Valorization of Pea (Pisum sativum L.) Hull as a Source of Protein- and Phenolic-Rich Extracts with Biostimulant Potential: Extraction, Characterization and Evaluation in Tomato Seedlings
Pea (Pisum sativum L.) processing generates large amounts of by-products, including hull, which remain largely undervalued despite their protein and phenolic content. We hypothesized that dried pea hull can be valorized into liquid extracts with biostimulant potential, and that their composition and bioactivity can be...
