Conclusion
Lupine protein is rich in
protein, as a proportion
30-40%, which is also
rich in arginine.
As it works to lower
cholesterol and fats in
the blood and thus
reduces the risk of
cardiovascular disease.
Recommendations
Lupine protein can be considered as a
valuable source of vegetable protein.
Adding modest amounts of lupine protein
in the diet can provide approach to reduce
high cholesterol in the blood, and thus
reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease.
"Lupinus" (Latin for "Wolf")
was named because of
it's strong ability to absorb
the metals from
contaminated soils.
Why it called
Lupin?
