The objective of this study was to determine the effect of soaking, boiling and frying on retention of micro-minerals as well as degradation of polyphenols and phytic acids. Soaking of the beans did not significantly (p > 0.05) decrease mineral, total polyphenol and phytic acid content of beans. ...

Micro-Mineral Retention and Anti-Nutritional Compounds Degradation during Bean Cooking Process
Common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L) may be contaminated with heavy metals and aflatoxins. Cooked beans may also be contaminated with micro-organisms due to poor hygiene and sanitation practices. Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP), which is a globally recognised food safety program...

This paper represents a series of in vitro iron (Fe) bioavailability experiments, Fe content analysis and polyphenolic profile of the first generation of Fe biofortified beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) selected for human trials in Rwanda and released to farmers of that region. The objective of the pre...
