Variety traits

Protein content — small-seeded faba bean

Vicia faba L. var. minuta (hort. ex Alef.) Mansf.

Protein content is a key quality indicator for small-seeded faba beans, determining their value as a plant-based protein source. The crop is characterized by a wide range of crude protein values from 22% to 38% based on dry matter.

In the reference 38 varieties crop Tick Bean, where this is mentioned in the description.

The crude protein content in the grain of this crop is subject to significant variability due to varietal characteristics, agricultural practices, and growing conditions. Values exceeding 30% are traditionally classified as high, making the crop an effective alternative to soybean meal in compound feeds.

Protein accumulation in faba bean grain is significantly influenced by the efficiency of symbiotic nitrogen fixation with nodule bacteria, the level of potassium and sulfur supply to the crops, and the plant's tolerance to environmental stresses, such as drought. In addition to quantitative content, the amino acid profile, which includes lysine, arginine, histidine, and methionine, is of great importance.
