The lupin kernel mainly consists of proteins with a small amount of fat closely bound to the protein.
A second large compound is the fraction of nutritional fibres. The fibres mainly consist of hemicelluloses with galactose and a few other di- and tri-saccharides as their monomers.
Some proteins are closely connected to the fibre fraction. In addition the proteins contain a small amount of glucose monomers which give them unique functionalities.
Both the protein and the fibre fraction are interesting components with respect to nutritional value and techno-functionality of lupins.
Composition varies with the origin as well as with the cultivated variety and subspecies.
