Steps for preparation

  • The production of protein concentrates from sesame cake involves a series of operations, beginning with the extraction of the protein. This operation has been carried out using distilled water, sodium chloride solutions, sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, sodium carbonate–bicarbonate and sodium hydroxide.
  • Sesame protein concentrates have been obtained by using isopropanol for the extraction or by partial hydrolysis of defatted flour with a protease of fungal origin
  • After filtering the extraction mix, the filtrate undergoes isoelectric precipitation of the protein followed by neutralisation and drying of the product.
