Effects of Microwave Treatment on Structure, Functional Properties and Antioxidant Activities of Germinated Tartary Buckwheat Protein.

ABSTRACT: Tartary buckwheat protein (TBP) has promise as a potential source of novel natural nutrient plant protein ingredients. The modulating effects of microwave pretreatment at varying powers and times on the structure, functional properties, and antioxidant activities of germinated TBP were investigated. Compared with native germinated TBP, after microwave pretreatment, the content of free sulfhydryl groups in the germinated TBP increased, and the secondary structure changes showed a significant decrease in α-helix and an increase in random coil contents, and the intensity of the ultraviolet absorption peak increased (p < 0.05). In addition, microwave pretreatment significantly improved the solubility (24.37%), water-holding capacity (38.95%), emulsifying activity index (17.21%), emul
