The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of lactic acid bacteria fermentation and enzymatic hydrolysis on the functional properties of proteins isolated from quinoa and hemp seeds. The aim of summer scientific mission is to improve the skills and qualification of the young researcher in the laboratory through practical scientific activity by deepening their knowledge of protein isolation and their properties characterisation.
Project funding:
Project is funded by EU Structural Funds according to the 2014–2020 Operational Programme for the European Union Funds’ Investments priority “Development of scientific competence of researchers, other researchers, students through practical scientific activities” under Measure No. 09.3.3-LMT-K-712.
Project results:
The influences of lactic acid bacteria strains belonging to the Lactobacillus genus and enzymatic hydrolysis on the functional properties (antimicrobial activity and antioxidant activity) of proteins fractions isolated from quinoa and hemp seeds will be investigated during this summer practise project. The young researcher involved in the project will acquire new competencies in the field of plant proteins extraction and their properties evaluation.
Period of project implementation: 2019-07-01 - 2019-08-31
Project coordinator: Kaunas University of Technology
