Freshly harvested Thaumatococcos daniellii, was plucked and processed for its vegetable leaf protein concentrates with a view to evaluate its proximate constituents, amino acid content and mineral composition. Proximate analysis was determined using standard analytical technique. The nutrient composition of the protein concentrates revealed; the moisture content (9.94±0.01), crude fat (6.69±0.23), crude fibre (13.06 ±_0.17), crude protein (52.07 ± 0.20), ash (15.10 ± 0.13) and Carbohydrate (1.12±0.43). The mineral content of the sample indicated that Ca, Mg, K, and Na are the most abundant minerals with the following values Na;70.6±0.42,Ca;19. 70±0.28, K; 90.3±0.42, Mg; 103.9±0. 76, other minerals that were presentin the sample in trace concentration are Fe(2.00 ± 0.46), Zn (2.90± 1.06), Mn (2.50± 0.12), Cu (0.2± 0.58), Pb (0.1± 0.44), while selenium were not detected in the sample indicating that the leaf concentrate is fit for dietary consumption. The amino acid profile reveals favourable nutritional balance with the presence of essential and nonessential amino acids except that tryptophan which was believed to be predominant in animal protein was not detected.

The goal of the study was to develop a biotechnological process for the production of protein concentrates via bioconversion of pea flour and whey, a secondary product of starch manufacture. Standard and special methods were used to analyze the chemical and biochemical composition of protein concentrates (amino acid, carbohydrate, and fractional) of flour, whey and protein concentrates. It was established that pea flour contains 52.28-57.05% water-soluble nitrogenous substances, 23.04-25.50% salt-soluble, 2.94-4.69% alcohol-soluble compounds, 0-0.61% of soluble glutenine, 6.67-10.40% alkali-soluble glutenine and 5.96-10.86% insoluble sclerotic substances. A mathematical model and optimal parameters of the enzymatic extraction of pea protein with a yield of 65-70% were developed. Ultrasonic exposure increased the yield of nitrogenous substances by 23.16 ± 0.69%, compared with the control without ultrasound. The protein concentrate had a mass fraction of nitrogenous substances of 72.48 ± 0.41% (Nx6.25) and a complete amino acid composition. The microbial conversion by the Saccharomyces cerevisiae 121 and Geotrichum candidum 977 cultures of starch whey which remained after protein precipitation allowed us to obtain feed concentrates from biomass and culture liquid with a protein mass fraction of 61.68-70.48% (Nx6.25). Protein concentrates positively affected the vital signs of rats and their excretory products. A technological scheme was developed to test the complex pea grain and starch whey processing under pilot conditions. pea, protein concentrate, extracts, whey, bioconversion, Geotrichum candidum, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, chemical composition, amino acid composition

SUMMARYLeaf protein concentrate was prepared from the weed Parthenium hysterophorus L. and the nutritional properties of this preparation were studied in relation to its amino acid composition and digestibility. The product and the residual fibre closely resembled similar products made from conventional forage species.

Из зерна нута получены белковые концентраты пищевого и кормового назначения с массовой долей белка на сухое вещество 83,22±0,35 % и 54,22±0,46 % соответственно и сбалансированным аминокислотным составом. Protein concentrates for food and feed purposes were obtained from chickpea grains with a mass fraction of protein per dry matter of 83.22±0.35 % and 54.22±0.46 %, respectively, and a balanced amino acid composition.
