Directing oat groat heat treatment conditions towards increased protein extractability.

ABSTRACT: Oat-based liquid and semi-solid dairy alternatives require extractable proteins for nutritional and technological purposes. However, oats are industrially heat treated ('kilned') to inactivate endogenous lipases thereby avoiding rancidity development. Such heat treatment results in a protein extractability decrease. We here investigated the possibility of directing oat groat heat treatment conditions [oat groat moisture content (13.0-20.0%), heating temperature (80-100 °C) and heating time (15-45 min)] on a lab-scale to achieve complete enzyme inactivation, with peroxidase activity as a marker, while maintaining high protein extractability. Non-heat-treated and industrially heat-treated oats were included as reference samples. The peroxidase activity and protein extractability of lab-scale
