Mild thermal unfolding of pea protein enhances curcumin binding and interfacial properties of the resulting complexes
{{output}}
This study investigated how thermal treatment (80-100 °C) alters the structure of pea protein isolate (PPI) and affects curcumin encapsulation and the interfacial properties of PPI-curcumin complexes. Heating induced progressive tertiary loosening, as shown b... ...
