Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) flour, starch concentrate (60% starch), protein concentrate (~60% protein) and protein isolate (~85% protein) were added to replace one-quarter of durum wheat semolina to enrich the nutritional quality and physiological functions of durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L.) pasta. The raw pasta samples prepared with protein concentrate or isolate had higher (p ≤ 0.001) protein and lower (p ≤ 0.001) total starch concentrations, along with increased total dietary fiber and slowly digestible starch (p ≤ 0.001) than durum wheat semolina control or those with added whole faba-bean flour or isolated starch. The faba bean fortified pasta had altered starch with increased proportion of medium B-type glucan chains and long C-type glucan chains, reduced starch digestibility and were associated with glycaemia related effects in the human diet. The faba bean fortified pasta had increased protein and dietary fiber that influenced food intake and satiety. The results suggest differential contributions of food ingredients in human health outcomes.

Long-term positioning experiments have demonstrated significant benefits in agricultural production and environmental protection. Faba bean-wheat intercropping with nitrogen fertiliser can effectively mitigate the occurrence of faba bean wilt disease. Identifying the optimal nitrogen application rate is essential for enhancing the disease control efficacy of intercropping.

Soil amendments combined with low cadmium (Cd)-accumulating crops are commonly used for remediating Cd contamination and ensuring food safety. However, the combined effects of soil amendments and the cultivation of faba beans ( L.)-known for their high nutritional quality and low Cd accumulation-in moderately Cd-contaminated soils remain underexplored.

We aimed to synthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using (cardamom) extracts and assess the cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of the cardamom extract, -AgNPs, and the insecticide ATCBRA-commonly used for pest control-on the root system of (broad bean). The chemical composition of the aqueous cardamom extract was identified and quantified using GC-MS, revealing a variety of bioactive compounds also present in cardamom essential oil. These included α-terpinyl acetate (21.

A soluble fraction of faba bean protein was conjugated with tannic acid via the free-radical grafting method using a mixture of ascorbic acid and hydrogen peroxide. Surface plasmon resonance showed a strong bonding between them, while the free amino and thiol group measurements indicated tannic acid's bonding with the amino groups and cysteine residues on the proteins. Structural analysis using intrinsic fluorescence and surface hydrophobicity demonstrated tannic acid's interaction with the aromatic and hydrophobic amino acids of the protein.
