Starch content of field peas (Pisum sativum L., cv. Trapper) ranges from 43.7 to 48% and, after being subjected to pin milling and air classification, produces a flour containing 78% starch (9,12,13). 

The field pea (Pisum sativum) and small fababean (Vicia faba minor) were pin milled and air classified into protein and starch fractions or, alternately, the protein, starch and fiber were extracted by an aqueous alkali procedure. 

The smooth field pea (Pisum sativum L. cv. Trapper) and small fababean (Vicia faba minor cv. Diana) samples were composites of several lots grown in 1981. After blending, about 20 kg were dehulled on a resinoid disc, abrasive dehuller (19), followed by air aspiration to remove 10 and 15% of hulls, resp. The dehulled seeds were coarse-ground in a hammermill and subdivided for dry and wet processing.

Pisatin (6.23) is an isoflavonoid phytoalexin that is synthesized by pea (Pisum sativum L.) as a response to infection (Preisig et al., 1989). Subsequently, it was shown that pathogens capable of demethylating pisatin were tolerant of this phytoalexin. The enzyme responsible for demethylation is a specific cytochrome P450 mono-oxygenase released by the fungus Nectria haematococca (Delserone et al., 1999).
