Water entry and extrusion of molecular species. Beans were suspended (0.4 g/mL) in deionized water and left at room temperature (22–25°C). Panel a: at the indicated times, the incubation medium was carefully removed and the water entry, reported as a percentage of maximal imbibition, was evaluated by the increase in bean weight. Symbols (graphic file with name FNR-60-31792-g009.jpg), (graphic file with name FNR-60-31792-g010.jpg), (graphic file with name FNR-60-31792-g011.jpg), and (graphic file with name FNR-60-31792-g012.jpg) refer to Zolfino, Borlotto, Cannellino, and Corona, respectively. Panel b: the absorption spectra are reported in the UV-visible region of the imbibition medium after 1 h of incubation. The spectra were acquired directly on the incubation media except for Borlotto for which a twofold dilution in water of the medium was required; data are normalized for the dilution. Blue, red, black, and green lines refer to Zolfino, Borlotto, Cannellino, and Corona, respectively.
