ABSTRACT
Brewer's spent grain (BSG) is an abundant agro-industrial residue and a sustainable low-cost source for extracting proteins. The composition and functionality of BSG protein concentrates are affected by extraction conditions. This study examined the use of citric acid (CA) and HCl to precipitate BSG proteins. The resultant protein concentrates were compared in terms of their composition and functional properties. The BSG protein concentrate precipitated by CA had 10% lower protein content, 5.8% higher carbohydrate, and 5.4% higher lipid content than the sample precipitated by HCl. Hydrophilic/hydrophobic protein and saturated/unsaturated fatty acid ratios increased by 16.9% and 26.5% respectively, in the sample precipitated by CA. The formation of CA-cross-linkages was verified using shotgun proteomics and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Precipitation by CA adversely affected protein solubility and emulsifying properties, while improving foaming properties. This study provides insights into the role of precipitants in modulating the properties of protein concentrates.
