Pullulanase debranching treatment (6–18 enzyme units (U)/g starch; 0–27 h) and retrogradation process (−30 °C, 2 °C or 20 °C; 1–6 days) was optimized for faba beans. Optimal conditions were determined at 18 U/g for 27 h and a retrogradation process at 20 °C for 6 days. Obtained faba bean RS was also compared with RS obtained from conventional sources, beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L. Jamapa) and maize, under these optimal conditions. Beans (faba beans, 64.88%; beans, 64.84%) yielded greater RS-III than maize (58.44%). The retrogradation process increased the crystallinity structure of the RS samples compared to their respective NS. Typical legume C pattern (faba bean and beans) and cereal A pattern (maize) of samples changed to an irregular polymorphic morphology type B + V, caused by retrogradation, and increasing RS content. As consequence, the digestibility of the retrograded samples was significantly reduced (approximately 50%) and increasing the amount of slow digestible starch fraction (SDS).
