SUMMARY:How the common bean food chain affects mineral quality
DESCRIPTION:In order to prevent and overcome mineral deficiencies\, healthy
  diets with a balanced nutritional profile are key. Common beans and other
  pulses contain significant amounts of minerals and are increasingly being
  suggested as important components of healthy diets. However\, the mineral
  quality of a food product is not only determined by its mineral content b
 ut also by the bioaccessibility of the minerals. While the total mineral c
 ontent comprises all minerals present in the food product\, the bioaccessi
 ble mineral fraction is the amount of minerals that is readily available f
 or absorption in the human body. In this work\, magnesium (Mg)\, calcium (
 Ca)\, iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) within common beans were evaluated as they a
 re reported to be linked to widespread mineral deficiencies.\nBefore miner
 als from common beans can be absorbed in the human body\, the common bean 
 probably already went through several stages of the food chain. Beans can 
 be stored after harvest and are dehulled and/or soaked and cooked before c
 onsumption. When beans are consumed and enter the human body\, they are di
 gested. Within the common bean food matrix\, nutrients\, including mineral
 s\, are encapsulated by a cell wall that is indigestible for humans. In ad
 dition\, common beans contain indigestible compounds which can chelate min
 erals\, i.e. mineral antinutrients.\nIn this seminar\, I will show the eff
 ect of the different stages of the common bean food chain on mineral conce
 ntrations\, antinutrient status and mineral bio-accessibility. Through thi
 s insight\, one can formulate suggestions on how mineral quality of common
  beans can be optimized.\n\n \n\nAbstract
