Abstract
Proteins for foods, in addition to providing nutrition, should also possess specific functional properties that facilitate processing and serve as the basis of product performance. Functional properties of proteins for foods connote the physicochemical properties which govern the behavior of protein in foods. This general article collates the published information concerning the major functional properties of food proteins, e.g., solubility, binding properties, surfactant properties, viscogenic texturizing characteristics, etc. The effects of extraction and processing on functional properties and possible correlations between structure and function are discussed, in relation to practical performance in food systems. Modification of proteins to improve functional characteristics is briefly mentioned.Keywords
