    Abstract:
    Red kidney beans (RKB) serve as a powerhouse packed with a plethora of largely unexplored extraordinary chemical entities with potential significance. However, their nutraceutical applications as a functional hypoglycemic food still lag behind and warrant further investigation. With a scope to optimize chemical and biological traits of RKB, green modification approaches (processing methods) seem inevitable. Accordingly, the current study offered the first integrative workflow to scrutinize dynamic changes in chemical profiles of differently processed RKB and their potential entanglements on diabetes mitigation using Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography-mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) coupled with chemometrics. Different physical and biological processing treatments namely germination, fermentation, cooking and dehulling were preliminarily implemented on RKB. Complementarily, the concomitant metabolite alterations among differently processed RKB were monitored and interpreted. Next, an in-vitro α-amylase and α-glycosidase inhibitory testing of the differently processed samples was conducted and integrated with orthogonal projection to latent structures (OPLS) analysis to pinpoint the possible efficacy compounds. A total of 72 compounds spanning fatty acids and their glycerides, flavonoids, phenolic acids, amino acids, dipeptides, phytosterols and betaxanthins were profiled. Given this analysis and compared with raw unprocessed samples, it was found that flavonoids experienced notable accumulation during germination while both fermentation and dehulling approaches sharply intensified the content of amino acids and dipeptides. Comparably, Fatty acids, phytosterols and betaxanthins were unevenly distributed among the comparable samples. Admittedly, OPLS-DA revealed an evident discrimination among the processed samples assuring their quite compositional discrepancies. In a more targeted approach, kaempferol-O-sophoroside, quercetin, carlinoside and betavulgarin emerged as focal discriminators of sprouted samples while citrulline, linoleic acid, linolenoyl-glycerol and stigmasterol were the determining metabolites in cooked samples. Our efficacy experimental findings emphasized that the different RKB samples exerted profound inhibitory actions against both α-amylase and α-glycosidase enzymes with the most promising observations in the case of sprouted and cooked samples. Coincidently, OPLS analysis revealed selective enhancement of possible efficacy constituents primarily citrulline, formononetin, gamabufotalin, kaempferol-O-sophoroside, carlinoside, oleic acid and ergosterol in sprouted and cooked samples rationalizing their noteworthy α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities. Taken together, this integrated work provides insightful perspectives beyond the positive impact of different processing protocols on bioactives accumulation and pharmacological traits of RKB expanding their utilization as functional hypoglycemic food to rectify diabetes.
