Grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.) is probably the most drought tolerant legume crop and it is also resistant to moderate salinity. In drought prone areas the plant is considered an insurance crop for subsistence farmers. During drought-triggered famines, grass pea can be the only food available and a lifesaver. In addition, grass pea is valuable for its abundant nutrients, especially protein and ...

In this study, marine tunicate Styela clava hydrolysate was produced by an environment friendly and green technology, pressurized hot water hydrolysis (PHWH) at different temperatures (125–275 °C) and pressure 50 bar. A wide range of physico-chemical and bio-functional properties such as color, pH, protein content, total carbohydrate content, reducing sugar content, and radical scavenging activ...

BACKGROUND Phytoestrogens are a diverse group of non-steroidal plant compounds. Because they have chemical structures similar to estrogens they are able to bind on estrogen receptors in humans. OBJECTIVES In this study, we tested the effects of crude phytoestrogen extracts from rye (Secale cereale), green pea (Pisum sativum) and yellow pea seeds (Pisum sativum cv.) on cell proliferation and t...

Dried soy protein hydrolysate powder was added to the burger in order to enhance the oxidative stability as well as decreases the microbial spoilage. The soybean bioactive compounds (soy protein hydrolysate) as antioxidant and antimicrobial were added at level of 1, 2 and 3 %.Chemical analysis and physical properties were affected by protein hydrolysate addition. The TBA values were significant...

the objective of this study was to produce fish protein hydrolysate (fph) with the most antioxidant activity, by enzymatic hydrolysis from (carassius carassius). the protein of crucian carp a low value fish was hydrolyzed by alcalase 2.4l and the optimal hydrolysis parameters of strongest antioxidant capacity of peptides were obtained using response surface methodology (rsm) by the central rota...

Seventeen leguminous species common to the Pacific Northwest were evaluated as potential hosts of the pea cyst nematode, Heterodera goettingiana, in both greenhouse and field experiments. In all experiments, juveniles of H. goettingiana penetrated roots of these 17 species with the exception of greenhouse-grown chickpea. Nematodes molted and developed into swollen third-stage or fourth-stage ju...

Quinoa protein concentrate was hydrolyzed with alcalase to obtain a hydrolysate that was fractionated by ultrafiltration using 10000and 5000-molecular-weight cutoff membranes. Functional properties of the protein concentrate, protein hydrolysate, and membrane permeates were compared at different pH values. Protein solubility of the hydrolysate and membrane permeates were significantly higher (P...

Objective(s): Kidney disease is a global health problem that needs a solution to its therapy. In the previous study, we found that protein hydrolysate of green peas origin of Indonesia hydrolysed by bromelain (PHGPB) showed improve kidney function in cisplatin-induced nephropathy rats. In this study, we investigated the effect of PHGPB to obtain effective dose that exe...
