Adzuki bean

A new Piperaceae amide, pipercide (27), obtained from the fruits of Piper nigrum, shows insecticidal activity against the adzuki bean weevil.25 New pungent compounds of the capsaicinoid group have been isolated from the fruits of Capsicum annuum var. annuum.26... 

The Bowman-Birk type protease inhibitors represent a class of low molecular weight, cysteine-rich proteins found in legume seeds (.10). The major Bowman-Birk inhibitor in soybean seeds is a double-headed protein capable of blocking the activity of both trypsin and chymotrypsin. This protein represents approximately 4% of the total protein in soybean seeds (1J ). In contrast to the soybean trypsin inhibitor (Kunitz), the "double-headed inhibitor (referred to as BB) is typical of protease inhibitors present in a large number of legume seeds for example, peanuts (12) chick peas (33)5 kidney beans (3JO adzuki beans (33) lima beans (16).

Sprouted beans and seeds are another great way to increase the raw power of your diet. You may already be familiar with bean sprouts, found in most grocery stores. These are made from mung beans (small green beans) that have been soaked and sprouted. You can also try sprouting organic alfalfa, broccoli, chia, pumpkin, sunflower, or clover seeds and soybeans, chickpeas, lentils, and adzuki beans. Avoid kidney bean sprouts, as they are highly toxic.

Many other polyamines are known. Among these are a 4-aminobutylcadaverine isolated from root nodules of the adzuki bean and very long partially aromatic hydroxylamine derivatives from venom of common funnel-web spiders (structures at top of page). Cationic polypeptides called silaffins, with masses of 3 kDa, apparently initiate the growth of the silica cell walls of diatoms (Box 4-B). These peptides contain polyamines consisting of 6 to 11 repeated N-methylpropylamine imits covalently attached to lysine residues and also many phosphoserines. ...

Adzuki protein showed a broad endothermic peak at 79 °C (curve II). The effect of protein on the gelatinization of starch was not significant because a heating DSC curve of the mixture of starch and protein with the same mixing ratio as in adzuki beans, i.e. 40% protein (curve I), showed a similar endothermic peak to that of isolated starch alone (not shown), and the enthalpy per gram of starch did not change on addition of protein.
