Structure, trypsin inhibitor activity and functional properties of germinated soybean protein isolate

Summary The objective of this research was to investigate the effects of germination on functional and conformational properties as well as the in vitro trypsin digestibility of soy protein isolate ( SPI ). The influences of germination on the molecular properties of SPI were also evaluated. The germination degraded lipoxygenase, α, α' subunits of β‐conglycinin (7S) and acidic chains of glycinin (11S) of soybean. Concomitantly, the loss of...
