"Bean powder has been gaining in popularity among consumers due to its reported health benefits including reduced risk of heart disease, obesity and diabetes. Extruded Navy bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) powder can be considered as a cost-effective alternative to resource intensive traditional methods of processing. The objectives of the study presented in this manuscript were 1) to profile the volatile compounds derived from extruded and commercial Navy bean powders using headspace solid-phase microextraction (SPME) combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry; 2) to determine which of the volatile compounds are odor-active with gas chromatography-olfactometry; and 3) to investigate consumer acceptance of products formulated with extruded or commercial bean powder." -- Abstract.
