Quinoa protein concentrate was hydrolyzed with alcalase to obtain a hydrolysate that was fractionated by ultrafiltration using 10000-and 5000-molecular-weight cutoff membranes. Functional properties of the protein concentrate, protein hydrolysate, and membrane permeates were compared at different pH values. Protein solubility of the hydrolysate and membrane permeates were significantly higher (P = 0.05) than that of the protein concentrate. The protein concentrate had a significantly higher (P = 0.05) emulsifying activity index than the protein hydrolysate and membrane permeates. Membrane fractionation of the protein hydrolysate into lower-molecularweight peptides significantly reduced (P = 0.05) foaming properties, but it improved radical scavenging activity and the ability to inhibit the activity of angiotensin-converting enzyme.
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.
