Özet

Lupin seeds (Lupinus albus L.), grown in Turkey, were investigated. Density, thousand grain weight, and hectolitre weight of seeds were 1.16 g/cm(3), 411.4 g, and 68.12 kg/100 1, respectively. The results showed that lupin contained high amounts of protein (32.2%), fibre (16.2%), oil (5.95%), and sugar (5.82%). Oil of seeds was composed of 13.5% saturated, 55.4% monounsaturated, and 31.1% polyunsaturated fatty acids. Sucrose constituted 71% of total sugar content of seeds. Lupin seeds contained 3.9 mg/kg of thiamin, 2.3 mg/kg of riboflavin and 39 mg/kg of niacin. It can be concluded that lupin is an excellent food material with a high nutritional value.
