Abstract

Lupinus species are some of the most valuable in the Fabaceae family. Lupin seeds contain significant amounts of polyphenols, carotenoids, phytosterols, tocopherols, alkaloids, and peptides with antioxidant, antimicrobial, anticarcinogenic, and anti-inflammatory properties. In addition, its nutritional and bioactive compounds have potential benefits for human health in preventing and treating some diseases. The objective of the present study was to review the morphology, nutritional constituents and uses of lupin in different fields. Lupinus recognizes nutritional properties, namely a high content of protein, dietary fibre, and low-fat content, making it a suitable alternative not only for animal protein but also as a substitute for more processed and less balanced flours from a nutritional point of view, used in the preparation of bread, cakes, and cookies, among others.
