Effect of Acetylation on Physicochemical and Functional Properties of Commercial Pumpkin Protein Concentrate

The purpose of the present study was to determine the effects of acetylation with different doses of acetic anhydride on the chemical composition and chosen functional properties of commercial pumpkin protein concentrate (PPC). The total protein content decreased as compared to unmodified samples. E...
