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

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