The problem of food protein in the food products is one of the most vital nowadays. It is solved mostly by means of combining protein of plant and animal origin. Annual grain legumes as well as oil crops play an important role in solving this problem. Grain legumes provide obtaining the plant protein of high quality, which can be used in food and fodder industry. Annual grain legumes contain by 2-3 times more protein than cereal crops. The protein of these crops is well balanced by aminoacid content and is physically active. It is known to have high nutritive, medicinal and fodder value and is well assimilated in the human organism. The production of grain legume products is not stable in Ukraine because of the climatic conditions, imperfection of crop placing, non-observance of the growing technology and general crisis factors in agro-industrial production. The Ukrainian agricultural economy strives for the increase in grain legume production. This can be achieved through the extention of land under this crops to 1.7 million per hectare, establishing optimal relationship of cereal and grain legumes
