The current dependence on a limited variety of primary staple crops for food and nutritional security is not sustainable, particularly in light the challenges posed by climate change. Numerous underutilized legumes are regional importance predominantly produced smallholder farmers. Despite being climate-smart with significant agronomic benefits that can promote sustainable livelihoods, these have garnered research attention compared to commercial crops. Underutilized rich source protein, minerals, bioactive compounds. Their cultivation use persisted, albeit restricted specific cultures, regions, or countries. These increasingly recognized inclusion modern diets, manufacturing protein-based packaging products. This review addresses merits nutrition, health, possible industrial uses enhance their production, improve acceptance, boost commercialization prospects. surrounding consumption lesser-known also explored.

Kidney beans (KBs), as a traditional edible legume, are an important food crop of high nutritional and economic value worldwide. KBs contain full range amino acids proportion essential acids, rich in carbohydrates well vitamins minerals. However, variety non-nutritional factors that impede the digestion absorption nutrients, disrupt normal metabolism produce allergic reactions, which severely limit exploitation related products. Suppressing or removing activity through different processing methods can effectively improve application expand market prospect their The aim this review was to systematically summarize main types mechanisms action, elucidate effects techniques on factors. databases utilized for research included Web Science, PubMed, ScienceDirect Scopus. We considered all original indexed studies written English published between 2012 2023. also look forward future direction producing KB products with low factors, will provide theoretical basis foundation development safer healthier

Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is an essential food staple and source of income for small-holder farmers across Africa. However, yields are greatly threatened by fungal diseases like root rot induced Rhizoctonia solani. This study aimed to evaluate integrated approach utilizing vermicompost tea (VCT) antagonistic microbes effective sustainable management R. solani in common beans. Fourteen strains were first isolated from infected plants collected three Egyptian governorates, with being the most virulent isolate 50% dominance. Subsequently, potential (VCT), Serratia sp., Trichoderma sp. was assessed against this destructive pathogen. Combinations 10% VCT biocontrol agent isolates displayed potent inhibition growth vitro, prompting planta testing. Under greenhouse conditions, applications 5 or marcescens, harzianum, microorganisms (EM1) afforded up 95% protection pre- post-emergence damping-off cv. Giza 6. Similarly, under field combining EM1 (VCT + EM1) harzianum harzianum) substantially suppressed disease severity 65.6% 64.34%, respectively, relative untreated plants. These treatments also elicited defense enzyme activity distinctly improved parameters including 136.68% 132.49% increases pod weight per plant over control GC-MS profiling extracts revealed unique compounds dominated cyclic pregnane, fatty acid methyl esters, linoleic derivatives, free acids oleic, palmitic, stearic confirmed growth-promoting activities. The results verify VCT-mediated delivery synergistic microbial consortia as a platform debilitating soil-borne diseases, enhancing productivity incomes smallholder through regeneration soil health. Further large-scale validation can pave adoption climate-resilient securing nutrition security.

Abstract Underutilized legumes are a good source of plant proteins, but they exhibit hard‐to‐cook nature and poor digestibility due to the presence anti‐nutritional factors. This study focused on factors that drive utilization selected underutilized in Techiman municipality Ghana. The studied were Vigna subterrenea (Bambara groundnut), Cajanus cajan (Pigeon pea), Phaseolus lunatus (Lima bean), Parkia biglobosa (African Locust Canavalia gladiata (Sword bean). survey provided insight into familiarity, uses, preparation methods, extent knowledge their nutritional benefits. demographics participants also described, statistical analysis was done using descriptive statistics. results showed well recognized despite status find use primarily domestic savory food preparation. Consumption mostly occasional its Processing mainly referred boiling with prior removal foreign materials soaking water. Nutrition stood out as most desired property. Strategies aiming at maximizing these must be considered developed since appear formidable resource for combating prevalent insecurity Africa.

Exploring the bioactive compounds in underutilized fruit crops of arid regions reveals a wealth phytochemicals, including polyphenols, vitamins, polyunsaturated fatty acids, amino and carotenoids. These exhibit significant health benefits, evidenced through both vitro vivo studies, demonstrating antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, hypolipidemic neuroactive properties. This review delves into found fruits semi-arid regions, highlighting their phytochemical compositions potential preventing chronic diseases, thereby enhancing human health. Underutilized crops, typically grown consumed locally rather than being commercially cultivated or widely traded, offer several advantages. They are easier to grow, more resilient climate change, exceptionally rich phytochemicals with medicinal fruits, such as Indian jujube, gooseberry, bael, tamarind, among others, valuable for high nutritional content meet dietary needs rural populations regions.
