Composition of tepary bean ( Phaseolus acutifolius ) of the Southwestern U.S. and Northern Mexico
Fourteen samples of white (WT), brown (BT), speckled (ST), and black (BKT) tepary beans (Phaseolus acutifolius) grown in the semiarid and arid areas of the southwestern U.S. and northern Mexico, were evaluated for their weight and sizes and analyzed for proximate composition, dietary fiber, trypsin inhibitor activity (TIA), and phytic acid (PA). Seed weight (0.105 g to 0.145 g) and size (7.1 × 5.0 mm to 9.3 × 6.4 mm) were not significantly differ…
Variation in composition of Hopi Indian beans
Dry Phaseolus beans grown on the Hopi Indian reservation by traditional agricultural techniques were collected and compared with beans utilized by the Hopis but grown off the reservation. Species included P. vulgaris, P. acutifolius var. latifolius, P. coccineus and P. lunatus. Ethnobotanical information, morphological and chemical data were obtained. Beans grown on the reservation were generally but not always found to be superior in protein con…
Antinutritional factors in legumes of the Sonoran Desert
Ten samples of legumes indigenous to the Sonoran Desert were analyzed for antinutritional factors: flatulent oligosaccharides, trypsin inhibitors, lectins, phytic acid and cyanogenic glycosides. These samples represented the following species: Phaseolus acutifolius var. latifolius. Phaseolus vulgaris, Lysiloma watsonii and Parkinsonia aculeata. The raffinose and stachyose contents of the beans ranged from 0.00–3.57 percent and 0.00–5.45 percent r…
Papago Indian floodwater fields and Tepary bean protein yields
Traditional Papago Indian floodwater farming today is a threatened agricultural ecosystem in Southwestern North America. Tepary beans, Phaseolus acutifolius var. latifolius, are used here as a nutritional indicator of this native system's efficacy. Teparies are a heat and drought adapted crop of the Papago, and historically one of their most important protein and mineral sources. Their mean protein contents and seed yields per plant tend to be hi…
