Abstract

In the human nutrition, the beans, due to chemical composition promotes several health benefits, due to chemical composition of this food, and it is indicated in the dietary manipulation of diseases, such as heart disease, mellitus diabetes, obesity and cancer. The main international institution of incentives and promotion of health indicate the diary ingestion the one or more portion of beans. For beans consumption is imperative the grains cooking, since that the cooking reduces the effect of some anti-nutritional and toxic substances, as well as increase the protein digestibility. However, it is important to point out that the termal treatment of the grains can alter the chemical composition (essential elements, proteins and metalloproteins) and the nutrients bioavailability. Therefore, evaluation of the cooking effects in beans may help in health programs aiming the use the functional foods and it will allow to aggregate economic and nutrition values for a (beans) widely consumed by the Brazilian population. For this, the objective of this work is to propose analytical methods to evaluation of the domestic cooking effects in the iron total concentration and distribution of iron inorganic species (Fe(II) e Fe(III)). in beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). Spectrometric techniques and extraction procedures are used to study.
