Techno-Functional and Sensory Characterization of Commercial Plant Protein Powders.

ABSTRACT: Many new plant proteins are appearing on the market, but their properties are insufficiently characterized. Hence, we collected 24 commercial proteins from pea, oat, fava bean, chickpea, mung bean, potato, canola, soy, and wheat, including different batches, and assessed their techno-functional and sensory properties. Many powders had yellow, red, and brown color tones, but that of fava bean was the lightest. The native pH ranged from 6.0 to 7.7. The water solubility index was 28% on average, but after heat treatment the solubility typically increased. Soy isolate had by far the best water-holding capacity of 6.3 g (H₂O) g^-1, and canola had the highest oil-holding capacity of 2.8 g (oil) g^-1. The foaming capacity and stability results were highly varied but typical to the raw material. The emulsification properties of all powders were similar. Upon heating, the highest viscosity and storage modulus were found in potato, canola, and mung bean. All powders had raw material flavor, were bitter and astringent, and undissolved particles were perceived in the mouth. Large differences in functionality were found between the batches of one pea powder. In conclusion, we emphasize the need for methodological standardization, but while respecting the conditions found in end applications like meat and dairy analogs.

Project description:Bee pollens are potential functional food ingredients as they contain essential nutrients and a wide range of bioactive compounds. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of enrichment with monofloral bee pollens on the nutritional properties, techno-functional parameters, sensory profile, and consumer preference of biscuits. Biscuits were prepared according to the AACC-approved method by substituting wheat flour with pollens of rapeseed (Brassica napus L.), phacelia (Phacelia tanacetifolia Benth.) and sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) at 2%, 5% and 10% levels. The macronutrient composition of the biscuits was determined: crude protein content (Kjeldahl method), crude fat content (Soxhlet extraction), ash content (carbonization), moisture content (drying), carbohydrate content (formula). Their total phenolic content (TPC) and in vitro antioxidant capacity (FRAP, TEAC, DPPH) were determined spectrophotometrically. The colour of the biscuits was measured using a tristimulus-based instrument, and their texture was characterized by using a texture analyser. Sensory profile of biscuits was determined by qualitative descriptive analysis (QDA). The consumer acceptance and purchase intention of the biscuits were also evaluated, based on the responses of 100 consumers. Additionally, an external preference map was created to illustrate the relationship between consumer preference and the sensory profile of the biscuits, and penalty analysis was conducted to identify directions for product development. Phacelia pollen appeared to be the most effective for improving the nutritional quality of biscuits. The addition of phacelia pollen at the 10% substitution level increased the protein content and TPC of the control biscuit by 21% and 145%, respectively. Significant changes (p < 0.05) were also observed regarding the colour and texture of biscuits. The results of the QDA revealed that biscuits containing pollens of different botanical sources have heterogeneous sensory attributes. The biscuit containing sunflower pollen at the 2% substitution level was preferred the most (overall liking = 6.9 ± 1.6), and purchase intentions were also the highest for this product. Based on the results of the present study, it is recommended to use sunflower pollen for developing pollen-enriched foods in the future.

Project description:The current evaluation was conducted to investigate the chemical composition and functional properties of protein hydrolysates from different Satureja species. The major amino acids (mg/100 g protein) in the protein from different Satureja species were arginine (6.06-14.37), asparagine (1.39-17.06), glutamine (2.42-11.60), glutamic acid (6.34-9.32), beta-aminoisobutyric acid (3.31-10.29), alanine (4.64-9.59), aspartic acid (5.73-9.54), proline (4.25-8.14), leucine (3.63-5.69), serine (2.64-4.83), lysine (1.89-4.56), glycine (0.96-5.27), valine (2.76-4.83), and phenylalanine (2.86-3.75). Protein hydrolysates from Satureja species exhibited comparable antioxidant activity (IC50 = 0.270-0.328 mg/mL), anti-linoleic acid oxidation (IC50 = 0.231-0.301 mg/mL), anti-lecithin oxidation (IC50 = 0.198-0.258 mg/mL), anti-starch oxidation (IC50 = 0.201-0.277 mg/mL), anti-amylase activity (IC50 = 0.314-0.337 mg/mL), and anti-lipase activity (IC50 = 0.309-0.369 mg/mL). The physico-chemical properties of gelatin dispersion were electrical conductivity (1197 microsiemens/cm), osmolarity (190 milliosmol/kg), surface tension (45 mN/m), particle size (179 nm), zeta potential (-48 mV), and viscosity (4.92 mPa.s). Techno-functional characteristics of freeze-dried gelatin particles were as follows: water content (7.68%), water solubility (84.57%), water swelling (151.33%), hygroscopicity (38.20%), hydrophobicity (6.50 μg/g), emulsification activity (68.54%), emulsification stability (57.86%), foam expansion activity (56.08%), foam stability (41.84%), oil-holding capacity (1.96 g/g), and water-holding capacity (4.45 g/g). Protein hydrolysate causes minor changes in the physico-chemical and techno-functional properties of gelatin. The current investigation introduces Satureja protein hydrolysate as a possible functional and techno-functional ingredient for bioactive food products for treating diabetes and oxidative stress and as a natural preservative for the food industry.
