See full technique reference →Thermal denaturation of soy protein isolate at 70 °C for 10 min unfolds the protein, exposing hydrophobic groups that enhance solubility and emulsifying capacity by ~30 %. Fermentation of oat flour at 30 °C for 24 h produces lactic acid, lowering pH to 4.5 and increasing beta‑glucan digestibility. Heating pea protein to 80 °C for 5 min induces gelation, raising firmness by 15 %.
