Pulse Proteins: Food Product Formulation

Bol

Pulse Proteins: Food Product Formulation follows the complete lifecycle of pulse proteins in the food industry, from botanical sources through state‑of‑the‑art extraction and isolation, targeted modification and rigorous characterisation, to their diverse food applications. Pulse proteins are reshaping the future of food. Once regarded simply as macronutrients, they are now recognised as dynamic components that define flavour, texture, functionality and nutritional value. Pulse Proteins: Food Product Formulation follows the complete lifecycle of pulse proteins in the food industry, from botanical sources through state‑of‑the‑art extraction and isolation, targeted modification and rigorous characterisation, to their diverse food applications. It showcases techniques and sustainable practices used to obtain pure, high‑quality pulse protein fractions and examines the real‑world processing hurdles and innovation opportunities inherent in deploying pulses as credible alternatives to animal proteins. This book offers a comprehensive survey of major and emerging pulses, detailing their nutritional composition, bioactive compounds, nutraceutical potential and global production landscapes. It integrates advances in extraction, modification and functionality with insights into bioactivity and formulation, linking molecular properties to sensory performance and stability in finished products. For food scientists, researchers, product developers and sustainability leaders, this book provides the evidence base, technical depth and practical guidance needed to accelerate pulse‑based innovation and deliver better, more sustainable foods. .
