The proteins from Bambara groundnuts and their enzymatic modifications might
have capability to contribute in the development
of a new class of formulated foods, having both
functional properties and bioactivity. Therefore, this
study aimed to produce protein hydrolysates from
the Bambara groundnut proteins, with a range of
DHs from enzymatic hydrolysis by Alcalase, and to
characterize their functional properties (solubility,
thermal stability, foam and emulsion properties) and
antioxidant properties (ABTS and DPPH radical
scavenging, metal ion chelating and reducing power).
