A Rational Approach for the Production of Highly Soluble and Functional Sunflower Protein Hydrolysates.

ABSTRACT: Exploitation of plant proteins as an alternative to animal proteins currently presents an important challenge for food industries. In this contribution, total sunflower protein isolate from cold press meal was used as a starting material for the generation of highly soluble and functional hydrolysates that could be used in various food formulations. To do this, a rational and complete approach of controlled hydrolysis was implemented using the individual Alcalase and Prolyve enzymes. The method of stopping the hydrolysis reaction was also evaluated. The influence of operating conditions on hydrolysis kinetics and enzymatic mechanism was studied to identify the appropriate hydrolysis conditions. The gain of the solubility was then analyzed and compared to that of the initial proteins. Final
