Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesComparative Analysis of Proteins in Two Typical Chinese Thin-Shell WalnutsXu Meng, Tian YilingThis study compared functional properties and molecular characteristics of proteins from two thin-shelled walnut (Juglans regia L.) cultivars predominantly grown in China: Wen 185 and Lvling. Wen 185 walnut protein demonstrated significantly superior performance compared to Lvling across multiple functional parameters, including solubility, emulsifying capacity, foaming capacity, water absorption, and oil absorption. Molecular weight distribution analysis revealed that both proteins … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 4 · 15 Feb 2026 · 1,481 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesStudy the Relationship between the Microstructure and Characteristics of Quinoa Starch by Compared with Common Cereal StarchesMenyue Jiao, Yumei Gao, Yiling TianThe amylose and amylopectin contents, viscoelastic properties, freeze-thaw stability and Scanning Electron Micrographs (SEM) of quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd) were studied to explore the microstructural property relationships. Compared with wheat, corn, rice and waxy rice starches, quinoa starch had special characteristics connected to its unique microstructure. The high ratio of amylopectin to amylose (12.03) in quinoa starch affected its functional … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 17 Dec 2020 · 7,256 accessesView PDFCite
