Abstract:
Lupin species provide essential nutrients and bioactive compounds. Within pulses, they
have one of the highest contents of proteins and fibers and are among the poorest in carbohydrates.
The Mediterranean region is an important cradle area of the origin and domestication of cultivated
white lupin (Lupinus albus L.). In this work, we present the characterization of 19 white lupin
landraces collected from several sites in southern Italy, characterized by different pedoclimatic
conditions. The protein contents and electrophoretic patterns, total polyphenols, phytic acid, lipids
and phosphorous content, and reducing and anti-tryptic activities have been determined for each
landrace. The relationships of the compositional characteristics, the area of origin of landraces and
between compositional characteristics and thermo-pluviometric trends that occurred in the genotype
comparison field during the two-year period between 2019 and 2020 are compared and discussed.
From a nutritional point of view, some of the analyzed landraces differ from the commercial reference.
The panel of molecular analyses performed can help in building an identity card for the grain to
rapidly identify those varieties with the desired characteristics.
