Yield and in vitro nutritional quality of some leguminous seed protein isolates

Plant Foods Hum Nutr. 1991 Jul;41(3):247-51. doi: 10.1007/BF02196393.

Abstract

Seed protein concentrates (SPC) were extracted from 4 leguminous species and the extractabilities of total N (nitrogen), protein N and SPC determined. In addition, composition, calorie value and in vitro enzymatic digestibility of these SPCs was analysed. Results indicate the promising nutritional potential of these SPCs.
