Abstract
Cooked beans of two wild legumes (Canavalia cathartica and C. maritima) were subjected to solid-substrate fermentation by Rhizopus oligosporus and bioactive potential has been compared with raw and cooked beans. Flavonoids and canavanine in raw beans were significantly decreased on cooking, while they were significantly enhanced in fermented beans. Phytic acid content was signficantlty decreased from raw vs. cooked vs. fermented beans. Raw, cooked and fermented beans were devoid of trypsin inhibitors. Hemagglutinin activity of raw beans was completely eliminated on cooking, while SSF increased its activity about 50% of raw beans against A+ve and or B+ve blood groups. Solid-substrate fermentation of cooked beans with R. oligosporus resulted in better nutraceutical potential compared to raw and mearly cooked beans qualifying as important nutraceutical source to develop indigenous value-added products.

Functional Foods in Human Health and Beyond
Foods are important source of nutrients including carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and other minerals. Furthermore, the functional foods are those agents that have additional components that are essential supports to the body in terms of antioxidant and pharmacologically active agents. The predominant functional foods are of plant in origin, whereas some ...read more
Harnessing Bioactive Compounds from Food Waste: Sustainable Extraction Strategies and Health Applications
Food waste presents a significant challenge across the postharvest cycle, from agricultural production to distribution. However, within this waste lies a treasure trove of bioactive chemicals that hold immense potential for nutraceuticals, functional foods, and postharvest additives, including antimicrobials. Various extraction methods, such as solvent extraction (SE), supercritical fluid extraction ...read more
