Andean lupin (Lupinus mutabilis Sweet): Processing effects on chemical composition, heat damage, and in vitro protein digestibility [PDF]
AbstractBackground and objectiveAndean lupin (Lupinus mutabilis Sweet) has health benefits with promising possibilities for food industry. The aim of this research was to determine the effect of processing (water debittering, extrusion, and spray‐drying) on chemical composition, heat damage and in vitro protein digestibility in Andean lupin.FindingsThe

Harnessing allelic variation to improve the protein content and amino acid profiles of food legumes
Abstract The growing demand for safe and nutritious foods places unprecedented demands on agriculture. Widespread malnutrition in the Global South could be minimized by including legumes in predominantly cereal‐based cropping systems. Regular legume consumption provides multiple health benefits to humans, positively impacts soil health and microbiome ...

Regulation by sucrose of storage compounds breakdown in germinating seeds of yellow lupine (Lupinus luteus L.), white lupine (Lupinus albus L.) and Andean lupine (Lupinus mutabilis Sweet). II. Mobilization of storage lipid [PDF]
Research of the regulatory function of sucrose in storage lipid breakdown was conducted on isolated embryo axes, excised cotyledons and whole seedlings of three lupine species grown in vitro on medium with 60 mM sucrose or without the sugar. Lack of sucrose in the medium caused significant increase in total lipid content in yellow, white and Andean ...
