Surface characteristics and functional attributes of protein isolates prepared from different pea cultivars using isoelectric precipitation were investigated. Protein levels of isolates ranged from 81-89% with isoelectric points occurring between pH 4.7-4.9. Surface hydrophobicity values differed among cultivars with CDC Dundurn and CDC Striker isolates having the lowest and highest values, respectively. Protein solubility values at pH 7.0 varied with MFR042 and CDC Dundurn isolates displaying the lowest (approximately 54%) and highest (approximately 76%) values, respectively. No significant (p>0.05) differences existed between cultivar isolates for water hydration and oil holding capacity values. Cooper and CDC Dundurn isolates had significantly (p<0.05) lower emulsifying activity indices (EAI) (approximately 31-33 m 2 /g) than the other cultivars. Emulsifying stability index values were all similar. EAI values were positively correlated with surface hydrophobicity values and negatively correlated with solubility values. Varietal differences for the functional attributes of solubility and emulsification were identified.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
