Lentil () is a high-protein crop with a promising potential as a plant-based protein source for human nutrition. This study investigated nutritional and anti-nutritional properties of whole seed lentil flour (LF) compared to lentil protein isolates (LPIs) prepared in pilot-scale by isoelectric precipitation (LPI-IEP) and ultrafiltration (LPI-UF). Fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols (FODMAPs) profiles showed significant reductions in total galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) contents by 58% and 91% in LPI-IEP and LPI-UF, respectively, compared to LF. Trypsin inhibitor activity (TIA) levels based on dry protein mass were lowered by 81% in LPI-IEP and 87% in LPI-UF relative to LF. Depending on the stage of digestion, the protein digestibility (IVPD) of LPIs was improved by 35-53% compared to LF, with both products showing a similar long-term protein digestibility to that of bovine serum albumin (BSA). This work supports the use of purified LPI products as a novel source of high quality protein for food applications.
小扁豆是一种高蛋白作物,作为植物性蛋白质来源用于人类营养具有很大潜力。本研究调查了全籽小扁豆粉(LF)与通过等电沉淀法(LPI - IEP)和超滤法(LPI - UF)中试规模制备的小扁豆分离蛋白(LPI)相比的营养和抗营养特性。可发酵寡糖、双糖、单糖和多元醇(FODMAPs)谱显示,与LF相比,LPI - IEP和LPI - UF中的总低聚半乳糖(GOS)含量分别显著降低了58%和91%。基于干蛋白质质量的胰蛋白酶抑制剂活性(TIA)水平,LPI - IEP相对于LF降低了81%,LPI - UF降低了87%。根据消化阶段,与LF相比,LPI的体外蛋白质消化率(IVPD)提高了35 - 53%,两种产品的长期蛋白质消化率与牛血清白蛋白(BSA)相似。这项工作支持将纯化的LPI产品用作食品应用中优质蛋白质的新来源。
