The composition and antioxidant activity of bound phenolics in three legumes (soybean, vicia faba, and kidney bean), and their metabolism and bioaccessibility in the gastrointestinal tract were investigated in this study. The total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, and antioxidant activities (ABTS and FRAP) were evaluated. The phytochemical compositions of the three legumes after acid/alkaline hydrolysis, simulated gastrointestinal digestion, and colonic fermentation were identified and quantified by UPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS/MS and HPLC-ESI-QqQ-MS/MS. The results showed that the three legumes were rich in bound phenolic compounds, and possessed a strong antioxidant activity; among which kidney bean showed a higher bound flavonoid content and antioxidant activity than the other two legumes. Alkaline hydrolysis allowed a more thorough extraction of the bound phenolics of the three legumes than acid hydrolysis. The released contents of bound phenolics were extremely low in in vitro digestion, whereas colonic fermentation favored the release of more phenolic compounds. Kidney bean, which presented the highest bound flavonoid content and antioxidant activity, had the lowest bioaccessibility. Our study provides a wider insight into the constituents and bioavailability of bound phenolic compounds in the three legumes.
