Abstract
A cowpea globulin isolate was used as a substrate for transglutaminase (TGase), and the product was compared with native proteins in respect of its functional properties at pH 3-8, Foaming capacity was signific antly increased (p less than or equal to 0.05) in the range pH 3-8 as a result of the treatment with TGase. The emulsifying activity index w as significantly (p less than or equal to 0.05) improved at pH 4, 6, a nd 7, while the emulsion stability was improved (p less than or equal to 0.05) in the range pH 3-6 for the treated samples.
