Seed protein amino acid composition of important local grain legumes Lupinus angustifolius L., Lupinus luteus L., Pisum sativum L. and Vicia faba L.

Abstract: Grain legumes are regarded as highly valuable protein source for human and animal nutrition. Legume protein quality is mainly limited by the amino acids (AAs) tryptophan and sulphur AA. Organic farming in particular requires high seed protein quality for livestock feeding, as chemically produced AAs must not be feeded. Breeding attempts to increase contents of limiting AA are required. In the present survey, the AA content of 107 cultivars of important European grain legume species (Lupinus angustifolius, Lupi… Show more

“…This slightly increased the crude fat content in the experimental diets. The amino acid composition of the protein of the tested seeds was similar to that quoted by Schumacher et al (2011). Differences in amino acid composition of protein of various varieties of legumes are generally small because yield, protein and antinutritive substances content are the main object of interests of plant breeders, and amino acids are of secondary importance (Wang et al 2003).…”

“…Its amino acid composition is generally adequate; however, some species contain deficient amounts of some amino acids [2]. Soybeans worldwide represent the main source of protein; nevertheless, the food industry is in the search for new sources of vegetable proteins of good nutritional quality and functional characteristics superior or equal to soybean proteins [1,2]. Among the species most likely to compete with soybean proteins are legumes of the genus Lupinus [3,4].…”

“…Currently, improving protein content has been the major breeding target for grain legume breeders, with the enhancement of protein quality only of secondary interest (Schumacher et al, 2011). In addition it appears that any increase in grain legume crude protein content may lead to a decrease of protein quality in terms of amino acid profiles (Gatel, 1994).…”
