The Challenge

What Our client required?

Optimization process to remove antinutritional factors

Assignment: Beans contain several antinutritional factors which further limit their consumption and affect the digestibility and bioavailability of nutrients. Therefore, one of our clients approached Food research Lab to optimize.

What did we do?

Solution:The beans were supplied by the manufacturers. Our technologists used the natural fermentation process and subsequently studied the nutritional content (protein, fat, starch, vitamin B1, and B2) and anti-nutritional factors that cause flatulence and negatively affect the digestion of carbohydrates, proteins, and minerals. In addition, our process significantly improved the protein digestibility and, at the same time, partial or complete elimination of anti-nutritional compounds (TIA, α-galactosides, IP6, and tannins).
