Effects of combined microwave and enzymatic treatments on the hydrolysis and immunoreactivity of dairy whey proteins
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of high pressure (HP) treatment on the hydrolysis of dairy whey proteins by trypsin, chymotrypsin and pepsin was analysed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pseudocereal grains: Nutritional value, health benefits and current applications for the development of gluten-free foods
TL;DR: Based on the accumulating research supporting the inclusion of pseudocereals grains in the diet of celiac persons, this review discusses the recent advances in their application for the development of new GF products.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-pressure improves enzymatic proteolysis and the release of peptides with angiotensin I converting enzyme inhibitory and antioxidant activities from lentil proteins.
TL;DR: Results support the potential of HP as a technology for the cost-effective production of bioactive peptides from lentil proteins during enzymatic proteolysis and support the idea that ACE-inhibitory and antioxidant activities are retained upon in vitro gastrointestinal digestion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rocio I. Limón,Elena Peñas,M. Inés Torino,Cristina Martínez-Villaluenga,Montserrat Dueñas,Juana Frias +5 more
TL;DR: Investigation of the influence of solid and liquid state fermentation for 48 and 96 h on the production of water soluble extracts from kidney beans showed high soluble phenolic compound content and antioxidant activity, which could encourage their utilisation in the formulation of added-value functional foods.
Journal ArticleDOI
