Plant-Based Milk Alternatives: Types, Processes, Benefits, and Characteristics

F. Reyes-Jurado et al.

Summary: This review provides updated information on plant-based milk alternatives (PBMAs) regarding their raw materials, production processes, technological functionality, nutritional composition, current consumption, benefits, sensory characteristics, and challenges in development. PBMAs show differences in environmental benefits, nutritional composition, and physicochemical properties compared to cow's milk. However, enrichment and blending techniques are being explored to enhance their composition. Technological improvements are needed for gel formation, water holding capacity, texture, and viscoelastic properties of PBMAs. Challenges include stabilization, reduction of antinutrients, off-flavors, and allergens, which can potentially be overcome using emerging technologies.

Kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) milk substitute as a novel plant-based drink: Fatty acid profile, antioxidant activity, in-vitro phenolic bio-accessibility and sensory characteristics

Elif Feyza Aydar et al.

Summary: Recently, the popularity of plant-based milk alternatives has been driven by healthy food trends, sustainability concerns, and environmental impacts. This unique study investigated the in vitro phenolic bioaccessibility, fatty acid composition, and sensory evaluation of kidney bean-based milk from two local varieties in Turkey, oval and cherry. The kidney bean milk had slightly higher protein content (1.92-2.32%) compared to other commercial plant-based milk alternatives. The dominant fatty acids were alpha-linolenic acid (25.66-27.78%) and palmitic acid (18.95-23.08%). The bio-accessibility of total antioxidant capacity ranged from 154% to 295% by cupric reducing antioxidant capacity (CUPRAC) and 50% to 186% by alpha, alpha-diphenyl-beta-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging method, while the bio-accessibility of total phenolic content varied between 207% and 266%. Overall acceptance of kidney bean milks ranged from 2.9 to 4.1 out of 10. These findings highlight kidney bean milk as a potential alternative in the food industry due to its high bio-accessible antioxidant capacity and fatty acid profile, despite the strong beany flavor detected during sensory analysis.

Legumes and Legume-Based Beverages Fermented with Lactic Acid Bacteria as a Potential Carrier of Probiotics and Prebiotics

Patrycja Cichonska et al.

Summary: Fermentation is widely utilized in the processing of dairy, meat, and plant products. With the increasing popularity of plant-based diets and the health benefits of fermented products, there is growing interest in fermenting plant products and selecting suitable microorganisms. This review provides an overview of using lactic acid bacteria (LAB) for fermenting legumes and legume-based beverages. It also explores the prebiotic ingredients in legumes that can support LAB growth. Legumes make a suitable matrix for producing plant-based beverages, which are popular dairy alternatives. Successful fermentation of legumes and legume-based beverages with LAB had been achieved. Legumes naturally contain prebiotic compounds such as oligosaccharides, resistant starch, polyphenols, and isoflavones, which provide various physiological benefits including anti-inflammatory, immune regulation, anti-cancer, and metabolic regulation. The properties of legumes enable them to create synbiotic foods that combine probiotics and prebiotics.

Patrycja Cichonska et al.

Summary: The properties of yogurt-type bean-based beverages produced from nongerminated and germinated beans using high-pressure homogenization and fermentation were compared in this study. The results showed that the germinated beans had different particle size distribution, viscosity, and stability compared to the nongerminated beans. The properties of the tested plant tissue, influenced by high-pressure homogenization and germination, directly impacted the properties of the final products.

Soybean germination limits the role of cell wall integrity in controlling protein physicochemical changes during cooking and improves protein digestibility

Mostafa Zahir et al.

Summary: Previous studies have shown that the in vitro digestibility of proteins in cooked beans is affected by heat treatment, with differences depending on whether proteins are heated in intact cotyledons or bean flour. This study found that maintaining an intact cell wall during cooking improves protein digestibility and affects protein secondary structure and hydrophobicity. Additionally, germination or grinding before cooking may increase protein digestibility, with significant changes observed in protein physicochemical properties.
