Abstract: | The current knowledge of dry bean carbohydrates related to their composition, nutritional value and physiological attributes in humans is reviewed. Dry bean carbohydrates represent up to 60% of the total seed weight and starch is the major constituent. Molecular and physicochemical properties of legume starches are also discussed. Data to indicate the possible involvement of the raffinose family of oligosaccharides in flatulence production are given. |
