Abstract
Expanding the range of current protein ingredients can be achieved by exploring new sources, modifying existing proteins and using advanced fractionation and production technologies.
Once current and potential protein sources have been outlined, the seminar will look at the various modification options available to improve the techno-functional properties of these proteins. These modifications will include chemical, enzymatic and physical approaches. Particular attention will be paid to physical treatments, with emphasis on microfluidization. The impact of this high-dynamic-pressure technology on protein structure will be analyzed in greater detail, including surface properties and allergenicity.
