Fred van de Velde, PhD, principal scientist with NIZO Food Research, describes results of studies on extracting highly functional protein from different legumes that can be grown on open fields in northwestern Europe and other regions of the world. van de Velde shows the impact of heat treatment and drying conditions on the functionality of pea protein and also how other crops, such as lupin and broad beans, show similar behavior during processing. Like peas, which do not have the highest protein yield per hectare, the other leguminous crops can be used for producing both protein and starch.
