“…Most of plant protein isolates contain denatured proteins, due to the commonly applied industrial processes (Joshi et al ., ; Liu et al ., ,b), which lead to the traditional enzymolysis has many drawbacks such as low conversion rate of the substrate, longer reaction time and high energy consumption (Qu et al ., ). Thus, some pretreatment technologies as ultrasound (Jia et al ., ; Qu et al ., ; Uluko et al ., ; Jin et al ., ,b), high hydrostatic pressure (Quirós et al ., ; Zhang et al ., ), heat treatment (Zhang et al ., ), microwave (Izquierdo et al ., ), extrusion (Wang et al ., ) and pulsed electric field (Toepfl et al ., ) have been used to enhance the hydrolysis of proteins.…”
