Structural and Thermal Characterization of Protein Isolates from Australian Lupin Varieties as Affected by Processing Conditions

ABSTRACT: Proteins from the full and defatted flours of L. angustifolius cv Jurien and L. albus cv Murringo were prepared using alkaline extraction and iso-electric precipitation. Isolates were either freeze dried or spray dried or pasteurized at 75 ± 3 °C/5 min before freeze-drying. Various structural properties were investigated to elucidate the varietal and processing-induced effect on molecular and secondary structure. Irrespective of processing, isolated proteins had a similar molecular size, with α-conglutin (412 kDa) and β-conglutin (210 kDa) being principal fractions for the albus and angustifolius variety, respectively. Smaller peptide fragments were observed for the pasteurized and spray dried samples, indicating some degree of processing-induced changes. Furthermore, secondary structure c
