Ultrasound-assisted alkaline proteinase extraction enhances the yield of pecan protein and modifies its functional properties

To enhance the extraction yield of pecan protein and modify its functional properties, this study investigated whether both ultrasound and enzyme have a synergistic impact on the extraction of pecan (Carya illinoinensis (Wangenh.) K. Koch) protein. The highest protein extraction rate (25.51%) was ob...
