“…THE IMPORTANCE of lipid-protein interactions on protein functionality of foods has been extensively reviewed (Comwell and Horrocks, 1964;Karel, 1973Karel, , 1977. They are of fundamental importance in food processing and several characteristics of foods such as color, odor, stability and texture, are clearly affected by these interactions (Hoseney and Finney, 1971;Karel, 1973Karel, , 1977Schmidt et al, 1971;Bates, 1973, 1975). Areas (1985), in studying the effect of several solvents on lipid extraction, found that the amount of lipid extracted from offal isolates was hyperbolically related to the dielectric constant of the solvent used.…”
