Main description:

This book presents valuable research and advances in technologies related to ricebean cultivation production and utilization. Focusing on ricebean as a possible solution to the problems of nutritional insecurity and growing populations in developing countries, it provides comprehensive insights into its nutritional significance as an alternative food legume and discusses its utilization to prevent potential food calamities. This book is a valuable resource for food scientists and technologists, agricultural scientists, nutritionists and researchers.
