Brazilian researchers have demonstrated that partially defatted sunflower seed flour – a widely overlooked byproduct of industrial oil extraction – can be incorporated into bread formulations to significantly enhance protein content and antioxidant activity. Critically, an aqueous extract of the flour preserves the rheological properties associated with conventional wheat bread, offering a viable route for […]
A peer-reviewed study published in Future Foods has characterised proteins extracted from three rice milling fractions – brown rice, broken kernels and rice bran – derived from a single cultivar, and assessed their performance in plant-based cheese prototypes. The research establishes clear links between protein subunit composition, functional properties and cheesemaking outcomes, pointing to new […]
