Mung bean is a rich protein source, but its native form has limited solubility and function- ality for food applications

Mung bean is a rich protein source, but its native form has limited solubility and function- ality for food applications. As a promising agro-based crop, mung bean offers a sustainable alternative to traditional protein sources, especially in regions with limited access to re- sources. This study optimized mung bean protein hydrolysate (MBPH) production using response surface methodology (RSM), investigating the effects of alcalase concentration (2–7%) and hydrolysis time (2–7 h) on its...
