Techno-functional, antioxidant, and amino acid characterization of hydrolyzed bioactive peptides from coconut ( L.) meal protein.

In this study, the techno-functional characteristics and nutritional value of coconut meal protein (CMP) and the obtained polypeptides by alcalase (H-Alc), trypsin (H-Try), pancreatin (H-Pan), and pepsin (H-pep) were investigated. The degree of hydrolysis was influenced by the enzyme type, where an order of H-Pan (37.5%) > H-Alc (33.

Rice bran protein-based delivery systems as green carriers for bioactive compounds.

Natural protein-based delivery systems have received special interest over the last few years. Different carriers are already developed in the food industry to protect, encapsulate and deliver bioactive compounds. Rice bran protein (RBP) is currently used as a carrier in encapsulating bioactives due to its excellent functional properties, great natural value, low price, good biodegradability, and biocompatibility.
