| Research Abstract |
Considerable recent interest has been focused on the residue from defatted oilseeds because of their high protein content. To examine the possibility of using perilla and sesame proteins as a new food ingredient, we investigated their nutritional and biochemical properties.
I clarified solubility, amino acid composition, and subunit composition of major proteins in perilla seeds.
Furthermore, I showed that the number of cultured yeast cells in sesame peptide medium was approximately 4 times that in bacto peptone medium. The cells cultured with sesame peptides acquired improved tolerance to freeze-thaw stress after frozen storage. We further investigated the mechanisms of the improved tolerance.
