Our study on the underutilized diversity of legumes in the food industry was recently
published and highlighted on the INRAE
website!
The research uncovers how 32 legume species are used in processed foods but remain overshadowed by soybean, despite their potential to enhance sustainability and biodiversity. With Europe paving the way for diversification, our findings emphasize the need for a broader adoption of legumes like peas, chickpeas, and lentils in global food systems.
Our work was highlighted on the news of the SOLEIL Synchrotron’s website !!
Exciting News!

Hydrocolloids! Her research focuses on the complex interplay of
coacervation and aggregation in protein/polysaccharide
systems. Congratulations, Asna!
