This study aimed to understand the impact of ultrasonication (24 kHz) at a fixed power (100 W) and duration (5–60 min) on physicochemical, structural, thermal properties faba bean protein isolates. Ultrasound-relevant parameters such as acoustic density, intensity, yield conversion were estimated. The average purity (∼85% protein) (up 22 %) ultrasound-assisted isolate higher than those control isolate. Compared original flour, had significantly lower levels vicine convicine. Electrophoresis...

Environmental concerns linked to animal-based protein production have intensified interest in sustainable alternatives, with a focus on underutilized plant proteins. Faba beans, primarily used for animal feed, offer high-quality source promising bioactive compounds food applications. This study explores the efficacy of ultrasound-assisted extraction under optimal conditions (123 W power, 1:15 g/mL solute/solvent ratio, 41 min sonication, 623 mL total volume) isolate faba bean (U-FBPI). The...

Fast growing food processing industries generate large quantities of by-products including pomaces which have less use and create considerable environmental pollution. These can be directly or indirectly used in the development new products. In this study, rock buns formulated at 95:5:0; 90:5:5; 85:10:5 80:15:5% for wheat flour: carrot pomace: pineapple pomace 100:0:0% control respectively were investigated their nutrient composition sensory quality. Nutrient showed high crude fibre content...

Faba bean seeds have been traditionally used as a source of animal feed and minimally in food systems. However, it is an excellent high-quality proteins other bioactive compounds. Extraction using conventional extraction requires long processing time with lower yield protein purity. Here, optimized ultrasound-assisted parameters were adopted compared the process. Under optimum conditions Power (123 W), solute/solvent ratio (0.06) (1:15 g/mL), sonication (41 min), total volume (623 mL)),...

One of the most crucial attributes emulsions is their particle size, which has implication on stability, rheology as well sensory properties in different food applications. Homogenization speed an important parameter that disrupts fat globules into desirable sizes. The effect emulsification composition and homogenization parameters size distribution palm stearin oil-in-water emulsion was investigated. A homogenized at (10k-25k rpm) When increased above >10k rpm, decreased. Increasing...
