Abstract

Leaf protein is a promising material for meeting the growing demands of food protein in the world. However, for food use, the colour and flavor are considered to be main drawbacks. There are a number of approaches to get bland and colourless leaf protein viz. solvent extraction of leaf protein concentrate (LPC) and fractionation of proteins of juice into pigment-rich chloroplastic LPC and pigment-free cytoplasmic LPC by differential centrifugation, heat and organic solvents. The present investigation deals with nutritive value of some fractionated and solvent extracted leaf protein preparations.
