Legumes and pulses are nutrient-dense foods providing a good source of protein, complex carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins, minerals, and bioactive compounds. To breed a new lineage of beans with specific nutritional and health beneficial purposes, more information on original lineage beans must be obtained. However, data concerning the nutritive compositions, total phenolic contents (TPCs), and health benefits regarding the antioxidant potentials of some original lineage beans in Thailand remain scarce, causing difficulty in decisional selection to breed a new lineage. Thus, this study aimed to examine the nutritional values (proximate compositions, vitamins, and minerals), TPCs, and antioxidant activities of ten original lineage bean cultivars in , and genera from Genebank, Department of Agriculture (DOA), Thailand. The results indicated that beans in the genus potentially provided higher energy, protein, fat, and calcium contents than other genera, while the genus tended to provide higher carbohydrate and dietary fiber. Specifically, lima bean cultivar '38' exhibited high vitamin B1, and red kidney bean cultivar '112' exhibited high potassium content. Beans in the genus exhibited high TPCs and antioxidant activities. However, their nutritional compositions were markedly varied. The results of this work could support bean consumption as a feasible alternative diet and be used as a reference for future bean breeding (within the same genera) of a new lineage with particular nutritional requirements and health potentials.
豆类是营养密集型食物，能提供优质的蛋白质、复合碳水化合物、纤维、维生素、矿物质和生物活性化合物。为培育具有特定营养和健康益处的新型豆类品种，必须获取有关原始豆类品种的更多信息。然而，关于泰国一些原始豆类品种的营养成分、总酚含量（TPC）以及抗氧化潜力对健康益处的数据仍然匮乏，这给培育新豆类品种的决策选择带来困难。因此，本研究旨在检测泰国农业部基因库中豆科和菜豆属的10个原始豆类品种的营养价值（近似成分、维生素和矿物质）、总酚含量以及抗氧化活性。结果表明，豆科豆类品种可能比其他属的豆类提供更高的能量、蛋白质、脂肪和钙含量，而菜豆属的豆类往往提供更高的碳水化合物和膳食纤维。具体而言，利马豆品种“38”的维生素B1含量高，红芸豆品种“112”的钾含量高。豆科豆类品种表现出较高的总酚含量和抗氧化活性。然而，它们的营养成分差异显著。本研究结果可为豆类作为可行的替代饮食提供支持，并为未来培育具有特定营养需求和健康潜力的新豆类品种（同一属内）提供参考。
