TL;DR: Eighty-five samples from fifteen different legume seed lines generally available in the UK were examined by measurements of their net protein utilization by rats and by haemagglutination tests with erythrocytes from a number of different animal species, showing many structural and immunological similarities.
Abstract: Eighty-five samples from fifteen different legume seed lines generally available in the UK were examined by measurements of their net protein utilization by rats and by haemagglutination tests with erythrocytes from a number of different animal species. From these results the seeds were classified into four broad groups. Group a seeds from most varieties of kidney (Phaseolus vulgaris), runner (Phaseolus coccineus) and tepary (Phaseolus acutifolius) beans showed high reactivity with all cell types and were also highly toxic. Group b, which contained seeds from lima or butter beans (Phaseolus lunatus) and winged bean (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus), agglutinated only human and pronase-treated rat erythrocytes. These seeds did not support proper growth of the rats although the animals survived the 10 d experimental period. Group c consisted of seeds from lentils (Lens culinaris), peas (Pisum sativum), chick-peas (Cicer arietinum), blackeyed peas (Vigna sinensis), pigeon peas (Cajanus cajan), mung beans (Phaseolus aureus), field or broad beans (Vicia faba) and aduki beans (Phaseolus angularis). These generally had low reactivity with all cells and were non-toxic. Group d, represented by soya (Glycine max) and pinto (Phaseolus vulgaris) beans, generally had low reactivity with all cells but caused growth depression at certain dietary concentrations. This growth depression was probably mainly due to antinutritional factors other than lectins. Lectins from group a seeds showed many structural and immunological similarities. However the subunit composition of the lectin from the tepary bean samples was different from that of the other bean lectins in this or any other groups.

TL;DR: The effects of domestic cooking on the content of amino acids and antinutrients of Phaseolus angularis, P calcaratus and D lablab seeds were evaluated in this article.
Abstract: The effects of domestic cooking on the content of amino acids and antinutrients of Phaseolus angularis, Phaseolus calcaratus and Dolichos lablab seeds were evaluated. Heat treatment (30 min) caused significant declines (P<0·05) in the apparent recovery of most of the essential amino acids except leucine and phenylalanine for P angularis, and except phenylalanine for P calcaratus. Cooking D lablab seeds (60 min) also resulted in a significant reduction (P<0·05) in the apparent recovery of all the essential amino acids except leucine, histidine, lysine and threonine. Increased cooking time for P angularis (60 min), P calcaratus (60 min) and D lablab (120 min) led to a lower apparent recovery of methionine (28·9–31·6%) and cystine (17·1–19·3%). Even with increased cooking times, the total essential amino acid levels in all three cooked seeds remained higher than that of the FAO/WHO requirement, except for methionine and cystine. Cooking (60 min) was found to be effective in reducing the tannin contents of P angularis, P calcaratus and D lablab seeds by 70·6, 64·6 and 74·6%, respectively. Upon cooking, phytate and trypsin inhibitory activity in different seeds were also reduced to different extents depending on the cooking times. ©1997 SCI

TL;DR: In view of the economic importance of this bean, it seems worthwhile to provide an up-todate review, accessible to the Western reader, of Phaseolus angularis W. F. Wight.
Abstract: Phaseolus angularis (Willd.) W. F. Wight is a major crop in China and Japan, but its production is small elsewhere. Although it is the sixth largest crop in Japan, and a frequent subject in Japanese publications, its appearance in Western botanical literature does not reflect this importance. The last literature review in a Western language was published in 1914 (40). In view of the economic importance of this bean, it seems worthwhile to provide an up-todate review, accessible to the Western reader.

TL;DR: The biology, insect density-yield loss relationships, genotype reactions, and consumption and utilisation of food by the legume pod borer, Maruca vitrata (Fabricius) on pigeonpea and Adzuki bean were studied.
Abstract: The biology, insect density-yield loss relationships, genotype reactions, and consumption and utilisation of food by the legume pod borer, Maruca vitrata (Fabricius) on pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan)and Adzuki bean (Phaseolus angularis) were studied. Post-embryonic development was completed in 20.2 to 22.6 days. Grain yield in plants infested with 2 and 4 larvae was the same as that in uninfested controls, while plants infested with 8 and 16 larvae suffered between 50–68% grain yield loss in pigeonpea and 61–71% in Adzuki bean. Food consumption by third instars was highest on ICPL 90011. This genotype had the lowest approximate digestibility (AD) and efficiency of conversion of ingested food (ECI). The significance of these results in relation to economic damage thresholds is discussed.

TL;DR: The hypocholesterolemic effect of the protein concentrates prepared from Phaseolus angularis, Phaseolu calcaratus, and Dolichos lablab seeds relative to that of casein were studied in hamsters to find out the effect of these proteins on cholesterol levels.
Abstract: The hypocholesterolemic effect of the protein concentrates (PCs) prepared from Phaseolus angularis, Phaseolus calcaratus, and Dolichos lablab seeds relative to that of casein were studied in hamsters. Male Golden Syrian hamsters were fed test diets containing these proteins at 12% level for 30 days. As compared with casein, the three legume PCs produced significantly lower (p < 0.05) levels of triglyceride and total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in the blood serum as well as lower liver total lipids and cholesterol contents, except that P. angularis PC gave a only nonsignificantly slight decrease in the serum total cholesterol. Moreover, only the PC of P. calcaratus gave a significantly higher (p < 0.05) level of serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Generally, the PCs of P. calcaratus and D. lablab seemed to be more potent at lowering raised serum cholesterol levels than that of P. angularis.
