New in INFORM magazine: Making Pea Protein More Palatable

Residual lipids in extracted plant proteins can oxidize and generate undesirable flavors, leading to consumer dissatisfaction with plant-based products.

Researchers at the University of Minnesota investigated how fatty acid composition drives the formation of oxylipins and volatile compounds during pea protein extraction and isolation. Their findings show that lipid oxidation during extraction has a significant impact on the sensory quality of pea protein.
