Abstract
Protein co-precipitation overcomes the limitations of individual proteins and improves their nutritional profile and functional properties. This study examined the impact of co-precipitation and high-pressure (HP) treatment on millet-moringa protein co-precipitate structure and functional properties. The co-precipitation has significantly (p < 0.05) improved the water holding (4.17 ± 0.02 g/g), oil holding (7.49 ± 0.16 g/g) capacity, and emulsifying stability index (60.72 ± 2.00 %). The increase in zeta potential and decrease in particle size were observed in co-precipitated samples, which explains their high solubility. Circular dichroism (CD) spectra results depict a change in the secondary structure of protein during the co-precipitation and HP treatment. The co-precipitation and HP treatment have significantly increased the invitro protein digestibility of millet and moringa leaf protein isolates. According to the findings, co-precipitation and HP treatment could be an effective method for enhancing the functional properties of millet and moringa protein.
