Deep eutectic solvent extraction of Camellia oleifera seed meal protein: Functional properties, antioxidant hydrolysate production and molecular mechanism compared with alkaline extraction.
Conventional alkaline extraction of Camellia oleifera seed meal (COSM) protein is not satisfactory in extraction effects and co-extraction of antinutritional saponins. This study compared five choline chloride-based deep eutectic solvents (DESs). The choline chloride/1,4-butanediol system (DES-5) showed the most favora...
