Characteristics of albumin and globulin from coconut meat and their role in emulsion stability without and with proteolysis

Albumin and globulin were fractionated from defatted coconut meat. Characteristics and emulsifying properties of these protein fractions were comparatively studied. Both fractions had protein with MW of 55 kDa as predominant and glutamine/glutamic acid were the major amino acids. However, differences in the protein pattern and amino acid composition were observed between two fractions. Higher average hydrophobicity was found in globulin...
