Optimising Soy and Pea Protein Gelation to Obtain Hydrogels Intended as Precursors of Food-Grade Dried Porous Materials
TL;DR: In this paper , the effect of protein concentration, pH, and ionic strength on the gelation behavior of soy and pea protein isolates was studied, and the results were rationalised into a map identifying gelation conditions to modulate the rheological properties of hydrogels, for their subsequent conversion into xerogels, cryogels and aerogels.
