Faba beans (Vicia faba L.) are a high-protein legume crop that can be widely cultivated in most climates Europe. The amino acid composition of the bean protein is also beneficial for monogastric animals since it contains great deal lysine, an deficient cereals. Two genotypes were at three sowing densities (45, 60 and 75 seeds per m2) during growing seasons (years 2013–2015). aim research was to...

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is the most common hereditary enzyme defect in humans, caused by a mutation X-linked gene encoding G6PD. The G6PD plays an important role to produced reducing agents which maintain reduced glutathione through pentose phosphate pathway. On ingestion of Faba Bean (Vicia faba L.), vicine and convicine are hydrolyzed β -glucosidase divicine isoura...

Faba bean is a promising alternative to soybean for production of protein-rich plant-based foods. Increased understanding the gelling behaviour non-soy legumes can facilitate development novel foods based on other legumes, such as faba bean. A mixture design was used in this study evaluate effect different proportions protein, starch and fibre fractions extracted from beans gelation properties,...

The versatility of faba bean Vicia grain as valuable protein feed is hampered by its relatively high level the compounds vicine and convicine (VC), which are antinutritive factors in poultry other non-ruminants. objective this study was to fine-map major locus for VC and, based on this, develop a novel low-VC winter bean. Bi-parental F2-families isogenic lines three different genetic background...

Faba bean is a legume used as a food source by humans and animals. However, it presents antinutritional factors such as tannins and phytic acid, compounds that form complexes with proteins and minerals, respectively, decreasing faba bean’s digestive value. Faba bean was treated with tannase and phytase, the effect of this treatment was measured in a study with rats, a group received a diet with...

Wilson and McNab' reported an increase in live-weight and a reduction in pancreas size of chicks when field beans (Viciu fabu L.) were autoclaved at 120 "C for 30 min. Such effects may be due to the presence in the raw field bean of a trypsin inhibitor analogous to those found in the soyabean and other legumes. Information on the presence of trypsin inhibitors in the field bean and on growth of...
