average particle size (83-116 nm), PDI (0.
