Bean common mosaic necrosis virus (BCMNV) is one of the most damaging viruses of bean that naturally transmitted by aphid in non persistent manner and through the seeds. BCMNV belongs to the genus Potyvirus and the family Potyviridae. During the growing season of 2004, bean leaf samples with viral

Degradation of four aflatoxins (AFB₁, AFB₂, AFG₁ and AFG₂) by food additives was investigated. Pure aflatoxins were degraded by treatment with solutions of acidic food additives (hydrochloric acid:HCl and sulfuric acid:H₂SO₄),

The effect of soaking, autoclaving and toasting methods on the proximate and mineral composition and anti-nutrients of lima (butter) bean (Phaseolus lunatus L.) was investigated. The raw seed showed high content of proteins, lipids and ash with good values of K, Ca, Mg, P, Na and Fe in comparison

The nutritive potentials of some cowpea varieties such as Ife Brown, Ife Bimpe, IT84E-124, K59 and TVX716 and some under-utilized edible legumes grown in Nigeria such as pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan), lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus), lablab bean (Dolichos lablab), mucuna bean (Mucuna sp.) and

Raw seeds of tribal pulses Atylosia scarabaeoides, Canavalia gladiata, Lablab purpureus var. lignosus, Neonotonia wightii var. coimbatorensis, Rhynchosia filipes, Vigna trilobata and Vigna unguiculata subsp. unguiculata were investigated for their proximate composition, minerals, vitamins (niacin
