Quantitative Assessment of Soluble Carbohydrates in Two Panels of Pulses (Phaseolus vulgaris and Pisum sativum) Using Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction (UAE) and HPLC [PDF]

Foods
Pulses (edible dry seeds from legumes) are among the most important crops worldwide. These legumes contain a diverse range of carbohydrates, some of which, such as RFOs (raffinose family oligosaccharides), are considered antinutritional factors due to ...

Evidence for water deficit-induced mass increases of raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs) in the leaves of three Craterostigma resurrection plant species [PDF]

Frontiers in Physiology, 2015
The leaves of the resurrection plant Craterostigma plantagineum accumulate sucrose during dehydration, via a conversion from the unusual C8 ketose-sugar 2-octulose.

The metabolism of ageing seeds: changes in the raffinose family oligosaccharides during storage of field bean (Vicia faba var. minor Harz) seeds

Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014
Seeds of field bean cv. Nadwiślański harvested in 1980, 1986 and 1992 were studied. Results of investigations showed that the four analysed sugars (saccharine, verbascose, raffinose and stachyose) made up from 60.1 mg of 1 g dry matter of seeds harvested

Multi-environment evaluation of raffinose-family oligosaccharide content in diverse dry bean varieties and their reduction upon canning. [PDF]

J Sci Food Agric
Abstract BACKGROUND The substantial amount of raffinose family oligosaccharide (RFO) in dry beans causes flatulence and digestive discomfort, limiting the appeal of dry bean food products. Substantial variation exists in RFO content among dry bean varieties, and various food processing steps such as soaking and canning are known to reduce RFO levels ...

First Report on <i>Bacillus</i>-Mediated Gonad Growth and Coloration in Purple Sea Urchin (<i>Strongylocentrotus purpuratus</i>) Using a Plant-Meal Diet. [PDF]

Aquac Nutr
Sea urchin ranching has been proposed as a potential restorative aquaculture activity to manage sea urchins from barrens affecting kelp forests globally. However, the development of sustainable and economically viable formulated feeds for sea urchin ranching is needed.

Characterisation of the α-GOS profile of field pea and cowpea cultivars and their modulation through sustainable processing methods [PDF]

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems
α-galactooligosaccharides (α-GOS) are a class of non-nutritional compounds present in pulses. These carbohydrates are associated with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
