Popis: Functional properties were investigated on chickpea proteins acetylated at 6 and 49% of the -amino groups of lysine. In water and in 0.25M NaCl solutions, acetylated chickpea proteins (ACP) were more soluble at high pH (pH>8), but less soluble at low pH (pH 2-7), than native chickpea protein (NCP). The solubility of ACP and NCP was reduced in 0.25-0.75M CaCl 2 solutions. Acetylation increased the water and oil absorption capacity of ACP. ACP also had higher emulsion capacity than that of NCP, but acetylation made emulsions of chickpea protein dispersions less stable.
