Brasathe Jeganathan’s PhD research at the U of A yielded new, more sustainable ways to extract protein from faba beans, which could help meet the growing demand for plant-based sources of the vital ...

Faba beans have been an excellent source of food protein since pre-historic times, but about 5% of people, mostly from regions where malaria has been endemic and who carry a certain mutation, can't ...

An international team of researchers has managed to read the whole genome of faba bean, and to put the new genome to immediate use, finding a key gene for seed size, an important food characteristic.

Fava beans are a promising plant-based protein source, but many find their flavor unpleasant. A study conducted at the University of Helsinki investigated the root causes of the flavor issues to help ...

The potential for locally grown faba bean to increase the protein content in store-bought bread is being investigated by researchers in the UK. Is faba bean the greatest thing since sliced bread?

The alternative protein trend is on an upwards trajectory. According to Mintel, it is predicted that 75% of all protein demand will be plant-based by 2027. The market research firm also expects alt ...

Faba bean as meat substitute: research brings solutions to challenges with structure and stomach-friendliness A study carried out at the University of Helsinki demonstrates that less refined faba bean ...
