Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Malini Buvaneswaran"

  • - Malini Buvaneswaran's recent research focuses on the functional properties of grass pea (Lathyrus sativus) flour, specifically examining the effects of dehulling and germination on its nutritional profile and functional characteristics.
  • - The study found that germination enhanced the protein content and bioactive properties of grass pea flour while decreasing total carbohydrates and fats, indicating a beneficial transformation during this process.
  • - In contrast, dehulling was shown to increase fat content and improve foaming and emulsion properties, suggesting that both dehulling and germination can optimize flour functionalities for potential food applications.
