Article Abstract
The compositional, bioactive, functional, pasting, and thermal characteristics of native, dehulled, and germinated grass pea flour were examined. Germination significantly improved the protein content and bioactive properties while simultaneously reducing total carbohydrate and fat levels. However, dehulling increased the fat content, foaming, and emulsion properties. Dehulling and germination significantly increased (p < 0.05) the functional properties by improving flowability and cohesiveness. Although processing methods enhance functional properties, the pasting properties of dehulled and germinated flours differ significantly (p < 0.05) from the native flour. The X-ray diffraction patterns indicate a reduction in percentage crystallinity in germinated flours. Overall, the study suggests that the dehulling and germination processes enhanced the quality of grass peas by improving nutritive value and functional attributes.

This study evaluated how various processing methods affect the nutritional, functional, and sensory qualities of a saponin-free quinoa-beverage. Bioprocessing techniques-soaking, germination, malting, and dehulling-were applied to reduce saponin and enhance nutritional value. Soaking eliminated saponins entirely, while germination and malting reduced levels to 0.

Bambara groundnut () is an important legume grain in sub-Saharan Africa, including South Africa. Nevertheless, the peculiarity of being hard to cook and mill and the availability of antinutritional factors often limit Bambara groundnut (BGN) use in food applications. This study investigated the impact of dehulling and malting on the nutritional composition, antinutritional factors, and protein digestibility of flours obtained from three BGN varieties (red, cream, and brown).

The extraction of proteins from faba beans is a key process in the food industry, driven by their high protein content and potential as a sustainable alternative to conventional sources. However, this process faces challenges, including the presence of anti-nutritional factors and the need to enhance protein recovery, purity, and quality. This review evaluates dry, wet, and hybrid extraction methods alongside pretreatment strategies, emphasizing their advantages, limitations, and industrial applications.
