Effect of Storage Temperature and Materials on Protein Quality and Functional Properties of Soybeans
Future Postharvest and Food, EarlyView.Hermetic PICS bags combined with cool storage (15°C) effectively preserved soybean protein quality and functional properties ([protein solubility, emulsifying capacity, and oil absorption capacity] of soybean protein isolates) during storage. Polypropylene bags and 25°C accelerated protein deterioration lead to significant nutritional losses.
