Abstract

The effect of autofermentation on the physicochemical properties of proteins of sorghum/groundnut (70:30 by wt.) composite flour was studied by sedimentation velocity measurements, gel filtration on Ultrogel ACA-44, PAGE at pH 9.2, spectral measurements, fluorescence spectra, and circular dichroism measurements. Results suggest a decrease in the molecular size of the proteins due to autofermentation. Both groundnut and sorghum proteins are equally susceptible to proteolysis during fermentation. The spectral measurements indicate increased polyphenol-protein interactions, conformational changes in the proteins resulting in an altered chromophoric environment of aromatic amino acids, and a decrease in the content of the limited ordered structure.
