Improved Functionality and Emulsifying Stability of Chickpea Protein Microgel–Mung Bean Hull Fiber Conjugates via Combined Physicochemical Pretreatment
Native chickpea protein isolate (CPI) exhibits unsatisfactory solubility and dispersibility, restricting its interfacial performance and emulsion-stabilizing capacity. Herein, CPI gels were subjected to combined high-pressure homogenization and ultrasonication pretreatment to fabricate CPI microgel particles (CPIMPs),...
