Abstract
In the process of preparation of protein isolate (LPI) from Leucaena leucocephala seed kernels (K28), the mimosine content was found to be reduced by 93%. The LPI was comparable to commercial soy protein isolate (SPI) with respect to gelation, oil and water absorption. With good foaming and emulsification ability the LPI was found to be a good substitute for egg in cakes and mayonnaise.
