摘要:

Horse gram and moth bean are the unexploited legumes of the tropics and subtropics grown mostly under dry‐land agriculture. The chemical composition is comparable with commonly cultivated legumes. Like other legumes, these are deficient in methionine and tryptophan. Horse gram is an excellent source of iron and molybdenum. Comparatively, horse gram seeds have higher trypsin inhibitor and hemagglutinin activities and polyphenols than moth bean seeds. Dehusking, germination, cooking, and roasting have been shown to produce beneficial effects on nutritional quality of both the legumes. Both the legumes require prolonged cooking to obtain product of acceptable nature. A soak solution (1.5% NaHCO3+ 0.5% Na2CO3+ 0.75% citric acid) treatment has been shown to reduce cooking time and improve protein quality. Moth bean is mostly consumed asdhalor sprouts. The whole seeds of horse gram are generally utilized as cattle feed. However, it is consumed as a whole seed, sprouts, or whole meal by a large population in rural areas of southern India. Medical uses of these legumes have been discussed.

摘要:

Recent advances in muscle biology concerning the discoveries of a large variety of proteins have been described in this review. The existence of polymorphism in several muscle proteins is now well established. Various isoforms of myosin not only account for the difference in physiological functions and biochemical activity of different fiber types or muscles, but also seem to differ in functional properties in food systems. The functionality of various muscle proteins, especially myosin and actin in the gelation process in modal systems which simulate structured meat products, is discussed at length. Besides, the role of different sub‐units and subfragments of myosin molecule in the gelation mechanism, and the various factors affecting heat‐induced gelation of actomyosin in modal systems are also highlighted. Finally, the areas which need further investigation in this discipline have been suggested.
