Abstract:
Total hemp protein isolate (HPI) and two major fractions of HPI (HPI-11s and HPI-7s) were extracted from defatted hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) flour. Amino acid composition and protein in vitro digestibility of HPI, HPI-7s and HPI-11s were analyzed. The results showed that the protein isolates from hempseed are much more nutritional in amino acid nutrition and easily digestible than soybean protein isolate, and can be utilized as a good source of protein nutrition for human consumption.
