DOIAbstract
Two kenaf varieties QP3 and V36 were used to obtain protein concentrates. Proximate analysis, foaming, water and oil absorption properties were studied. Significant (P<0.05) differences were observed among the two varieties only in their content in oil and carbohydrates. The protein concentrate yield was 13.04% and 10.56%, respectively. The two varieties showed significantly different (P<0.05) water and oil absorption capacities. QP3 showed higher foaming capacity than did V38, and it was increased with increasing salt and sugar concentration. Albumin was the main fraction representing 59.6% and 66.1% in QP3 and V36 varieties, respectively, followed by globulin, which represented 22.6% and 19.1%, respectively. The ratios of albumin, globuli...
