Variety traits

Lentil protein content

Lens culinaris Medik.

Protein content in lentil seeds is a key quality indicator, ranging from 22% to 35% of dry matter weight. Levels in the 30–35% range are classified as high.

In the reference 15 varieties crop Lentil, where this is mentioned in the description.

Protein content in lentils is determined by a combination of genetic characteristics of the cultivar and growing conditions. It has been established that as seeding rates increase, protein content tends to decrease due to intensified intraspecific competition among plants for nutrients and growing area.

Protein accumulation is stimulated by the application of nitrogen fertilizers, as well as by the use of inoculants that activate nitrogen fixation processes. Furthermore, this indicator is subject to significant fluctuations depending on soil and climatic conditions, including temperature regimes and moisture availability for crops during the growing season.

General information about the subject — on the page Protein content.
