Summary
Plant-based proteins have recently attracted particular interest owing to their sustainable origins, economical costs and health benefits compared to animal-based counterparts. However, most of them have limited applications due to their inferior functionality, which is the consequence of poor-aqueous solubility, complexity and sensitivity to environmental stress conditions such as pH, salt and temperature. Additionally, plant proteins are often embedded in hemicellulose, lignin and other poorly digestible polysaccharides, which further reduce their bioavailability. Therefore, the modulation of plant proteins to improve their technological and industrial applications, and make them more accessible in general, is highly sought after. The modification of plant proteins by altering their phys
