Abstract

The extraction of defatted fern protein isolate was conducted using 0.1 M NaOH and agitation time of 30 min. To ensure that the protein isolate could be utilized for food application some functional properties such as water holding capacity oil holding capacity solubility foaming capacity and stability were evaluated. Nephrolepis biserrata showed the highest foaming capacity of 65 and solubility of 55.9. For each isolate water and oil holding capacity were not significantly different (p 0.05) although Arthropteris orientalis showed a better water and oil holding capacity than Nephrolepis biserrata. Thus it can be used in food formulation systems.
