Physicochemical, structural, and functional characterization of guar meal protein isolate (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba).

ABSTRACT: Guar korma and churi protein isolates were assessed for their physicochemical, nutritional, functional, structural, and digestibility properties for their application in the food industry. The water extracted protein isolate of guar korma showed a protein content of 89.7 % and a yield of 48.7 %. Water extracted protein isolate of guar korma showed an excellent protein efficiency ratio, essential amino acid/total amino acids (34.35 %), amino acid score, and protein digestibility corrected amino acid score values, suggesting the existence of high-quality proteins. Water extracted protein isolate of guar korma contains all the essential amino acids except Methionine and Cysteine, according to World Health Organization recommendations for children and adults. The protein profiling of water ext
