Abstract

As well as being used in human and animal nutrition for many years, lupen also plays a role in disease prevention and treatment due to its bioactive components. In addition to its high protein content, lupine flour is an important additive for grain products due to its high water and oil retention capacity and a good emulsifying agent. It is used in products such as lupine, bread, biscuit, cake, pasta, confectionery, soy sauce, in the production of high-quality vegetable oil with high antioxidant content, as gluten-free flour, emulsifier, alternative products to milk and cookies. Lupen is particularly useful for human health against conditions known as metabolic syndrome, which includes a number of factors such as obesity, high blood pressure, insulin resistance, high cholesterol in the blood.
