Project description
This project aims to optimize the extraction of globulins and albumins from pea seeds, investigate the chemical composition and conformation of pea proteins (both commercially available & lab-extracted), and enhance their solubility and interfacial properties. It further investigates the functional properties and structure–function relationships of pea proteins, with the ultimate goal of evaluating their antioxidant potential in oil-in-water emulsions.
