Notes:
Significant thermal effects on in vitro protein quality of red kidney beans were observed. Beans autoclaved at 121°for 10 and 20 min, and common home-cooked beans had improved protein quality. Uncooked beans, and those autoclaved at 128°for 20 min and at 121°for 90 min had reduced protein quality compared to canned beans and those autoclaved at 110°for 20 min and at 121°for 40 and 60 min. Amino acid scores, essential amino acid index and available lysine (%), corrected for in vitro protein digestibility gave comparable results in evaluation of protein quality. Specific lysine, methionine, cysteine and other amino acid ratios overestimated protein quality.
