Taurine content of Mexican beans
1991
Pasantes-Morales, H. | Flores, R.
The taurine content of leguminous seeds, including six varieties of Mexican beans, was examined. Beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) contained taurine at concentrations ranging from 29 to 100 nmol/g. The taurine content of soy bean was 25 nmol/g. Other leguminous seeds containing taurine were lentils (25 nmol/g), chick peas (35 nmol/g), and horse beans (43 nmol/g). About 50% of the taurine content is leached out during soaking. Taurine concentration was not significantly affected by cooking procedures. These results suggest that the concentration of taurine present in beans may be sufficient to provide the taurine requirements of populations in which the average daily consumption of beans is high.
