Abstract
Faba bean products ,i.e., Medammis, Bissara, Nabet soup, Falafel, green faba bean and cooked green faba bean were evaluated for its nutritional value . The obtained results revealed that green faba bean and cooked green faba bean contained the highest amount of tannins and phytic acid followed by dry faba bean , while Falafel and Bissara products showed the lowest contents. Green faba bean and dry faba bean showed the highest contents of trypsin inhibitor followed by cooked green faba bean, while other products showed the lowest contents. The results also indicated that Falafel, Bissara and dry faba bean showed the highest values of essential and non essential amino acids followed by Nabet soup, then Medammis, while cooked and uncooked green faba beans showed the lowest values. Concerning protein utilization, the obtained results indicated that Bissara, Falafel and Nabet soup products showed the highest values of TD, BV and NPU, while cooked green faba bean , green faba bean and Medammis products showed the lowest values . These obtained results revealed that the pretreatments practiced for preparation of these products and cooking method were found to have great effect on antinutrional factors and substantialy on the nutritive value of the products.
