Abstract
Faba bean (Vicia faba) is a high-protein crop, well-suited as a break crop for cereal rotations with high nitrogen-fixing ability. This study provides comprehensive characterisation encompassing agronomic, nutritional and techno-functional properties of faba bean varieties (4 spring-sown and 4 winter-sown) and explores different protein fractions recovery using Osborne fractionation method. All varieties investigated are suited to cultivate in a temperate maritime climate, especially the winter-sown varieties produced a higher average yield (6.0 t/ha) compared to spring-sown varieties (5.0 t/ha). ‘CARTOUCHE’ flour exhibited the highest protein content (33.01 %), and all flours were rich in lysine (1.75 to 1.43 g/100 g of flour). ‘TUNDRA’ flour showed highest peak viscosity (PV, 541 cP). The Osborne fractionation yielded albumins (15.08 to 19.45 %) along with the highest protein composition (84.17 to 88.79 %) of the total protein recovery. Overall, faba bean flours could be used as functional ingredient in addition to its source of alternative proteins.
