Establishing the effects of climate and soil on the nutritional composition of ...
Osorio, Jazmín; Fortunato, Gianuario; Barilli, Eleonora; Rubiales, Diego; Pinto, Elisabete; Vasconcelos, Marta W.Legumes contribute to sustainable agriculture by reducing fertilizer use, enhancing nitrogen fixation, and with high species diversity (~20,000 species). Spain is a leading EU producer, yielding up to 30,000 tons of different legume varieties annually. The Mediterranean climate, particularly in regions like Andalusia, is under increasing pressure from climate change, with extreme temperature variations and drou...
Influence of planting location and growing season on the nutritional quality of...
Osorio Pérez, Jazmín; Silva, Marta Nunes da; Santos, Carla Sancho dos; Rubiales, Diego; Barilli, Eleonora; Vasconcelos, Marta WiltonLupin is a highly nutritious legume crop, particularly in terms of protein, and certain accessions can accumulate up to 40% of this macronutrient. They are also rich sources of zinc (Zn), magnesium (Mg), iron (Fe), potassium (K) and calcium (Ca) along with vitamin A, B and E (Bryant et al., 2022). Nutritional quality has often been studied in germplam accessions, but environmental effects has often been neglect...

Substituting wheat with chickpea flour in pasta production delivers more nutrit...
Saget, Sophie; Costa, Marcela; Barilli, Eleonora; Vasconcelos, Marta Wilton de; Santos, Carla Sancho; Styles, David; Williams, MikeThe modern food system is characterised by 1) unsustainable agricultural practices, heavily dependent on agrochemical inputs and leaking large amounts of reactive nitrogen (N) whilst degrading soils, and 2) the consumption of energy-rich but nutrient-poor foods, contributing to non-communicable diseases related to malnutrition. Substituting cereals with low-input, protein- and fibre-rich legumes in the producti...
