Dry fractionation is a promising technology for producing plant protein ingredients, owing to its minimal environmental impact and adaptability to diverse plant sources. Dry-fractionated proteins are still under development with limited applications in food industry due to lack of extensive knowledge about their physicochemical, rheological and chemical properties. Wet extraction though widely used, consumes high energy, water, and chemicals.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFDry-fractionated protein concentrates are gaining attention because they are produced using a versatile and sustainable technology, which can be applied to a wide range of plant material. To facilitate their utilization in new product development, it is crucial to obtain a comprehensive overview of their techno-functional properties. The present review aims to examine the techno-functional properties of dry-fractionated protein concentrates and describe their primary applications in food products, considering the published works in the last decade.
