Raffinose Family of Oligosaccharides from Lupin Seeds as Prebiotics: Application in Dairy Products

Journal of Food Protection, 2005
The raffinose family of oligosaccharides (RFOs) isolated from lupin seeds (Lupinus albus var. Multolupa) was evaluated for bifidogenic effects during the manufacture of probiotic fermented milk. A mixed starter inoculum was composed of Bifidobacterium lactis Bb-12 and Lactobacillus acidophilus (1:1). Lupins are a rich source of RFOs that can be used as

Variability in the oligosaccharide concentration in seeds of the mapping population of pea (Pisum sativum L.)

Czech Journal of Genetics and Plant Breeding, 2014
Anti-nutritional compounds are among the obstacles to the use of pea seeds as a protein source in both feed and food. These compounds are poorly digested by both monogastric animals and humans.

Therapeutic Potential of Chickpea‐Derived Bioactives: A Review With Perspective of Different In Vitro, Animal, and Human Studies

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is an important dietary legume worldwide and provides micronutrients and phytochemicals, including phenolics, flavonoids, carotenoids, bioactive peptides, dietary fiber, and resistant starch. This narrative review summarizes evidence from in vitro, animal, and human studies on the potential health relevance of ...

CRISPR/Cas9-Mediated Knockout of Galactinol Synthase-Encoding Genes Reduces Raffinose Family Oligosaccharide Levels in Soybean Seeds

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs) are major soluble carbohydrates in soybean seeds that cannot be digested by human and other monogastric animals. Hence, a major goal is to reduce RFO levels to improve the nutritional quality of soybean.

Molecular insights and translational opportunities to enhance heat tolerance in rice

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Heat stress is an increasingly serious threat to rice (Oryza sativa L.) productivity, yet the genetic and regulatory architecture underlying thermotolerance remain poorly resolved and fragmented across studies. Earlier research focused on individual pathways or specific developmental stages; however, recent advances now support an integrated ...

Innovative Emerging Technologies for Pulse Flour Functionalization: A Comparison With Conventional Thermal and Biological Techniques

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Pulse flours, such as those from peas, beans, and chickpeas, are highly valued for their nutritional density, making them essential for meeting the rising global demand for plant‐based and gluten‐free foods. Despite these nutritional advantages, industrial use is limited by specific sensorial, nutritional, and technological constraints ...

Metabolism of the Raffinose Family Oligosaccharides in Leaves of Ajuga reptans L. (Inter- and Intracellular Compartmentation) [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 1995
We recently suggested that leaves of the frost-hardy species Ajuga reptans L. (Lamiaceace) contain two pools of raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFO): a large long-term storage pool in the mesophyll, possibly also involved in frost resistance, and a transport pool in the phloem (M.

Desiccation tolerance mechanisms in the green lineage and beyond

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 6, Page 3159-3175, September 2026.
Ancient origin and recurrent evolution of desiccation tolerance in the green lineage. Summary Water is essential for life on Earth, yet some plants can survive the near‐complete loss of cellular water, a trait known as desiccation tolerance. Although rare in vegetative tissues of vascular plants, desiccation tolerance is scattered across the plant ...

Galactinol synthase transcriptional profile in two genotypes of Coffea canephora with contrasting tolerance to drought

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2015
Increased synthesis of galactinol and raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs) has been reported in vegetative tissues in response to a range of abiotic stresses.
