Besides all the sensory and texturizing properties, GA has interesting antioxidant properties such as an efficient capacity for deactivation of excited electronic states and moderated radical scavenging capacity. There is increasing experimental evidence that associate the antioxidant function with its protein fraction, mainly by amino acid residues such as histidine, tyrosine and lysine, which are generally considered as antioxidants molecules (Marcuse, 1960,1962 Park et al., 2005). 

Pin milling alone improved one functional property, oil emulsification (Table III). The pin-milled flours, protein fractions and proteinates gave oil emulsification values of 70.0-79.0% compared to values of less than 18.0% for starch products.

The tannins are special phenolic compounds characterized by their ability to combine with proteins and other polymers such as polysaccharides. This characteristic explains their tanning properties as arising from a tannin-collagen matrix and then astringency caused by precipitation of the proteins and glycoproteins from saliva. Also tannins are used in fining wines because they combine with proteins. Finally, they inhibit enzymes by combining with their protein fraction.

Milk proteins are subdivided into random coiled caseins, which can be precipitated by acidification of raw skim milk to pH 4.6 at 20°C, and into more globular whey proteins, which remain in the serum after precipitation of the caseins (42). In Table 8, an overview is given of the molecular structure and basic properties of the major protein fractions present in milk. Some specific properties that might be of importance for their determination in foods and food products are also listed. For the young of mammals, including humans, milk is the first and, for most, the only food ingested for a considerable period of time. With the domestication of animals, it became possible to include milk in the diet of adult humans as well. For much of the world, particularly in the West, milk from cattle (Bos taurus) accounts for nearly all the milk processed for human consumption (43). 

The palatability of safflower meal to poultry tends to be low (Ravindran and Blair, 1992) due to the presence of two phenolic glucosides matairesinol-p-glucoside, which imparts a bitter flavour, and 2-hydroxyarctiin-p-glucoside, which also has a bitter flavour and has cathartic properties (Darroch, 1990). Both glucosides are associated with the protein fraction of the meal, and they can be removed by extraction with water or methanol, or by the addition of P-glucosidase. 

Current opinion suggests that after emptying into the bloodstream, drugs associated with lymph lipoproteins equilibrate across the various plasma lipoprotein and protein fractions and take on the same clearance properties as drug introduced into the systemic circulation by way of the portal blood. The data of Haus et al. suggest that this is an oversimplification and that the mechanism of interconversion and interaction of dmg molecules between lymph and plasma lipoproteins is not clear [123],... 

The commonest methods of quantitation in general practice depend upon photometric measurements, after staining the protein fractions in situ on the paper. Newer methods, which will be given first are based on the measurement of properties other than the dye-binding capacity of the protein fractions. Some of these methods, which avoid the many... 

Oat starch has properties that have captured industrial interest, but its use has been limited, largely because of difficulties in separation of the grain into starch, fiber and protein fractions.5... 

The protein fraction of milk is known to contain many valuable components and biologically active substances, which confer special properties for the support of infant development and growth (Meisel and Schlimme, 1990). Many milk-born bioactivities are latent, requiring proteolytic release of bioactive peptides from inactive native proteins (Schanbacher et al., 1998). Milk protein-derived bioactive peptides include a variety of substances that are potential modulators of various regulatory processes and reveal...

The PPB of racemic drugs is potentially stereoselective, as a consequence of chiral discriminative properties of the binding sites of the protein fractions. However, the limited available data on the binding of enantiomers indicate the differences are small (Pacifici and Viani 1992). The concentrations of total protein, albumin and a-acid glycoprotein in plasma differs slightly between human and animal species (Davies and Morris 1993). Interspecies differences in the stereoselectivity of protein binding have been reported for various drags (Lima 1988 Lin et al. 1990,1991).

Samples used for analyses of functional properties were the redissolved protein fractions (RDP) from the unheated, the 60 sec microwave treatment and from the hot water treatments that had subsequently been freeze-dried, a procedure reported to result in minimum denaturation (7.) - At least six determinations were done for each test. 

Recently, a study was made of the electrophoretic as well as other physical and chemical properties of three types of soybean protein fractions (19). It was found that heating generally reduced the solubility of a suspension of these fractions and also increased their viscosity. These changes were attributed to subunit dissociation and aggregation.
