Flexible retort pouches have been gaining popularity as a food package to replace metal cans because they are lighter in weight and require less energy to process. While there are potential benefits of using pouches for processed bean products, a pilot-scale pouch processing protocol for beans is needed for testing to expand to wider commercial applications. To address that need, the objectives of this study were to optimize a pouch processing method for dry beans and assess the subsequent quality of pouch-processed beans. Black and kidney bean genotypes from different field trials and production years and harvested by different threshing methods were used in this study. Pouch processing was conducted with two types of pouches at a pilot facility, and processing quality included texture, appearance, and color. Cooking time of dry seeds was assessed to understand how variety and environmentally induced differences in cooking time influence pouch processing quality. Kidney beans that required longer dry seed cooking times had firmer texture when pouch processed (<i>r</i> = .72, <i>p</i> < .01). Both genotype and production year impacted cooking time and pouch processing quality. Threshing method had a significant impact on the appearance of processed kidney beans, while it had no significant impact on the processing quality of black beans. Pouch processing requires 42% (at 245°F/118.3°C retort temperature) or 60% (at 250°F/121°C) less retort processing time compared with canning. Both foil and non-foil pouches can be used to differentiate varieties for processing quality, but the non-foil pouches require much less effort to seal. This study provides a detailed methodology for pouch processing and quality evaluation of dry beans and useful information for researchers and processors in future applications of using pouches as alternative packaging for processed beans.</p>","PeriodicalId":17929,"journal":{"name":"Legume Science","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/leg3.213","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139618552","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

New methods to prepare composite bread that meets sensory and nutritional needs of consumers are needed to help address the problem. This study modified the standard recipe and developed bread with 20%, 30% and 50% of the wheat flour substituted by puree from NUA 45 biofortified beans. Ascorbic acid was added to improve the functionality of the yeast and the quality of the bread. Testers rated the 20% bean puree bread as the most acceptable. The appearance, flavour and taste imparted by the bean puree and lemon juice were the major sensory attributes for acceptance, accounting for over 65.79% of the variance in the principal component analysis. Although the test bread was slightly denser than the traditional one with 100% wheat flour, the bean puree enhanced the nutritional quality with average proximate values of protein found to be 1.66 ± 0.18, fat 7.42 ± 0.36, carbohydrates 57.19 ± 0.27, iron 2.04 ± 0.03 and zinc 2.25 ± 0.02 per 100 g of sample.

The aim of this study was to examine the influence of ultrasound pretreatment and drying methods (hot-air and infrared) on the drying time, mass transfer kinetic, effective moisture diffusivity (D<sub>eff</sub>), and rehydration ratio of sprouted mung beans. The ultrasound process (40 kHz and 150 W) was performed in an ultrasonic bath for 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 min. The results showed that the ultrasonic pretreatment increased the moisture diffusion capacity (higher moisture loss) and reduced the drying time of sprouted mung beans. Also, the drying time of samples in the infrared dryer was significantly less than that in the hot-air dryer (<i>p</i> < .05).

Current screening methods are laborious and hampered by limited reproducibility. To remedy this situation, we aimed to establish a simple and reliable hydroponics-based screening system to facilitate studies of red clover–<i>Fusarium avenaceum</i> interactions. First, the fungal spore concentrations were balanced toward the development of red clover plants grown hydroponically. We found that the optimum concentration was 30,000 spores in 2 L of hydroponic medium to ensure infection during the plant growth period in this system. The procedure was scaled-up to screen plants from 25 populations to identify red clover individuals with the improved resistance to <i>F. avenaceum</i>. Susceptible plants had approximately two-fold higher amounts of fungal DNA than resistant plants, demonstrating a correlation between the disease readings of the plants and pathogen DNA. We foresee this screening procedure meeting the needs of both applied breeding work and in-depth molecular studies of responses between this pathogen and its host plant.

In addition, the relative proportion of glutelins and prolamins increased significantly while globulins and albumins decreased at high temperatures. Moreover, the intensity of polypeptides decreased under high temperatures. In our studies, some polypeptides appeared, and others disappeared in late-sown genotypes.

However, consumption is declining in many regions around the world. Addressing barriers to greater pulse intake is important to reverse this trend. Cooking time is one such barrier, with consumers viewing the long cooking times of many pulses as a hurdle to higher consumption due to lack of time or fuel availability. Equipping consumers with simple, accessible ways to reduce pulse cooking time is one way to mitigate this barrier. Accordingly, this study assessed changes to cooking time when pinto beans (<i>Phaseolus vulgaris</i> L.) were cooked at four elevations using different soaking conditions, which reflect a combination of the soaking method and salt added to the soaking solution. There were seven different cooking conditions: soaking via the overnight or quick soak method in only water or in 1% sodium chloride (NaCl) or sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO<sub>3</sub>) solutions and a no soak with no salt added comparison. Using an overnight (12-h) soak or a quick soak resulted in similar reductions in cooking time compared to unsoaked beans. Soaking in NaCl and NaHCO<sub>3</sub> solutions further decreased cooking time than when only water was used, with the shortest cooking times seen for NaHCO<sub>3</sub>. Elevation also impacted cooking time, with the longest cooking time being for unsoaked beans at the highest testing elevation. Adding either salt to the soaking water reduced the effect of elevation.
