Plant protein flavor chemistry fundamentals and techniques to mitigate undesirable flavors [PDF]
Sustainable Food Proteins, Volume 2, Issue 1, Page 33-57, March 2024.Flavor constituents of plant protein and subsequent mitigation producing reduced flavored protein. Abstract Many plant protein ingredients have unpleasant flavor (e.g., green, beany, bitterness) characteristics. Isolation of the protein fraction will reduce the intensity of the undesirable flavors but in most cases the flavor issue is not eliminated ...
