Nutritional and Techno-Functional Evaluation of Faba Bean (
Article in Foods (Basel, Switzerland), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to evaluate the compositional, functional, antioxidant, thermal, and structural properties of faba bean flour (FBF) and a faba bean protein concentrate (FBC) elaborated by a sustainable dry fractionation method. Proximate composition was determined by analyzing the content of moisture, protein, lipids, ash, total dietary fiber, starch, and available carbohydrates. A methanolic extract was used to analyze total polyphenols and antioxidant capacity using complementary methods. The fatty acid profile was determined by gas chromatography. Techno-functional properties were assayed, determining water-holding capacity (WHC), oil absorption capacity (OAC), and retention capacity of different solvents (SRC), water activity, pH, and titratable acidity. Structural and thermal properties were studied by FTIR and DSC. The dry method produces a concentrate with a low quantity of starch (2.5 vs. 25.6%) and carbohydrates and higher amounts of proteins (61.14 vs. 23.61%). Lipids, mainly mono and polyunsaturated ones, and polyphenols with high antioxidant activity. FBC absorbed a greater proportion of lactic acid, likely due to its higher acidity, and showed higher oil absorption, but retained less water compared to FBF. FTIR and DSC results suggested that the heat-treated proteins (in FBC) exhibited some degree of protein denaturation, unlike the FBF proteins. These findings highlight the potential of dry-fractionated faba bean concentrate as a sustainable and functional food ingredient, particularly for products aimed at improving nutritional quality. Its enhanced antioxidant profile, favorable lipid composition and unique techno-functional properties make it a promising alternative for developing plant-based foods.
