Characterization of Soybean Protein Isolate-Food Polyphenol Interaction via Virtual Screening and Experimental Studies

(1) Background: Protein–polyphenol interactions have been widely studied regarding their influence on the properties of both protein and the ligands. As an important protein material in the food industry, soybean protein isolate (SPI) experiences interesting changes through polyphenols binding. (2)...
