The goal of the study was to develop a biotechnological process for the production of protein concentrates via bioconversion of pea flour and whey, a secondary product of starch manufacture. Standard and special methods were used to analyze the chemical and biochemical composition of protein concentrates (amino acid, carbohydrate, and fractional) of flour, whey and protein concentrates. It was established that pea flour contains 52.28-57.05% water-soluble nitrogenous substances, 23.04-25.50% salt-soluble, 2.94-4.69% alcohol-soluble compounds, 0-0.61% of soluble glutenine, 6.67-10.40% alkali-soluble glutenine and 5.96-10.86% insoluble sclerotic substances. A mathematical model and optimal parameters of the enzymatic extraction of pea protein with a yield of 65-70% were developed. Ultrasonic exposure increased the yield of nitrogenous substances by 23.16 ± 0.69%, compared with the control without ultrasound. The protein concentrate had a mass fraction of nitrogenous substances of 72.48 ± 0.41% (Nx6.25) and a complete amino acid composition. The microbial conversion by the Saccharomyces cerevisiae 121 and Geotrichum candidum 977 cultures of starch whey which remained after protein precipitation allowed us to obtain feed concentrates from biomass and culture liquid with a protein mass fraction of 61.68-70.48% (Nx6.25). Protein concentrates positively affected the vital signs of rats and their excretory products. A technological scheme was developed to test the complex pea grain and starch whey processing under pilot conditions. pea, protein concentrate, extracts, whey, bioconversion, Geotrichum candidum, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, chemical composition, amino acid composition

The functional properties of protein isolate and major protein fractions prepared from Changbai Mountain pine nuts were investigated. Albumin, globulin, glutelin, and protein isolates were obtained after the Osborne method and alkaline dissolution and acid precipitation, and protein contents of the fractions are 48.02%, 81.93%, 83.02%, and 89.69%, respectively. For the sulfhydryl contents, albumin is the highest, and glutelin is the lowest. In a disulphide bond, the protein isolate content is the highest with a value of 28.74 μmol/g, and the glutelin content is the lowest with the value of 13.46 μmol/g. For the four kinds of proteins, the essential amino acids in percentage of total amino acids are 31.13%, 34.22%, 30.30%, and 34.54%, respectively. The pH dependent protein solubility profile reveals that the minimum solubility is at pH 5.0, which corresponds to the isoelectric point. Protein isolate has the minimum water absorption capacity with a value of 0.59 ml/g. On the other hand, albumin has the minimum oil absorption capacity with a value of 2.11 ml/g. The emulsifying activity and stability and the foaming activity and stability increased with increasing concentration of four kinds of proteins. SDS-PAGE results showed that these four kinds of proteins have different molecules.

Plant protein concentrates are used to enhance the nutritional quality of bread and to respond to the demand of consumers with respect to increased protein intake. In the present study, bread samples were produced using pea protein concentrate (PP) and soy protein concentrate (SP) substituting wheat flour by 5%, 10%, and 15%. The protein levels were between 1.2- and 1.7-fold (PP) and 1.1- and 1.3-fold (SP) higher than the control bread. The incorporation of 10% and 15% PP allowed for the achievement of a “high protein” claim. Water absorption was correlated with the protein contents of the breads (r = 0.9441). The decrease in bread volume was higher for the PP than SP incorporations, and it was highly negatively correlated with the protein content (r = −0.9356). Soy breads had a softer crumb than pea breads. The total change in crumb colour was higher in the PP than SP breads. The soy breads had an overall acceptability between 6.3 and 6.8, which did not differ (p > 0.05) from the control. PP breads were statistically less liked (p < 0.05). The results underlined that the choice of the type and amount of protein concentrates influenced the bread properties differently.

The initial inflammatory stages of the colic syndrome include changes known as acute phase response. The aim of this study was to contribute with the establishment of reference values concerning the electrophoretogram of peritoneal liquid from healthy horses and horses submitted to experimentally induced intestinal obstruction. Twenty-one horses were allotted in four groups: duodenal obstruction (DG), ileum obstruction (IG), left-dorsal colon obstruction (MG), and control group (CG). Peritoneal liquid was sampled before obtruction (T0), with 3 hours of obstruction (T3) and 6, 30, 102 and 174 hours after desobstructing (T6, T30, T102 and T174, respectively). Total protein levels were determined by the biuret method and protein fractions were obtained by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis. The acute phase proteins (APP) identified were Immunoglobulin-A, ceruloplasmin, transferrin, albumin, α1-antitrypsin, heavy and light chains of immunoglobulin-G, haptoglobin, α1-acid glycoprotein and a still unnamed protein, which was called P24. There was no difference (P>0.3) in protein levels among groups, although a significant difference (P>0.05) was observed between distinct experimental moments in each group evidencing a higher response of the APP in the obstructed groups. The APP fractioning of the peritoneal liquid was standardized to establish a standard curve for healthy equines and those submitted to induced intestinal obstruction. Moreover, it was verified that the SDS-PAGE electrophoresis was sensitive and effective to help diagnose abdominal inflammatory processes.

Abstract The article presents the research data on the use of high-protein extruded concentrates based on narrow-leaved lupine in the compound feed in combination with organic microelement complex OMEK-7 M (complex, microelement additive produced by CJSC “Bioamid”, Saratov) in order to replace soybean. The studies were carried out on a cattle farm in the settlement of Novgorodskoe, Guryevskii district, Kaliningrad region (Temp LLC). The object of the research were calves of black-and-wheat breed. It was found that due to the extrusion of lupine grain in combination with OMEC premix, a competitive, import-substituting soybean-based protein concentrate with a high degree of bioavailability of feed was obtained. It contains a sufficient protein content of 26% and a low fiber content of 4.05%, which is very important for calves in the dairy period.
