The global demand for animal proteins is predicted to increase twofold by 2050. This has led to growing environmental and health apprehensions, thereby prompting the appraisal of alternative protein sources. Oilseed meals present a promising alternative due to their abundance in global production and inherent dietary protein content. The alkaline extraction remains the preferred technique for protein extraction from oilseed meals in commercial processes. However, the combination of innovative techniques has proven to be more effective in the recovery and functional modification of oilseed meal proteins (OMPs), resulting in improved protein quality and reduced allergenicity and environmental hazards. This manuscript explores the extraction of valuable proteins from sustainable sources, specifically by-products from the oil processing industry, using emerging technologies. Chemical structure, nutritional value, and functional properties of the main OMPs are evaluated with a particular focus on their potential application as nanocarriers for bioactive compounds.

Yield, physicochemical properties and in vitro digestibility of starch isolated from defatted meal made from microwaved tigernut (Cyperus esculentus L.) tubers.

Int J Biol Macromol

December 2024

College of Food Science and Engineering, Henan University of Technology, Zhengzhou 450001, China; Institute of Special Oilseed Processing and Technology, Henan University of Technology, Zhengzhou 450001, China.

In this work, the effects of microwave treatment (MDT) of tigernut tubers at 540 W for 140, 180, 220, 240 s on the yield, physicochemical properties and in vitro digestibility of tigernut starch (TS) were firstly investigated. MDT significantly reduced the crystallinity and double helix structures of the starch, without altering its native A-type crystal structure. After microwaving for 140 s and 180 s, the extraction yield of TS was significantly increased from 14.

Factors influencing intentions to transition to plant-based protein diets: Canadian perspective.

Food Sci Nutr

November 2024

Eastern Canada Oilseeds Development Alliance (ECODA) Charlottetown Prince Edward Island Canada.

Article Synopsis
  • There is an increasing demand for healthy diets that meet both environmental and nutritional needs, leading to a rise in plant-based proteins as sustainable food alternatives.
  • A study analyzed Canadians' willingness to adopt plant-based diets through a national survey, revealing that various factors, including attitudes, sustainability concerns, and meat preferences, influenced their intentions.
  • Demographics such as gender and education positively correlated with the likelihood of choosing plant-based proteins, while living in rural areas or Atlantic Canada had a negative effect, highlighting the complexity of dietary shifts towards plant-based options.

In this study, Nile tilapia were fed a blend of oilseed meals (BOM) that includes cottonseed meal (CSM), linseed meal (LSM), sesame meal (SSM), and sunflower meal (SFM) at a ratio of 1 CSM: 1 LSM: 1 SSM: 1 SFM. Six diets were formulated where the first diet included FM and SBM as protein sources and considered the positive control diet (FM). Another five FM-free diets were formulated, where SBM was substituted with BOM and included at 0, 100, 200, 300, and 400 g/kg diet.

Global protein consumption is increasing exponentially, which requires efficient identification of potential, healthy, and simple protein sources to fulfil the demands. The existing sources of animal proteins are high in fat and low in fiber composition, which might cause serious health risks when consumed regularly. Moreover, protein production from animal sources can negatively affect the environment, as it often requires more energy and natural resources and contributes to greenhouse gas emissions.
