Physicochemical and functional properties of Moringa oleifera seed and leaf flour

Secondary structure of protein, surface hydrophobicity, and functional properties of defatted Moringa olifeira seed and leaf flour were studied. Protein presented high β-sheet (32.77–41.11%) and β-turn (37.97–39.31%) structures. Water holding and oil absorption capacities of leaf flour were adequate...
