mung beans → yield → comparable microbial counts
condition: germinated in sterilized containers
“Mung beans germinated in the laboratory in sterilized containers yielded comparable counts indicating that growth of the bean microflora rather than insanitary conditions was responsible.”
10% soybean oil emulsion → causes → fat overload syndrome
“This syndrome, seen frequently with earlier fat emulsions, has not been reported previously as a complication of the 10% soybean oil emulsion.”
kidney beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) → are → toxic for rats
condition: raw statetoxicity_cause: high concentrations of haemagglutinating lectins
“11 out of the 13 cultivars examined were highly toxic for rats in the raw state. These were all found to contain high concentrations of haemagglutinating lectins (over 10% of the total protein)”
Pinto III and Great Northern kidney beans → are → non-toxic for rats
condition: raw statetoxicity_cause: low-lectin content
“two low‐lectin bean varieties, Pinto III and Great Northern, had no appreciable disruptive effects on the intestines and were essentially non‐toxic for rats”
raw, soaked, and germinated navy beans → caused → weight loss and death in rats
duration: 8-16 days
“Rats fed raw, soaked, and germinated navy beans as a source of dietary protein lost weight and died 8–16 days after the beginning of the experiment”
pyrethroid residues → have preharvest intervals → green beans, zucchinis, and peppers
comparison: lower than the ones specified by the makers of commercial formulateslegislation: maximum residue levels
“The preharvest intervals for the residues in these three vegetables was obtained, taking into account the maximum residue levels established by the existing legislation. They were all lower than the ones specified by the makers of commercial formulates, which ensures a safe enough consumption.”
