Abstract:In the current study chemical composition of luffa seeds was estimated. An addition, the luffa seed proteins were isolated and the functional properties of these proteins such as solubility, emulsifying properties and foaming properties were evaluated. The proximate composition of luffa seeds was as follows, dry matter 93.53%, crude protein 27.27%, crude fat 26.68%, total carbohydrate 31.25% and ash 8.33% (on dry basis). The pH effect on the solubility of luffa seed protein was presented. The solubility was de… Show more
