Effect of acetylation and succinylation on the physicochemical properties of winged bean (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus)

Winged bean flour was acylated to various degrees by acetic and succinic anhydrides. Changes in physicochemical properties such as PAGE, fluorescence spectra, and ultracentrifuge patterns of acylated proteins were measured. Acetylation and succinylation dissociated the proteins of winged bean to low...

Description
Summary:Winged bean flour was acylated to various degrees by acetic and succinic anhydrides. Changes in physicochemical properties such as PAGE, fluorescence spectra, and ultracentrifuge patterns of acylated proteins were measured. Acetylation and succinylation dissociated the proteins of winged bean to lower molecular weight proteins. The extent of dissociation depends upon the degree of acetylation/succinylation. Succinylation dissociates winged bean proteins to a greater extent than acetylation
