Study of the biochemical composition and physico-chemistry of a protein-based food model of Parkia biglobosa

2022

In West Africa, the seed of the cowpea (Parkia biglobosa) is used in traditional pharmacopoeia and especially in human food as a condiment. This legume is very rich in proteins and lipids and remains a poorly exploited source of protein. Our thesis focuses on the valorization of Néré seeds for the development of new protein-rich products of plant origin as an alternative to the use of soybean as a basic ingredient. The objectives were : (i)biochemical and physicochemical characterization of protein isolates from Néré seed flour according to the extraction process, (ii) selection of proteolytic lactic acid bacteria capable of fermenting Néré juice, reducing anti-nutritional factors in order …
