Solubility of soy lipophilic proteins: comparison with other soy protein fractions.

Solubility of soy lipophilic proteins (LP) was studied as compared with that of other soy protein fractions. LP, β-conglycinin, glycinin, and soy protein isolate (N-SPI) were prepared under the condition to avoid heat denaturation. Solubility of LP was lower than that of other soy protein fractions under all the tested conditions varying in pH values and ionic strength.
