Lentil proteins (LPs) may encounter challenges in their food industry applications due to certain limitations in their functional properties. This study focused on enhancing the quality of LPs through physical modifications and investigating the effects of a 24-hr fermentation process with . The protein structures of LPs were analysed using several techniques, including ultraviolet spectra, fluorescence spectra, and FT-IR spectra, respectively, resulting in the protein structure of LPs substantial modifications ( 0.05) during the fermentation procedure. protein surface properties of fermented LPs, including surface charge and surface hydrophobicity, changed significantly ( 0.05) from -23.03 to -32.70 mV and 860.30 to 600.6 a.u., respectively. Using by fermentation processes can offer several benefits, particularly in enhancing the digestibility, protein structure, and nutritional values of LPs.

Aluminium toxicity and phosphorus deficiency are co-existing characteristics of low pH stress that significantly affect the grain yield of crops. The increasing acidity of Indian soils potentially limits the cultivable area for lentil (Lens culinaris), the third most widely consumed pulse. Breeding for tolerance requires an understanding of interdependent biological responses, but the molecular characterization of integrated tolerance remains elusive.

The transition to a more plant-based diet embraces a higher consumption of diversified pulses. Understanding the chemical composition of pulses is crucial to decipher their biofunctionality. This study analyzed 14 different cultivars of 4 types of pulses (pea, lentil, faba bean, and lupin) using NMR-based metabolomics.

There is a growing consumer interest in sources of dietary protein that are plant-based. Pulse crops, such as lentils, beans, chickpeas, and peas, are gaining popularity due to their environmental sustainability, nutrient density, and functional attributes. The protein content and quality of pulses vary across different pulse classes and processing methods.

Legumes consumption is still low in Western countries, and their incorporation into bakery products could be a solution. However, a minimally processed legume-based product is still a challenge because of its negative impact on acceptance by consumers. Here, an oven-baked chip recipe, based on lentil flour, was fortified with 5% hazelnut skin (HS), a byproduct of hazelnut industrial processing, to improve the nutritional, antioxidant, and sensory features of this innovative food.
