Sea cucumbers are a good source of proteins and essential amino acids. In this study, protein isolates were recovered from North Atlantic sea cucumber (Cucumaria frondosa) body wall (BWI) and processing by-products, including flower (FLI) and internal organs (INI), using the pH-shift method....

The study aimed to obtain the protein concentrate, isolated protein and defatted after extraction, isolation, purification and concentration of cress seeds(Lepidium sativum L.), and study these products to know the chemical composition and functional properties. It was noted that the highest...

The texture of surimi-like gels made from the protein isolate extracted from catfish byproducts has been proven to be brittle and lack elasticity. To address this issue, varying levels of microbial transglutaminase (MTGase) from 0.1 to 0.6 units/g were applied. MTGase had little effect on the color ...

Nonconventional protein isolates were prepared from defatted oilseeds (sesame, flaxseed, and canola). Bioevaluation was performed via growth study parameters i.e., protein efficiency ratio (PER), net protein ratio (NPR), and relative net protein ratio (RNPR). The highest values for these parameters ...

Background and objectives: Phenolic compounds are known to form complexes with proteins which cause changes in the structural, functional, and nutritional properties of both compounds. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of removing soluble phenolic compounds from whole bean and...

Whey protein isolate coated astaxanthin-loaded liposomes were prepared in this work. The gastrointestinal digestive fate of whey protein isolate coated astaxanthin-loaded liposomes was evaluated in terms of particle size, size distribution, zeta potential, and morphology during in vitro digestion...

In order to explore the effects of different kinds of starches on protein properties, soybean protein isolate is used as the raw material, and eight kinds of starches, including rice starch, glutinous rice starch, wheat starch, corn starch, mung bean starch, pea starch, potato starch and tapioca...

Background and objectives: Proteins are sensitive to environmental stresses, which limits their nutritional applications. Millard reaction leads to increase in the functional and biological properties of proteins. Whey protein isolate has a wide range of applications in the food industry, but is...

This study examined the effect of African walnut protein isolate, wheat and yellow maize flours on the general acceptability of cookie production. In this study, blends of African walnut protein isolate, wheat and yellow maize flours were studied in a completely randomized design assessment of the...

Lupin Protein Isolates (L) are considered as promising ingredients. The effects of different solvent extractions of un-defatted (L-U), hot (L-HD) and cold (L-CD) lupin flour on the physicochemical, functional and structural parameters were determined. Hot defatting increased the protein yield and...
