Processing of soybean hulls to enhance the distribution and extraction of value-added proteins

Soybean hulls contain peroxidase (SBP) and Bowman–Birk type protease inhibitor (BBI). SBP is used in the European bread‐baking industry, and BBI isolated from dehulled, defatted soy flour possesses cancer‐preventive and anticarcinogenic properties. Because hulls possess a low percentage of nitrogen,...

Description
Summary:Soybean hulls contain peroxidase (SBP) and Bowman–Birk type protease inhibitor (BBI). SBP is used in the European bread‐baking industry, and BBI isolated from dehulled, defatted soy flour possesses cancer‐preventive and anticarcinogenic properties. Because hulls possess a low percentage of nitrogen, with fibre and other carbohydrates being the major components, our objective was to determine whether air classification of milled hulls could be used to fractionate and enrich these value‐added proteins. Hulls were pin milled three times at 18 000 rpm, followed by air classification to yield fractions with particle size distributions ranging from 30 µm. The finely ground fractions with particle sizes ranging from
