Valorization of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) and canola (Brassica napus L.) meals through protein coprecipitation: Physicochemical, functional, and structural characterization

Key Points

• The aim is to assess the protein coprecipitation of sunflower and canola meals and evaluate the resulting properties.
• Preparation of canola-sunflower protein coprecipitates with varying flour ratios
• Analysis of physicochemical properties
• Evaluation of functional and structural characteristics
• Crude protein content of CSPoCos ranged from 88.19% to higher percentages
• Altered functional properties based on flour ratios
• Significant variations in structural characteristics observed
