Thiamin and ascorbic acid retention and visual and textural qualities in thermally processed and stored green beans and Royal Ann cherries packed in pouches and cansAbou-Fadel, Olga Samir 19 July 1982 (has links)
Thiamin and ascorbic acid content and retention were determined
in raw, blanched, pouched and canned green beans immediately
after processing and after storage for four months at room temperature
or at 37.5°C. Ascorbic acid was also determined in raw, pouched
and canned Royal Ann cherries immediately after processing and after
storage for six months at room temperature. Five replicates of green
beans and three replicates of cherries were assayed. Compared to the
raw green beans, the blanched green beans were higher in apparent
thiamin and lower in ascorbic acid. There was significantly more
thiamin and ascorbic acid in the pouched green beans and more
ascorbic acid in the pouched cherries than in the canned ones.
There were no significant losses in these two vitamins in the
pouched and canned products after four months storage at room
temperature. These vitamins, however, were significantly lower
in the pouched and canned products after four months storage
at 37.8°C. The liquid portions of the pouched products had significantly
higher concentrations of these water soluble vitamins
than the canned ones. However, the total amount of liquid portion
was lower in the pouched than in the canned products, leading
to smaller total vitamin losses in the pouched products.
Canned green beans were yellower and lighter in color than
pouched green beans. Pouched cherries were significantly darker
red than the canned cherries. The pouched products were firmer
in texture than the canned. Results of this study demonstrate
that pouched green beans and cherries have a better nutritional
value, color and texture than the canned ones. / Graduation date: 1983

The texture and appearance of dual blanched frozen green beansFarrier, Ray Wesley 02 November 1962 (has links)
A quality problem that frequently occurs with frozen green beans
is the sloughing of the skin (epidermal tissues) of the cooked, ready-to-
serve bean pods. It was found that by giving the beans a pre-blanch
(relatively mild heat treatment) prior to the blanch treatment normally
used for frozen green beans, on cooking, sloughing was markedly
reduced, and furthermore, the bean pods were firmer.
As an additional heat treatment was involved, over and above what
is now used for commercial packs of frozen green beans, it was of
interest to know the extent to which the color of the beans was affected.
Also of interest was the effect of storage at 0°F for four months on
the color of the beans.
The color changes in the dual and single blanched green beans
were evaluated by two methods: (1) a physical analysis of the light
reflected from the beans (Hunter Color and Color Difference Meter) and, (2) a physical analysis of the light absorbing properties of the
pigments extracted from the beans and subsequent calculation of the
per cent conversion of chlorophyll to pheophytin. Texture (firmness),
as indicated by resistance to shear, was measured by a modified
Kramer Shear Press. A mechanical device was used to determine the
amount of sloughing of the skins of the bean pods.
After a statistical analysis of the data collected in the experiment,
the following conclusions were drawn:
1. The firmness of the cooked, dual and single blanched, frozen
green beans, as measured by the shear press, was found to be highly
significantly negatively correlated with sloughing of the skins.
2. There was no change in lightness or darkness of the color of
single or dual blanched beans over storage at 0°F for four months.
The Hunter "-a [subscript L]/b [subscript L]" index of color noted a significant change in hue
from green towards yellow of the single and dual blanched beans. The
conversion of chlorophyll to pheophytin was not significant over
storage.
3. The color of those beans receiving the 200°F - 150 second
final blanch (single blanch) was the same as the color of those beans
receiving the 210°F - 105 second final blanch (single blanch).
4. As the time and temperature of the pre-blanch increased,
there was a corresponding increase in the amount of chlorophyll
converted to pheophytin, and a change in the visual color of the beans from green towards yellow. The effect of variations of time of preblanch
was much greater on the color of the dual blanched beans than
the effect of variations of temperature of pre-blanch.
5. As the time and temperature of the pre-blanch increased, the
texture (firmness) of the cooked dual blanched beans increased. The
200°F - 150 second final blanch resulted in beans that were firmer
than beans receiving the 210°F - 105 second final blanch,
6. A pre-blanch at 170°F for 30 seconds followed by a final
blanch at 200°F for 150 seconds was found to result in beans that
were similar in color, yet firmer in texture (less sloughing of the
skins) than the single blanched beans. / Graduation date: 1963

Effects of inoculation with rhizobium and nitrogen fertilizer on snap beans, soybeans and lima beansMa, Mei-hwa Wang 15 November 1977 (has links)
The responses of 'Oregon 1604' snap beans (Phaseolus vulgaris
L.), 'Early Thorogreen' lima beans (Phaseolus lunatus L.), and
'Takii's Extra Early' soybeans (Glycine max L.) to two methods of
inoculation with rhizobium (seedcoating and furrow treatments) and
rates of nitrogen fertilizer were studied in field experiments.
Nitrogen rates ranged from 0 to 84 kg/ha.
Nodulation was increased significantly by inoculation but decreased
by nitrogen fertilization in three crops. Yield of snap beans
was increased significantly from increasing nitrogen fertilizer but
was not affected by inoculation. Neither nitrogen fertilizer nor
inoculation influenced soybean yield.
For soybeans and lima beans, furrow inoculation resulted in
significantly higher nodulation than the seedcoating treatment.
Nodulation of snap beans and soybeans was significantly decreased
by nitrogen fertilizer in inoculated plots but not in check plots. Plant
weight of lima beans was significantly increased by nitrogen fertilizer
only when seedcoating inoculation was used.
Plant stands of snap beans were increased 118% by captan seed
treatment but nodulation was significantly reduced. / Graduation date: 1978

Evaluation of the antioxidant activity of extracts and flavonol glycosides isolated from the seed coats of coloured beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)Pitura, Karen 30 August 2011 (has links)
The seed coat of the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) can be considered an important source of flavonoids. Flavonoids are well known for their beneficial effects on health long before they were isolated as effective compounds. Dry beans are typically processed and the seed coats may be removed and discarded prior to consumption. Therefore, a better understanding of the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity of coloured dry bean seed coats would be beneficial in determining their potential use as an ingredient in the functional food and nutraceutical industry. Flavonol glycosides were identified from acetone extracts of seed coats of black beans, pinto beans, and dark and light red kidney beans, representing nine varieties grown in Manitoba. Based on HPLC-MS/MS, black beans contained the 3-O-glycosides of kaempferol, quercetin, and myricetin. Pinto beans contained kaempferol 3-O-glycosides, while light and dark red kidney beans contained quercetin 3-O-glycosides. In addition, we reported the presence of a flavonol triglycoside for the first time in dry bean seed coats. Concentrations of kaempferol-3-O-glucoside were the greatest varying from 0.44 to 7.08 to mg/g of dried seed coat weight, followed by quercetin-3-O-glucoside varying from 0.91 to 3.84 mg/g of dried seed coat weight, and then rutin varying from 0.13 to 0.22 mg/g of dried seed coat weight. The DPPH method demonstrated seed coat crude extracts of Eclipse, a black bean, and Windbreaker, a pinto bean, to have the highest antioxidant activities among the samples. Eclipse, with the maximum concentration of total phenolic compounds, exhibited an antioxidant activity of 57,816 μmol trolox equivalent/100g of dried seed coat weight and Windbreaker, with the maximum concentration of total flavonoid compounds, exhibited an antioxidant activity of 57,451 μmol trolox equivalent/100g of dried seed coat weight. Cellular measures of anti-inflammatory activity of seed coat crude extracts in LPS-induced murine macrophage RAW 264.7 cells showed both anti- and pro-inflammatory effects. Extracts of Windbreaker and Eclipse decreased TNF-α levels, suggesting anti-inflammatory properties, while other varieties showed increased levels of TNF-α production, or pro-inflammatory activity. The results indicate seed coats of Windbreaker and Eclipse may have the potential to be used as a functional food ingredient and possibly prevent disease and enhance human health.

Identification of some esterases of the green bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)Putnam, Teryl Beebe 08 March 1968 (has links)
This investigation was conducted to differentiate the esterases
in a water extract of freeze-dried green beans on the basis of inhibitor
and substrate specificities. An attempt was made to classify
these esterases according to the criteria used for animal esterases.
Activity of the esterases was measured manometrically using
the Gilson differential respirometer. Aqueous extracts of green
beans were found to hydrolyze the acetyl, propionyl, and n-butyryl
esters of glycerol, phenol, and 2-naphthol-6-SO₃Na. No hydrolysis
of triolein or long-chain 2-naphthol-6-SO₃Na esters was noted, indicating
the absence of lipases. A small amount of activity was observed
when the choline esters served as substrates, but this was
attributed to esterases other than cholinesterases. Optimum activity
of the extract on triacetin, tripropion, tributyrin, phenyl acetate,
and phenyl propionate occurred at pH 7.2.
The effects of organophosphorus inhibitors, diethyl p-nitrophenyl
thiophosphate, tetraethyl pyrophosphate, and diisopropylphosphorofluoridate,
at concentrations ranging from 10⁻¹ M to
10⁻¹⁰ M on the esterase activity was studied. These data show that
the green bean extract contains at least three esterases. One was
resistant to certain organophosphorus compounds, suggesting similarity
to animal arylesterases (aryl ester hydrolase, EC 3.1.1.2).
Various concentrations of organophosphorus compounds inhibited the
activity of the two other esterases. These were classified as carboxylesterases
(carboxylic ester hydrolase, EC 3.1.1.1). / Graduation date: 1968
