Expected results
To
obtain peptides/protein extracts from brewer's yeasts with
increased functionality by combining lyses procedures with
emerging processing techniques.
To
develop peptide/protein - carbohydrate conjugates embedded with anthocyanins that will be further used for creating sustainable
functional ingredients for food industry.
