Protein Content in Faba Bean

Vicia faba L. var. equina St.-Amans

Protein content is a key indicator of seed quality in faba beans (Vicia faba var. equina), ranging from 23% to 40% in dry matter, with an average value of approximately 29%.

In the reference 10 varieties crop Horse bean, where this is mentioned in the description.

The crude protein content in grain is determined by converting total nitrogen content using a factor of 6.25. The amino acid profile is characterized by high levels of lysine with a deficiency in methionine and tryptophan; breeding efforts are focused on combining high productivity with high-quality protein composition and the reduction of antinutritional factors, such as vicine and convicine.

Protein accumulation is significantly influenced by the level of symbiotic nitrogen fixation, making the inoculation of seeds with specific strains of Rhizobium bacteria mandatory. In agronomic practice, this parameter is used to balance feed rations and evaluate varieties against established standards according to the intended use.
