The protein concentrates of Phaseolus lunatus were characterized physicochemically. The protein concentrate was obtained from an integral flour determining flour / water ratio, time, pH and temperature. For the determination of the chemical characteristics, the proximal analyzes were carried out: humidity, crude protein, total solids. Regarding the physical characteristics, color, odor and texture were evaluated, taking descriptive scales, using tests of preference with hedonic scales. Reaching a final product with more than 60% protein. The product contains 10% moisture and approximately 28% total solids. It presents a light color, pleasant smell and smooth homogeneous texture.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
