Solubility and Functional Properties of Kleinhovia hospita Linn. Seed Protein Isolate
Abstract
AbstractNitrogen solubility, protein content and functional properties of Kleinhovia hospita Linn. seed protein isolate were investigated. Maximum solubility of total protein isolate (TPI) was 94.11 % (± 0.37) at pH 12 where as minimum solubility was 55.15 % (± 0.08) at pH 4. Physico-chemical properties of seed protein isolate were also investigated. The emulsifying capacity, emulsion stability, foaming capacity and foaming stability were greatly affected by pH levels. The...
