Resumo
Bean protein is deficient in sulfur amino acids and has reduced digestibility, mainly due to the
poliphenols and phytates present in the grain. The soaking process may reduce the content of these
substances and, thus improving protein digestibility. The purpose of this study was to investigate the
effect of the soaking process on bean protein quality. Common beans (cv Carioca) were soaked before
cooking over two periods of time (4 hours and 12 hours), in the proportion of 1:3 (grain:water) and
another bean sample was cooked without soaking. An experiment with Wistar rats was carried out and
bean protein quality was estimated by means of Net Protein Ratio (NPR) and Net Protein Utilization
(NPU). Soaking process during 4 h was sufficient to reduce in a half the bean cooking time. Soaking for
12 hours improved the protein quality of the beans. Thus, the soaking process may improve the protein
intake of poor community.
