The nutritional composition of the legume Lupinus albus var. multolupa, raw or after α-galactoside extraction, and its effect on the bioavailability of protein, P, Ca, and Mg by growing rats wasevaluated using a balance technique. The protein and dietary fibre content of the lupin floursstudied was high, and 89–94% of the dietary fibre was present as insoluble dietary fibre. The α-galactoside extraction process did not disrupt the nutritional quality of protein, and the digestive and metabolic utilisation of this nutrient was high and comparable with that obtained from a casein–cystine control diet (pair-fed to the average daily food intake of the experimental groups fed the different lupin diets). Bioavailability of P, Ca, and Mg from the lupin diets tested was high, and supplementation of an exogenous microbial phytase (750 phytase units/kg) did not cause any further improvement. Mineral content in the bone tissue (femur and sternum) did not correlate to mineral balance, which, on the other hand, was related to the mineral content of other tissues such as blood, plasma, liver and kidney. Due to its ability to grow under adverse edaphic and climatic conditions and to its good nutritional quality, α-galactoside-free lupin flour supplemented with the required amounts of minerals and vitamins to meet nutrient requirements can be used as an excellent dietary source for the preparation of dietetic products.

In recent years, nutraceuticals attracted a great amount of attention in the biomedical research due to their significant contribution as natural agents for prevention of various health issues. Ethanolic extracts from the ungerminated and germinated seeds ofLupinus albusL. andLupinus angustifoliusL. were analyzed for the content in isoflavones (genistein) and cinnamic acid derivatives. Additionally, the extracts were evaluated for antimicrobial, antiproliferative, and anti-inflammatory properties, using in vitro and in vivo tests. Germination proved to be a method of choice in increasing the amount of genistein and cinnamic acid derivatives in bothLupinus albusL. andLupinus angustifolius L.seeds. Biological evaluation of all vegetal extracts revealed a weak therapeutic potential for both ungerminated and germinated seeds.

The aim of this research was to develop new antidibetic, anticancer, nephrolithiasis and new food supplements with potential pharmacological activity from readily accessed natural products. In the present study, we investigated the nutritional, mineral profile and phytochemical analysis of the extracts of C. indicus, D. biflorus, G. soja, B. cerifera, O. frumentaceu, E. coracana, P. frutenscens, S. italica, C. viscosa and H. vulgare seeds or pulps. The extraction process involved fractionation with various solvents whereas the estimation of nutrients and minerals was done using AOAC method and ICPMS techniques. The levels of crude protein, carbohydrates, crude fiber, crude fat and ash contents in C. indicus seeds were found to 2.20%, 14.12%, 56.38%, 7.50%, 2.20% and 5.30%, respectively whereas 5.93%, 72.07%, 5.10%, 1.00% and 3.90%, respectively were measured in the seeds of H. vulgare. This is the first scientific report to explore the comprehensive nutrients, mineral content and phytochemical analysis on the C. indicus, D. biflorus, G. soja, B. cerifera, O. frumentaceu, E. coracana, P. frutenscens, S. italica, C. viscosa and H. vulgare seeds and pulps. Which were found as highly medicinal and nutritional due to the presence of dietary fibre, protein, vitamins, minerals and other needful nutrients.
