Article Synopsis
- This project explored how lentil protein (LP) and quinoa protein (QP), in both their natural and modified forms, can be used effectively as carrier materials for encapsulating annatto seed extract through ionic gelation.
- Various modifications, like enzymatic hydrolysis and N-cationization, aimed to enhance the proteins' encapsulation capabilities while assessing properties such as solubility and gelation temperature.
- Results showed that while native LP had better encapsulation efficiency compared to QP, certain modifications improved some functional properties but reduced gel formation and had minimal impact on overall encapsulation efficiency.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the antioxidant properties of goldenberry and purple passion fruit, highlighting their potential to prevent chronic diseases due to their rich bioactive compounds.
- The researchers categorized the fruits by maturity stages, analyzed their compounds, and utilized experimental design to optimize their antioxidant activity.
- Findings indicated that maturity stage 3 for both fruits exhibited higher polyphenol content and antioxidant activity, with a recommended blend ratio of 83% goldenberry and 17% purple passion fruit for maximum benefit.
Sonicated protein isolates were recovered from and to develop a functional matrix by assessing the physicochemical and functional properties. The plant protein isolates were prepared from powdered materials followed by sonication in alkaline medium using a Box-Behnken design. pH (6-10), a buffer-to-material ratio (5:1 to 15:1) and sonication time (0-20 min) were taken as independent variables, whereas protein yield was taken as the dependent variable.
