1 [11]; 2 [35]; 3 [25]. CAR, carotenoids. The value “min–max” corresponds to the minimum and maximum percentages for each volatile compound identified. “Black bean” refers to the 3 cultivars studied, and “Pinto bean” and “Dark red kidney bean” correspond to 2 cultivars for each [40]. For peas, “Whole” corresponds to 3 different harvest years of the cultivar Eclipse (2005, 2006, and 2007) [11], “Dehulled” corresponds to dehulled pea flour [42], and “Protein” refers to protein concentrate (dry process) [44] and protein isolate (wet process) [42]. For faba beans, “Tannin” corresponds to a group of low-tannin cultivars and a group of high-tannin cultivars [37], and “Storage” corresponds to high-tannin cultivars that were stored under 3 different conditions (ambient, positive, and negative temperatures) during 60 days and a control (sample stored for 0 days) [45]. No terpene was detected in chickpeas and “location” faba beans (see Table 2 for more details).
