Changes in the trypsin inhibitor activity (TIA) of faba beans (Vicia faba L. Major) were investigated after beans were soaked in distilled water, citric acid, and sodium bicarbonate solutions. The soaking solution was discarded. The effect of cookingsdiscarding both soaking and cooking solutionsswas also studied. Finally, a dry-heating process was examined. Soaking treatment produced a slight d...
