Canola Protein Functionality in Food Systems

By Florence Ojiugo Uruakpa

Canola Proteins and its Functionality in Food Systems investigates the molecular interactions involved in gelation and emulsification of CPI-hydrocolloid systems.

Oilseed proteins contribute useful functionality to food systems. Knowledge of the molecular interactions between plant proteins such as commercial canola protein isolate (CPI) and other components allows the manipulation of physical and textural properties of mixed biopolymers by adjusting macromolecular interactions.

Protein-polysaccharide interactions give a realistic indication of plant proteins behavior in food systems and provides useful information for the development of canola protein products. This book provides the details of functional and physiochemical properties of CPI-hydrocolloids, the type and degree of their interactions, and optimum conditions for gelation and emulsification.
