Nitrates and nitrites in 27 types of food products for infants from three commercial brands, of normal consumption in the Canary Islands, were determined. The assay of nitrates and nitrites in the solution obtained from the extraction process was undertaken according to the rules of AFNOR. Nitrites

Abstract
Foods based on sweet lupin proteins are gaining attention from industry and consumers because of their possible role in the prevention of cardiovascular disease. When promoting lupin‐based foods for inclusion in a daily diet, the thermal damage suffered during processing is of relevance to the bioactive and nutritional quality of the food product. N‐(2‐furoylmethyl)‐L‐lysine (furosine) quantification demonstrates that currently available sweet lupin protein isolates have a thermal damage comparable to or lower than other traditional food ingredients, and are a good source of lysine in non‐dairy products. In lupin‐based foods claiming to have cholesterol‐lowering potential, shotgun proteomics offers itself as a fast and effective screening method for assessing the biological availability of active peptides. Such a method is readily applicable to other legume‐enriched food products.
