A series of laboratory tests were conducted on fava bean peel powder, including: chemical composition, mineral content, detection of chemically active compounds, qualitative and quantitative analysis of amino acids, evaluation of functional properties (such as water and fat holding capacity, emulsification, and foam formation), and measurement of antioxidant and antibacterial properties. The results showed that fava bean peels are a rich source of biologically important nutrients, recording good levels of dietary fiber (13.22%) and protein (3.81%), in addition to containing vital minerals such as iron, magnesium, potassium, and zinc. Spectral analyses also revealed the presence of phenolic compounds, most notably Rutin, Kaempferol, Caffeic acid. In addition to Quercetin, which showed remarkable effectiveness in neutralizing free radicals according to the DPPH test, which supports the possibility of using them as natural antioxidants. Alcoholic and aqueous extracts of the peel powder also demonstrated remarkable effectiveness in inhibiting the growth of a group of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. At the functional level, fava bean peel powder demonstrated significant technical properties in the food industry, including high water and fat retention capacity, good emulsification and foam formation indicators, with remarkable stability at specific pH values, qualifying it for use as a functional ingredient in pastries.
