Abstract

Seeds of Dwarf as a new bean line were subjected to comparing with three commercial genotypes; Assiut 142, Giza 3 and Romy 80 in some vegetative characteristics and nutritional components. The cooking quality and chemical composition as well as, preparation of biscuit with 10% and 20% of whole faba bean seeds flour from the above four genotypes were investigated. The results showed that faba bean seeds are good source of nutrients, such as carbohydrates, minerals and protein, in addition to phenolics and flavonoids compounds.
