- Lupin, often
spelled lupine in North America, is the common name for members of the
genus Lupinus in the family Fabaceae. The genus comprises between
150-200 species, and has a wide distribution in the Mediterranean region
- Subgen. Lupinus, and the Americas - Subgen. Platycarpos (Wats.) Kurl.
The species are mostly herbaceous perennial plants 0.3-1.5 m tall, but
some are annual plants and a few are shrubs up to 3 m tall, with one,
Lupinus jaimehintoniana, a tree 8 m high with a trunk 20 cm in diameter,
from the Mexican state of Oaxaca.
- The species
includes Lupinus albus Lupinus angustifolius, Lupinus luteus,Lupinus
albifrons, Lupinus arboreus, Lupinus aridorum, Lupinus arizonicus,
Lupinus benthamii, Lupinus bicolor, Lupinus chamissonis, Lupinus
diffusus, Lupinus excubitus, Lupinus formosus, Lupinus hirsutissimus,
Lupinus jaimehintoniana, Lupinus longifolius, Lupinus microcarpus,
Lupinus mutabilis, Lupinus nanus, Lupinus nootkatensis,Lupinus perennis,
Lupinus polyphyllus, Lupinus sparsiflorus, Lupinus stiversii, Lupinus
succulentus, Lupinus sulphureus, Lupinus texensis, Lupinus tidestromii,
Lupinus variicolorand Lupinus villosus.
- They have a
characteristic and easily recognised leaf shape, with soft green to
grey-green or silvery leaves with the blades usually palmately divided
into 5–17 leaflets or reduced to a single leaflet in a few species of
the southeastern United States; in many species, the leaves are hairy
with silvery hairs, often densely so. The flowers are produced in dense
or open whorls on an erect spike, each flower 1-2 cm long, with a
typical peaflower shape with an upper 'standard', two lateral 'wings'
and two lower petals fused as a 'keel'. The fruit is a pod containing
several seeds.
- Lupins are
popular ornamental plants in gardens. There are numerous hybrids and
cultivars. Some species, such as Lupinus polyphyllus and hybrids like
the Rainbow Lupin (Lupinus × regalis) are common garden flowers. Others,
such as the Yellow Bush Lupin L. arboreus are considered invasive weeds
when they appear outside their native range.
- In a pilot
process for obtaining protein isolates from white lupin seed, after a
careful optimization of the process parameters, two valuable food
ingredients were prepared: lupin protein isolate type E, with a useful
emulsifying capacity, and lupin protein isolate type F, with a high
capability of foam formation and stabilization. The spray-drying process
was particularly critical for inducing some thermal damage, but a
careful selection of the conditions permitted ingredients having only
marginally impaired lysine bioavailability to be obtained. The
reproducibility of the protein extraction process was tested on two
different lupin varieties.
- The Sweet White
Lupin Bean produces three principal products: Lupin oil, Lupin flour and
Lupin fiber. Crude Lupin Oil is produced by a process called solvent
extraction. After the seed has been cleaned and dehulled by machines,
crushed and its oil removed the remaining flakes are called Lupin meal.
The fiber may be separated and the remaining product is often
micro-ground into flour. The Sweet White Lupin Bean also produces a
valuable secondary product, Lupin sprouts.
- Earmarked as the
next major competitor to soybean as a high protein source, lupin flour,
a food ingredient used in pasta and bread products, has attracted
attention from food safety officials in Australia following reports of
severe allergic reactions. Recent research sheds new light on the
allergenicity of lupin, suggesting that common assumptions about the
dangers of the ingredient could be overblown.
- Pulse Australia,
along with the GRDC and the NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI),
have taken up the challenge and formulated a Lupin Industry Plan for
Eastern Australia, with the aim of having 150,000 hectares in NSW sown
to lupins by 2015, with an average yield of 1.6 tonnes per hectare. In
2006, 54,000 hectares were sown.In Victoria they want 105,000ha (up from
30,000ha in 2006) to be sown by 2015 and yielding 1.6t/ha, with a
similar target in South Australia, which has 65,000ha in production. The
potential market through industrial processing or through on-farm use is
very large in Western European countries.
