Article Abstract
To address the low bioavailability of dihydroquercetin (DHQ) and environmental burden of animal-derived proteins, this study prepared a novel dual-protein emulsion gel system combining whey protein isolate (WPI) and mung bean protein (MBP) for improved DHQ delivery. Different WPI/MBP ratios (100/0 to 0/100) were investigated for gel properties, stability, and DHQ bioaccessibility. Increasing WPI enhanced gel elasticity, water holding capacity, viscosity, and network density. The 80/20 ratio showed the highest DHQ retention (75 % after 24 h UV exposure), bioaccessibility (25 %), and transformation efficiency (67.86 %). As WPI content increased, disulfide bonds became the main force for gel formation, followed by hydrophobic interactions. The antioxidant capacity improved after digestion, with a DPPH scavenging rate over 90 %. These results highlight the potential of the WPI-MBP system for hydrophobic compound delivery and DHQ application in the food industry.

Tofu from six different landraces of chilean common beans (Araucano, Cimarrón, Magnum, Peumo, Sapito, and Tortola) was prepared and analyzed for proximate and lipid composition, antioxidant capacity, and phenolic content. Tofu has higher protein and lipid content, lower carbohydrate and phenolic content, and shows antioxidant capacity. The highest total protein was found for tofu prepared from Cimarrón and Sapito beans.

Many market classes of common beans () have a significant reduction in crop value due to the postharvest darkening of the seed coat. Seed coat darkening is caused by an elevated accumulation and oxidation of proanthocyanidins (PAs). In common bean, the major color gene encodes for a bHLH protein with its allele controlling the postharvest slow darkening seed coat trait.

Background: Glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (G3PDH) mediated the reduction of dihydroxyacetone phosphate to generate Glycerol 3-phosphate (G3P). G3P plays a significant role in plant anti-viral systemic acquired resistance (SAR). Therefore, it is crucial to systematically characterize the G3PDH gene family, especially its role in virus infection in soybean, to facilitate the cultivation of disease-resistant soybean seeds.

Background: One of the most widely consumed legumes worldwide is the common bean. Abiotic stress factors such as heat stress significantly reduce crop productivity, and climate change models predict rising temperatures in many agricultural regions. In the 2021 and 2022 seasons, two field trials were conducted in the Wadi El Natrun Region, El-Behera Governorate, Egypt.

In light of the detrimental consequences of climate change and global warming, drought (water deficit) has emerged as a major abiotic stressor that adversely affects plant development, productivity, and sustainable agriculture globally. Vicia faba L. (faba bean), a highly nutritious leguminous crop, is especially vulnerable to water scarcity.
