Legumes are considered highly nutritious and sustainable food. Accordingly, there is a steady growth in the consumption of legumes worldwide, including in Australia. Due to lengthy soaking and cooking times, consumers prefer ready-to-eat canned legumes. The current processing technologies are energy and water-intensive and generate considerable waste. This project investigates the application of non-thermal technologies to reduce processing time, water and energy use and enable the recovery of valuable polyphenols and soluble dietary fibres normally lost in the wastewater. This knowledge will lead to sustainable beans processing, delivering improved productivity to Australian manufacturers and quality food to Australian consumers.

豆类被认为是高营养和可持续的食物。因此，全球豆类消费量稳步增长，包括澳大利亚。由于长时间的浸泡和烹饪时间，消费者更喜欢即食罐装豆类。目前的加工技术是能源和水密集型的，并产生大量废物。该项目研究了非热技术的应用，以减少处理时间，水和能源的使用，并能够回收通常在废水中损失的有价值的多酚和可溶性膳食纤维。这些知识将导致可持续的豆类加工，为澳大利亚制造商提供更高的生产力，并为澳大利亚消费者提供优质食品。
