Effects of heat treatment under low moisture conditions on the protein and oil in soybean seeds

The effects of autoclave and microwave heating on the protein and oil in soybean seeds were investigated under low moisture conditions. The nitrogen solubility index (NSI) decreased on heating. The reduction in the NSI was accompanied by an increase in the size and deformation of the oil bodies in the cellular tissue of soybean seeds. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis revealed that lipoxygenase was susceptible to...
