ABSTRACT

Introduction: The scarlet runner bean (Phaseolus coccineus L.), also known as the runner or ayocote bean, is one of five Phaseolus species domesticated in Mesoamerica. It holds considerable economic importance, ranking third after P. vulgaris and P. lunatus. Despite its relevance, research on its bioactive compounds and potential health benefits still needs to be conducted. Objective: This review explores the nutritional composition, anti-nutritional factors, and bioactive compound levels of P. coccineus, emphasizing their implications for consumer health. Material and method: A comprehensive literature review, following PRISMA 2020 guidelines, was conducted across electronic databases, identifying 163 relevant studies. After applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, 13 studies were selected for analysis. Results: These studies highlighted P. coccineus as a potential source of nutraceutical properties and innovative food products aimed at enhancing nutritional quality. The bioactive compounds, including antioxidants and peptides, suggest benefits in preventing chronic diseases and promoting food security. Conclusion: The Ayocote bean (Phaseolus coccineus) is an underutilized legume with notable nutraceutical potential, rich in bioactive compounds that support oxidative stress reduction, immune modulation, and cardiovascular health. Promoting its use benefits food security, rural economies, and germplasm preservation, highlighting its promise for functional foods and dietary supplementation.
