Use of supercritical CO2 to improve the quality of lupin protein isolate Domínguez-Valencia, Rubén Bermúdez, Roberto Pateiro, Mirian Purriños, Laura BOU, RICARD Lorenzo, José M. Indústries Alimentàries Funcionalitat i Seguretat Alimentària Lupins are an excellent source of protein which can be used to obtain protein isolates with potential use in the food industry. Some studies use supercritical CO2 (SC-CO2) to defat legume flours, but no study analyzes the effect of applying this technology directly to the protein isolate. This article has proposed the use of SC-CO2 to improve lupin protein isolate (LPI) quality. SC-CO2 increased the LPI purity while reducing oil and other antitechnological factors (saponins and polyphenols). The treatment significantly improved the LPI color due to the elimination of the lipid fraction and lipophilic pigments (carotenoids). No changes in amino acid contents or chemical score were observed due to the SC-CO2. Finally, the treatment improved or did not affect the main LPI technofunctional properties. Therefore, SC-CO2 is a promising technique to enhance the quality of protein isolates, without affecting or improving their functional properties. 2025-10-22T11:32:04Z 2025-10-22T11:32:04Z 2025-10-22T11:32:04Z 2024-07-18 info:eu-repo/semantics/article Domínguez-Valencia, Ruben, Roberto Bermúdez, Mirian Pateiro, Laura Purriños, Ricard Bou, and José M.
