Master theses on Plant Protein Refining using Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents
We are looking for candidates for two Master thesis projects on:
1) Optimizing pea protein isolation after NADES refining
2) Analyzing polyphenols in NADES-based yellow pea and rapeseed extracts
These projects will contribute to improving plant-protein functionality and sensory properties through an innovative processing approach. In the first project, the candidate will explore different techniques for separating fiber from protein (i.e., salting-in, alkaline extraction/ isoelectric precipitation) and provide a preliminary characterization of the resulting protein isolates (yield, purity, protein type, nativity, solubility). In the second project, the candidate will use preparative chromatography or HPLC techniques to qualify and/ or quantify polyphenols in plant extracts, which will then be analyzed for their antioxidant and digestive enzyme-inhibiting characteristics.
