Pea and lupin protein ingredients: New insights into endogenous lipids and the key effect of high-pressure homogenization on their aqueous suspensions
Abstract
The incorporation of plant protein ingredients in foods is a means to promote the transition to vegetable proteins.
Pea and lupin meet sustainability demands and their protein ingredients display promising technological
properties, yet sometimes poor functionalities. However, the involved mechanisms are still unclear, partly
because comprehensive and systematic characterization of those ingredients in terms of composition and
physicochemical properties is still lacking. In this work, commercial protein fractions of pea and lupin (one
isolate and one concentrate for each) were thoroughly characterized. A high-pressure homogenization (HPH)
treatment was applied to their aqueous suspensions (pH 7.0) to improve their dispersibility. Although isolates
displayed a higher protein content (up to 72 g/100 g (d.m.) against 39 g/100 g (d.m.) for the concentrates, with
respective specific N factors), their solubility (i.e., the proteins remaining in the supernatant after centrifugation)
was lower than for the concentrates (15–49 wt% of the total proteins, against 65 wt%). Substantial amounts of
endogenous lipids in the powders were measured after chloroform/methanol extraction (3.4–10.3 g/100 g (d.
m.)), of which about half were phospholipids. For all ingredients, detailed microscopic investigations (including
confocal fluorescence microscopy), and light scattering measurements showed that HPH was useful to break
down large powder grains. Thus, it altered the colloidal structures present, released endogenous lipid assemblies
and enhanced protein solubility. Those new insights into the non-protein composition of plant protein fractions
and their behaviour in aqueous media are key for improving their functionalities and facilitating food products’
rational formulation.
