Abstract

Irradiation and cooking effects were investigated in beans. Determinations of iron and antinutrients and the “in vitro” dialysis of iron were carried out. Cooking caused a decrease in all parameters except for phytate and iron availability. Tannins were inversely correlated with applied irradiation doses. The same thing happened to the dialyzed iron. The 6-kGy-dose irradiation presented positive effects regarding the iron availability and its use is recommended.
