Soaking and boiling can improve the digestibility of seeds by reducing anti-nutritional factors hard-to-cook phenomenon. The use pre-treated in protein fractionation is thus interest for development protein-rich ingredients. In this work, soaked soaked-boiled were applied prior to aqueous pigeon pea proteins. Pre-treatments impact particle size distribution flours, with leading aggregate formation (>1000 μm) due starch gelatinization. flour showed a lower lipid content, higher content...
Making use of neglected pulse crops is a way to promote biodiversity and combat malnutrition in emerging countries, as well strategy provide alternative resilient sources plant-based proteins. Pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan) native tropical subtropical regions, such Asia, India, South America. Despite its great nutritional potential, pigeon an underutilized crop, production restricted smallholder cultivators. exploration for food application means boost the cultivation valorization this addition...
Pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan) contains around 60% globulin proteins, of which 7S is the most abundant fraction. In this work, a purification protocol for pigeon was developed using large-scale chromatography. The process designed on an analytical scale through desalting crude protein extract followed by anion exchange chromatography and size exclusion Then, scaled up to large scale. purified fraction presented content 89 g/100 g powder yield close 23%. isolated showed two main subunits 64 49...
Bioactive compounds obtained from Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi extracts are traditionally employed in folk medicine for the treatment of diseases. The fruits and leaves this plant rich terpenes phenolic compounds, which gives it antimicrobial antioxidant activities. Even though pink pepper shares some sensory aspects traditional peppers, does not belong to same family, is why can be considered as a fake pepper. Recent advances food area showed that an interesting alternative applications...
Drying Pickering o/w emulsions has been considered as a promising strategy to produce oil microcapsules, long their quality parameters can be preserved over storage. In this sense, it is shown an interesting alternative preserve the of roasted coffee oil, valuable agroindustrial byproduct. Thus, freeze- and spray-dried chitosan-based were evaluated 30 days storage at 25 °C together with non-encapsulated control. Water sorption isotherms determined, whereas color, oxidative stability...
Microencapsulation can improve protection for compounds that degrade easily, such as β-carotene is present in large amounts buriti oil ( Mauritia flexuosa ). Encapsulating matrices are mainly composed of proteins and polysaccharides, which often combined to their performance a protective barrier. Beans, dark red kidney beans Phaseolus vulgaris ) mung Vigna radiata ), excellent protein sources contain significant the essential amino acids. Bean flours low fat naturally provide blend...
