Résumé
The techno-functional properties of plant-based protein ingredients are critical for developing food formulations and greatly depend on the production method. The physicochemical and techno-functional properties, as well as the in vitro digestibility, of mung bean protein isolates (MBPIs) produced by isoelectric precipitation (IEP) and ultrafiltration-diafiltration (UFDF) were compared. Both MBPIs had comparable protein contents (∼84%) but the protein structure was slightly affected by isolation method, as MBPI-IEP exhibited lower surface hydrophobicity and slightly higher denaturation temperature. These differences were likely due to albumin proteins in MBPI-UFDF, absent in MBPI-IEP. Additionally, the MBPI-UFDF exhibited lower foam stability but higher gel firmness. Protein and peptide profiles after in vitro oral and gastric digestion were similar. Overall, proteolysis during intestinal digestion was more pronounced in MBPI-IEP. These findings highlight the importance of selecting the MBPI production process based on the desired food formulations, despite its low impact on in vitro digestibility.
