Indústries Alimentàries Qualitat i Tecnologia Alimentària Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) combined with Amide I band deconvolution has been used to investigate protein structural changes occurring during high moisture extrusion processing (HMEP). However, it is a sensitive, user-dependent technique that has sparked debate over its appropriate analytical approach. This paper aims to assess the suitability of FTIR Amide I band deconvolution to investigate protein structural changes in fava bean protein concentrate (FBPC) caused by temperature treatment and/or HMEP at different temperatures (110 ◦C, 135 ◦C and 165 ◦C), and to explore its relationship with the texturisation level of the obtained products. Influence of sample preparation and parameter selection during FTIR deconvolution procedure was also explored. To do so, FBPC was heated in a convection oven or subjected to HMEP at different temperatures (110, 135 or 165 ◦C), and Fourier self-deconvolution (FSD) and second derivative (SD) were explored as bandnarrowing methods to analyse protein conformation from FTIR spectra. FTIR Amide I band deconvolution showed high sensitivity to sample preparation and parameter selection during FSD and SD analytical procedure. Results suggested that HMEP caused the denaturation of β-sheet forms present initially in FBPC, and an increase of other structures including intermolecular β-sheet and/or aggregates—probably due to the formation of new intermolecular bonds. Moreover, although higher temperature during HMEP enhanced fibre-like structure formation, texturisation level could not be directly related to the protein conformation of the final high moisture 2026-02-28T23:30:50Z 2026-02-28T23:30:50Z 2026-01-21 info:eu-repo/semantics/article 1386-1425 https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12327/5087 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.saa.2026.127509 eng Spectrochimica Acta Part A: Molecular and Biomolecular Spectroscopy MICINN/Programa Estatal para impulsar la investigación científico-técnica y su transferencia/PID2021-122285OR-I00/ES/Sensors and algorithms to optimize high moisture meat analogue production when using novel protein sources/SENSANALOG EC/H2020/101000847/EU/Climate Resilient Orphan croPs for increased DIVersity in Agriculture/CROPDIVA FEDER/ / /EU/ / ESF/ / /EU/ / EC/COST/CA19145/EU/European Network for assuring food integrity using non-destructive spectral sensors/SensorFINT http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International Elsevier
