The present disclosure relates to processes for recovering valuable products from Fabaceae family plant fractions, in particular from Medicago sativa ssp. The processes disclosed herein include processes for obtaining macrofibers, microfibers, a saponin precursor, chloroplast liquid and dry compositions and a Rubisco precursor. There is also disclosed herein processes for extracting from Fabaceae family plants valuable compounds such as proteins, enzymes, peptides, amino acids, fatty acids, fatty alcohols, terpenes, phenols and pigments. The processes may comprise at least one of separating plant fibers while attenuating shear forces, maintaining the temperature at or below 45°C, maintaining the pH above 4 and adding antioxidant and/or antimicrobial agents. Compositions comprising these recovered Fabaceae family plant products and uses thereof are also disclosed. La présente invention concerne des procédés de récupération de produits valorisables à partir de fractions végétales de la famille des Fabaceae, en particulier de Medicago sativa ssp. . Les procédés de l'invention comprennent des procédés d'obtention de macrofibres, de microfibres, d'un précurseur de saponine, de liquide chloroplastique et de compositions sèches et d'un précurseur de Rubisco. L'invention concerne également des procédés pour extraire de la famille des Fabaceae des composés valorisables tels que des protéines, des enzymes, des peptides, des acides aminés, des acides gras, des alcools gras, des terpènes, des phénols et des pigments. Les procédés peuvent comprendre au moins l'une des étapes consistant à séparer des fibres végétales tout en atténuant les forces de cisaillement, à maintenir la température à ou au-dessous de 45 °C, à maintenir le pH au-dessus de 4 et à ajouter des agents antioxydants et/ou antimicrobiens. L'invention concerne également des compositions comprenant ces produits végétaux de la famille Fabaceae récupérés et leurs utilisations.
