Abstract
The intake of plant-based proteins is rapidly growing around the world due to their nutritional and functional properties, as well as growing demand for vegetarian and vegan diets. Mung bean seeds have been traditionally consumed in Asian countries due to their unique botanical and health-promoting characteristics. In recent years, mung bean protein isolate (MBPI) has attracted much attention due to its ideal techno-functional features, such as water and oil absorption capacity, solubility, emulsifying, foaming, and thermal properties. Therefore, it can be utilized in a native or modified form in different food sectors, such as biodegradable/edible films, colloidal systems, and plant-based alternative products. This study provides a comprehensive review on the extraction methods, amino acid profile, structure, physicochemical properties, modifications, and food applications of MBPI.

Abstract
Dry-fractionated protein concentrates are gaining attention because they are produced using a versatile and sustainable technology, which can be applied to a wide range of plant material. To facilitate their utilization in new product development, it is crucial to obtain a comprehensive overview of their techno-functional properties. The present review aims to examine the techno-functional properties of dry-fractionated protein concentrates and describe their primary applications in food products, considering the published works in the last decade. The techno-functional properties of proteins, including water absorption capacity, emulsifying and foaming properties, gelling ability or protein solubility, are relevant factors to consider during food formulation. However, these properties are significantly influenced by the extraction technology, the type of protein and its characteristics. Overall, dry-fractionated proteins are characterized by high protein solubility, high foaming ability and foam stability, and high gelling ability. Such properties have been exploited in the development of food, such as bakery products and pasta, with the aim of increasing the protein content and enhancing the nutritional value. Additionally, innovative foods with distinctive textural and nutritional characteristics, such as meat and dairy analogues, have been developed by using dry-fractionated proteins. The results indicate that the study of these ingredients still needs to be improved, including their application with a broader range of plant materials. Nevertheless, this review could represent an initial step to obtaining an overview of the techno-functional properties of dry-fractionated proteins, facilitating their use in foods. © 2023 The Authors.

Structure and physical stability of plant-based food gel systems: Impact of protein (mung bean, pea, potato, soybean) and fat (coconut, sunflower). Heliyon 2023; 9:e18894. [PMID: 37662792 PMCID: PMC10474361 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e18894] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2023] [Revised: 07/26/2023] [Accepted: 08/02/2023] [Indexed: 09/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Despite their popularity, plant-based food gel systems (GS) sometimes have suboptimal texture compared to animal-based products. Therefore, 4 commercial plant proteins (from mung bean, pea, potato and soybean) and 2 commercial plant fats (sunflower oil and coconut fat) in 2 contents (7.5 wt% and 17.5 wt%) were evaluated towards their contribution to structure and physical stability a lean (LGS, no fat) and an emulsified GS (EGS). Generally, protein source had a larger effect on structure and physical stability than fat source and content. Unheated, GS with soybean protein showed most structure and highest physical stability. Heated till 94 °C, the structure of GS increased drastically, but EGS showed less structure than LGS, attributed to low solid fat contents (SFC), hence low rigidity, of the incorporated oil droplets at 94 °C. Cooled till 5 °C all GS showed an additional increase in structure, for GS with mung bean and pea protein accompanied with an increase in physical stability. Overall, EGS with sunflower oil showed less structure and lower stability than EGS with coconut fat, likely due to their different SFC. At 5 °C, Peak force of GS with potato protein was highest. Across protein sources, EGS displayed a higher Peak force with coconut fat than with sunflower oil, again likely due to different SFC, hence, rigidity of the oil droplets. Physical stability of GS did not vary significantly between protein sources, fat sources nor fat contents, after a freeze-thaw cycle, nor during prolonged cold storage.

Food Res Int 2023; 166:112623. [PMID: 36914358 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2023.112623] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2022] [Revised: 11/23/2022] [Accepted: 02/17/2023] [Indexed: 02/25/2023]
Abstract
Plant proteins can be extruded under high moisture content (above 40 %) to form meat-like fibrous structures, which is the basis for meat-like substitute products. However, the proteins' extrudability from various sources remain challenging in terms of generating fibrous structures under combinations of high-moisture extrusion with transglutaminase (TGase) modifications. In this study, proteins from soy (soy protein isolate, SPI, and soy protein concentrate, SPC), pea (pea protein isolate, PPI), peanut (peanut protein powder, PPP), wheat (wheat gluten, WG), and rice (rice protein isolate, RPI) were texturized using high-moisture extrusion combined with transglutaminase (TGase) modifications to enact changes in protein structure and extrusion capabilities. The results showed that soy proteins (SPI or SPC) responsed to torque, die pressure and temperature during extrusion, and this phenomenon was more pronounced at a higher protein content (SPI). In contrast, rice protein exhibited poor extrudability, leading to large losses of thermomechanical energy. TGase significantly affects the orientation of protein fibrous structures along the extrusion direction by impacting the rate of protein gelation during the high-moisture extrusion process, with the impact mainly occurring in the cooling die. Globulins (mainly 11S) played a major role in forming fibrous structures and the aggregation of globulins or reduction of gliadins under TGase modification impacted the orientation of the fibrous structure along the extrusion direction. Some thermomechanical treatment during high-moisture extrusion results in protein conversion from compact structure into more extended or stretched state, and the increase of random coil structures for proteins derived from wheat and rice would lead to these looser structures in the extrudates. Thus, TGase can be combined with high-moisture extrusion to regulate the formation of plant protein fibrous structures, dependent on the specific protein source and content.

Abstract
With the rising problems of food shortages, energy costs, and raw materials, the food industry must reduce its environmental impact. We present an overview of more resource-efficient processes to produce food ingredients, describing their environmental impact and the functional properties obtained. Extensive wet processing yields high purities but also has the highest environmental impact, mainly due to heating for protein precipitation and dehydration. Milder wet alternatives exclude, for example, low pH-driven separation and are based on salt precipitation or water only. Drying steps are omitted during dry fractionation using air classification or electrostatic separation. Benefits of milder methods are enhanced functional properties. Therefore, fractionation and formulation should be focused on the desired functionality instead of purity. Environmental impact is also strongly reduced by milder refining. Antinutritional factors and off-flavors remain challenges in more mildly produced ingredients. The benefits of less refining motivate the increasing trend toward mildly refined ingredients.

Abstract
The increasing world population requires the production of nutrient-rich foods. Protein is an essential macronutrient for healthy individuals. Interest in using plant proteins in foods has increased in recent years due to their sustainability and nutritional benefits. Dry and wet protein fractionation methods have been developed to increase protein yield, purity, and functional and nutritional qualities. This review explores the recent developments in pretreatments and fractionation processes used for producing pulse protein concentrates and isolates. Functionality differences between pulse proteins obtained from different fractionation methods and the use of fractionated pulse proteins in different food applications are also critically reviewed. Pretreatment methods improve the de-hulling efficiency of seeds prior to fractionation. Research on wet fractionation methods focuses on improving sustainability and functionality of proteins while studies on dry methods focus on increasing protein yield and purity. Hybrid methods produced fractionated proteins with higher yield and purity while also improving protein functionality and process sustainability. Dry and hybrid fractionated proteins have comparable or superior functionalities relative to wet fractionated proteins. Pulse protein ingredients are successfully incorporated into various food formulations with notable changes in their sensory properties. Future studies could focus on optimizing the fractionation process, improving protein concentrate palatability, and optimizing formulations using pulse proteins.
