The nutritional characteristics of eight different pea cultivars (Pisum sativum L.) from several European countries were studied. The nutrient content, particularly of protein, showed considerable variability, which depended on genetics, climate, soil and cultural conditions. In contrast with other grain legumes such beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) and soybean (Glycine max), the results of the analysis showed that most of the pea cultivars did not contain significant amounts of lectin, chymotrypsin and α-amylase inhibitor. Thus, no particular processing was needed to reduce their levels of antinutritional factors (ANFs) for human nutrition.

This work also studied the pea seed protein solubility as the nutritive value of peas depends on the availability of their seed proteins for digestion and absorption in the digestive tract. The pea cultivars contained higher levels of extractable nitrogen (N) compounds than other legume seeds. Exhaustive fractionation studies with sodium dodecylsulphate (SDS) have provided valuable information. The general trend with SDS was that a high percent of the protein was soluble. The final insoluble residue contained a very low level of N. These results potentially provide useful guidance on the utilisation of these seeds and their products.
