Bean gas?

When blanching beans for freezing, I observe that they effervesce violently when they hit the boiling water. This is most pronounced for green-shelled beans & limas, which bubble furiously for a second or so. Probably part of that is just the release of air trapped inside, but that would not account for the enormous volume I observed. Does anyone know what gas is being released?
