| الوصف: | Over the years, pulses and cereals have been identified as promising sources of plant proteins. The intensive production of these crops and concerns about food security and malnutrition worldwide have intensified research into their separation. While wet extraction remains the standard protein isolation method, the search for more sustainable extraction methods is still ongoing. Two dry fractionation techniques, air classification and tribo-electrostatic separation, have been discussed in this review. This review highlights the design aspects of air classifiers including the cut-off point and flow rate, and for electrostatic separators, factors such as charger materials, the nature of the flow in charger tubes, and the strength of the electric field potential have been discussed in detail. Our analysis revealed that cascading the two techniques should help enhance the concentration and purity of the separated fractions. While limitations such as low purity and low yield exist, current research studies are focused on overcoming such drawbacks. Dry fractionation exhibits potential as a sustainable processing method while also preserving the native functionality of the proteins, making it easier to incorporate the fractions in commercial scale processes. |
