Investigations reveal hemp protein enhances antioxidant activity and water-holding capacity in gelatin hydrogels, highlighting its structural role.

To investigate the effects of hemp protein on gelatin hydrogels' properties and interactions.
Analyzed composite systems with 0–20% hemp protein in gelatin hydrogels.
Maintained constant gelatin concentration at 5% (w/w).
Utilized rheological measurements and texture profile analysis to assess properties.
Performed thermorheological analysis and FTIR for structural insights.
Hemp protein improved water-holding capacity and gel strength in hydrogels.
Reinforced networks formed at higher hemp protein concentrations.
FTIR analysis showed reorganization of hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions.
Significant increase in antioxidant activity measured by ABTS and FRAP.

Juchniewicz et al. (2026) studied this question.
