In the most modern food ratios, protein is the most deficient and expensive
ingredient. Under conditions of global deficit of protein, the legumes play a relevant role.
Beans, chickpea, soybean, lentil, etc. have been cultivated for long time in the Republic of
Moldova. The Institute of Food Technology from the Republic of Moldova has conducted
studies on perspective legumes varieties of local and foreign origin, developed receipts of new
types of canned food with increased content of vegetal protein, and stated their nutritive and
energetic value. The technologies were adapted to the conditions of industrial processing.
