Recently, a group of betainized compounds have been suggested to play a role in health effects in relation to a whole-grain-rich diet.The aims of this study were to develop a quantitative mass spectrometric method for selected betainized compounds in human Background: Environmental enteric dysfunction (EED), frequently seen in rural Malawian children, causes chronic inflammation and increases the risk of stunting. Legumes may be beneficial for improving nutrition and reducing the risk of developing EED in weaning children. Objective: The objectives of
