As consumers continue to demand healthy diets and plant-based foods, the acceptance of bean foods, especially non-soy legumes, is gradually increasing. Since the industrial processing of non-soy legumes has just started, it has borrowed many processing strategies from soybeans. However, since the basic ingredients, processing characteristics, and nutritional properties of non-soy legumes are different from those of soybeans, their processing strategies should also be different. This paper reviews the similarities and differences between non-soy legume and soybean processing strategies and gives some suggestions to provide a theoretical basis and strategic recommendations for the industrial processing of non-soy legumes.
Keywords: Non-soy legumes, processing strategy, Processing suitability, Grain DeepProcessing, High-value utilization
