Protein rich meal is a valuable co-product of canola/rapeseed oil extraction.Seed storage proteins that include cruciferin (11S) and napin (2S) dominate the protein complement canola while oleosins, lipid transfer other minor non-storage nature are also found.Although oil-free contains 36-40% on dry weight basis, non-protein components including fibre, polymeric phenolics, phytates sinapine, etc. seed coat cellular make less suitable for food use.Separation from technical challenge but...
BACKGROUND: Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) seeds are a good source of protein that has potential applications in new product formulation and fortification. The main objectives this study were to analyse the physicochemical, thermal functional properties chickpea isolates (CPIs) compare them with those soy (SPI) pea (PPI) isolates. RESULTS: Extracted CPIs had mean contents 728–853 g kg−1 (dry weight basis). Analysis their deconvoluted Fourier transform infrared spectra gave secondary structure...
The two major storage proteins identified in Brassica napus (canola) were isolated and studied for their molecular composition, structural characteristics the responses of features to changes pH temperature. Cruciferin, a complex six monomers, has predominantly β-sheet-containing secondary structure. This protein showed low unstable tertiary structure, distinctly different solubility behaviour with when intact seed cellular matrix. Cruciferin structure unfolds at 3 even ambient...
At present, canola meal is primarily streamlined into the animal feed market where it a competitive source owing to its high protein value. Beyond lies potential game-changer with regards value of meal, and opportunity as quality food source. An economic sustainable bioavailability digestibility essential human health well-being. Population pressures, ecological considerations, production efficiency underscore importance highly bioavailable plant proteins, both for developed developing...
Abstract A study was conducted to determine bioactivities of flaxseed ( Linum usitatissimum L.; variety: Valour) proteins and their hydrolysates. Isolated were treated with Flavourzyme ® at different levels enzyme substrate ratio (E/S) hydrolysis time. The unhydrolysed hydrolysates studied for angiotensin I‐converting inhibiting (ACEI) activity, hydroxyl radical (OH·) scavenging activity bile acid binding ability. catalysed generated a 11.94–70.62% degree (DH). (0.67 mg/ml) had strong ACEI...
Abstract Seeds of six commercially produced Brassica juncea , napus and Sinapis alba varieties representing high‐glucosinolate condiment‐type low‐glucosinolate canola‐type were studied for solubility characteristics the predominant seed storage proteins (SSPs). The non‐protein nitrogen components such as glucosinolates, nucleic acids, betaine, choline sinapine contributed 3.1–5.2% 7.9–10.8% total N content low‐ meals, respectively. cruciferin napin which are SSPs crucifers purified from...
Flaxseed (FS), a dietary oilseed, contains variety of anti-inflammatory bioactives, including fermentable fiber, phenolic compounds (lignans), and the n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) α-linolenic acid. The objective this study was to determine effects FS its PUFA-rich kernel or lignan- soluble fiber-rich hull on colitis severity in mouse model acute colonic inflammation. C57BL/6 male mice were fed basal diet (negative control) supplemented with 10% FS, 6% kernel, 4% for 3 wk prior...
The scope of this study was to determine the ability flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) proteins release angiotensin I-converting enzyme inhibitory (ACEI) peptides during simulated gastrointestinal (GI) digestion using a static (SM; no absorption in intestinal phase) and dynamic model (DM; simultaneous digested products phase via passive diffusion). Gastric gastric + small digests both models possessed ACEI activity. activity digest DM (IC(50) unabsorbed, 0.05 mg N/mL; IC(50) absorbed, 0.04...
Abstract Indigenous and traditional foods of Sri Lanka inherit a long history unique traditions continued from several thousands years. Lankan food tradition is strongly inter-wound with the nutritional, health-related, therapeutic reasoning ingredients methods preparation. The diverse culinary preparations reflect multipurpose objectives combining in-depth knowledge flora fauna in relation to human well-being health benefits. Trans-generational dissemination related indigenous now limited...
Abstract For determining trypsin inhibitor activity (TIA) in soy products, the American Oil Chemists' Society (AOCS) Method Ba 12‐75 has been used. It measures differences absorbance at 410 nm of bovine toward a synthetic substrate ( Nα ‐benzoyl‐DL‐arginine‐ p ‐nitroanilide) absence and presence an inhibitor. Recently, significantly improved method was developed (JAOCS, 2019, 96:635–645), featuring 5 mL total assay volume, enzyme‐last sequence, single level duplicate. is proposed as AOCS...
Synchrotron radiation (SR) provides a wide spectrum of bright light that can be tailored to test myriad research questions. SR avenues illuminate structure and composition across scales, making it ideally suited the study plants seeds. Here, we present an array methodologies data outputs available at source facility. Datasets feature seed grain from range crop species including Citrullus sp. (watermelon), Brassica (canola), Pisum sativum (pea), Triticum durum (wheat), demonstrate power for...
ABSTRACT The dominance of pulses in plant‐based protein foods necessitates an investigation into their organoleptic properties. Taste, aroma, flavor, and trigeminal attribute intensities purees obtained from pressure‐cooked black bean, chickpea, faba green lentil, pinto yellow pea were assessed using a trained panel. panelists rated the interval scale with not perceptible very intense as anchors. pulse‐like was consistently highly across all pulse purees. black, pinto, bean mostly exhibited...
