Processing of plant proteins for improved functionality and nutrition
FY 2019-20 · 2020-03-25
Summary
The project will examine the impact of solid state and submerged fermentation, and enzymatic modification on the functional and nutritional properties of commercial pulse (e.g., yellow pea, faba bean and lentil) protein concentrates or isolates. Fermentation of pulse fractions will be done using traditional GRAS strains, Aspergillus niger, A. oryzae, and Lactobacillus plantarum, under different fermentation conditions (pH, temperature and time) to obtain different levels of hydrolysis (5, 10, 15 and 20%). Similarly, proteases (Trypsin and Savinase) will be added to modify protein isolates under different conditions (enzyme: substrate ratios, temperatures, pH and times) to obtain similar levels of hydrolysis. Changes to the protein’s surface properties will be measured, along with their functionality (e.g., solubility, emulsifying, water/oil holding and foaming). Changes to levels of anti-nutritional compounds and protein quality (PDCAAS and digestibility) will also be examined as the result of processing.

Description (French)
Le projet examinera l'impact de la fermentation à l'état solide et submergée, et de la modification enzymatique sur les propriétés fonctionnelles et nutritionnelles des concentrés ou isolats de protéines de légumineuses commerciales (p. Ex. Pois jaunes, féverole et lentilles). La fermentation des fractions de légumineuses se fera à l'aide de souches traditionnelles de GRAS, Aspergillus niger, A. oryzae et Lactobacillus plantarum, dans différentes conditions de fermentation (pH, température et temps) pour obtenir différents niveaux d'hydrolyse (5, 10, 15 et 20%) . De même, des protéases (trypsine et savinase) seront ajoutées pour modifier les isolats de protéines dans différentes conditions (rapports enzyme: substrat, températures, pH et temps) pour obtenir des niveaux d'hydrolyse similaires. Les modifications des propriétés de surface de la protéine seront mesurées, ainsi que leur fonctionnalité (par exemple, solubilité, émulsification, rétention eau / huile et moussage). Les modifications des niveaux de composés antinutritionnels et de la qualité des protéines (PDCAAS et digestibilité) seront également examinées à la suite du traitement.
Expected Results
In the short term, anticipated outcomes will be strengthened collaborations across industry, academia, and government to support research excellence. In the medium term, anticipated outcomes will be the development of new and potentially disruptive technologies with collaborators. In the long term, find collaborative solutions to public policy challenges and create stronger innovation systems.
Expected Results (French)
À court terme, les résultats prévus seront des collaborations renforcées entre l'industrie, le milieu universitaire et le gouvernement pour soutenir l'excellence en recherche. À moyen terme, les résultats attendus seront le développement de nouvelles technologies potentiellement perturbatrices avec des collaborateurs. À long terme, trouver des solutions collaboratives aux défis des politiques publiques et créer des systèmes d'innovation plus solides.
