Progress and Challenges in Faba Bean Genetic Engineering

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Legumes are essential for global food security, serving as a vital source of plant‐based protein and playing a significant role in sustainable agricultural practices. Among legumes, faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is noteworthy due to its high‐protein content, broad climate adaptation, and suitability for cultivation in temperate regions.

Comparative Physicochemical and Techno‐Functional Characterisation of Legume Protein Concentrates for Gluten‐Free Bread Applications

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The increasing demand for plant‐based gluten‐free foods has driven exploration of alternative protein ingredients capable of delivering enhanced structural functionality. This study comparatively evaluated five protein concentrates from red kidney bean (RKB), peanut (PF), soybean (SF), black‐eyed bean (BEB) and melon seed (MSF) to elucidate ...

Short‐Term Response of Soil Health Indicators to Cover Crop Management in Small‐Scale Vegetable Cropping Systems

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT A 2‐year field experiment (2022–2023) was conducted on a clay loam soil in Quebec, Canada, to evaluate the short‐term effect of spring‐seeded cover crop termination methods on soil health indicators. A mixture of field peas (Pisum sativum L.) with oats (Avena sativa L.) in 2022 and with faba beans (Vicia faba L.) in 2023 was seeded in early ...

Lupin Species and Protein Fraction Type Affect the Conformational State and Functional Performance of the Proteins

Sustainable Food Proteins, Volume 4, Issue 2, June 2026.
Defatted white and blue lupin seed flours were each sequentially fractionated into albumin, globulin, and glutelin followed by structure and function evaluation. The albumins had the best solubility profile, globulins produced emulsions with smallest oil droplet sizes, while glutelins had the highest foaming capacity.

Sorghum Protein: Ethanol‐Based Extraction to Improve Yield and Properties

Sustainable Food Proteins, Volume 4, Issue 2, June 2026.
A key barrier to expanding the use of sorghum‐based proteins is the challenge related to protein extraction and utilization via conventional methods. This work evaluated a blended solvent approach (ethanol:alkali) for protein extraction from ground, pearled sorghum and wet‐milled sorghum protein meal to improve yield and properties.

Sensory Assessment of Pressure‐Cooked and Pureed Faba Bean Cultivars: The Contribution of Cotyledon and Seed Coat Constituents Toward the Perception of Sensory Attributes

Sustainable Food Proteins, Volume 4, Issue 2, June 2026.
Whole beans and cotyledons from three faba bean cultivars, Malik, Fabelle, and Snowbird, were processed into purees through a sequence of soaking, blanching, hot filling, pressure cooking, and blending. Purees prepared from whole beans were centrifuged, and the supernatants were collected. A trained sensory panel evaluated the aroma, flavor, taste, and

Fermentation and Enzymatic Pre‐Treatments to Modulate Sensory Properties of Extruded Plant‐Based Meat Alternatives

Sustainable Food Proteins, Volume 4, Issue 2, June 2026.
Fermentation, enzymatic hydrolysis, and enzymatic crosslinking are emerging pre‐treatments to improve the sensory properties of extruded plant‐based meat alternatives. This review critically examines current literature to identify underlying mechanisms, benefits, and key research gaps associated with these pre‐treatments.

Wheat root exudates suppress faba bean Fusarium wilt disease

Food and Energy Security
Continuous cultivation of faba beans often results in a high occurrence of Fusarium wilt. Nevertheless, this issue can be successfully managed through wheat‐faba bean intercropping.
