Journal ArticleDOI
Nutritional quality and health benefits of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.): a review.
TL;DR: Chickpea has several potential health benefits, and, in combination with other pulses and cereals, it could have beneficial effects on some of the important human diseases such as CVD, type 2 diabetes, digestive diseases and some cancers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural emulsifiers - Biosurfactants, phospholipids, biopolymers, and colloidal particles: Molecular and physicochemical basis of functional performance.
TL;DR: The focus of this review article is on the replacement of synthetic surfactants with natural emulsifiers, such as amphiphilic proteins, polysaccharides, biosurfactants, phospholipids, and bioparticles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emulsifying properties of chickpea, faba bean, lentil and pea proteins produced by isoelectric precipitation and salt extraction
TL;DR: In this article, the physicochemical properties (surface charge/hydrophobicity, protein solubility, interfacial tension, and droplet size) of chickpea (ChPI), faba bean (FbPI), lentil (LPI), and pea (PPI) protein isolates produced by isoelectric precipitation and salt extraction were investigated relative to each other and a soy protein isolate (SPI).
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioactive proteins and peptides in pulse crops: pea, chickpea and lentil.
TL;DR: Pulse crops are cool season, annually grown legume crops, which are harvested for their seeds, which contain protein and non-protein antinutritional factors, which may cause deleterious effects on the host when the seeds or processed seeds are consumed raw.
Journal ArticleDOI
Minor components of pulses and their potential impact on human health
TL;DR: Pulses contain a number of bioactive substances including enzyme inhibitors, lectins, phytates, oligosaccharides, and phenolic compounds, which can have complementary and overlapping mechanisms of action.

Protease Inhibitors in Plants: Genes for Improving Defenses Against Insects and Pathogens
TL;DR: The inducible chemicals, which can also occur constitutively, include such complex sub stances as antibiotics, alkaloids, and terpenes, as well as proteins such as enzymes, enzyme inhibitors, and lectins, which have provided interesting systems for studying inducibles plant defense.
Journal ArticleDOI
Slow and fast dietary proteins differently modulate postprandial protein accretion
Yves Boirie,Martial Dangin,Pierre Gachon,Marie Paule Vasson,Jean Louis Maubois,Bernard Beaufrère +5 more
TL;DR: The speed of protein digestion and amino acid absorption from the gut has a major effect on whole body protein anabolism after one single meal by analogy with carbohydrate metabolism, slow and fast proteins modulate the postprandial metabolic response, a concept to be applied to wasting situations.

Advances in legume systematics
TL;DR: An examination of the phylogenetic relationships of Papilionoideae and the relationships in Caesalpinioidae and Mimosoideae is examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Legumin and vicilin, storage proteins of legume seeds
TL;DR: The physical, chemical and immunological characteristics of the legumin and vicilin preparations from Pisum sativum are summarised and the distributions of proteins with sedimentation coefficients and/or immunological determinants similar to those of legumin this article.
