Abstract
Hummus, a traditional spread, represents a nutritionally and functionally rich food product
that has gained significant importance in recent years within modern healthy eating patterns.
Hummus is a source of plant-based proteins, dietary fibers, healthy fats and bioactive
compounds with potential health benefits. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive
review of the existing scientific literature related to hummus, with a particular focus on its
antioxidant potential and analytical methods, nutritional characteristics, and, based on
scientific evidence, to assess the health benefits of hummus. The scientific literature
indicates that hummus is a valuable example of functional food with proven nutritional and
antioxidant properties, making it a recommended part of a balanced and preventive diet.
Future research should focus on clinical trials and the development of new formulations with
enhanced biological effects.
Keywords: hummus, antioxidant activity, chickpeas, functional food
