The long-standing collaboration between the BIA unit's ISD team and the University of the State of São Paulo (UNESP) was recently honoured with the defence of a co-supervised PhD (Adilson Locali Pereira) and three publications on the purification, composition and functional properties of protein ingredients obtained from sustainable and resilient crops: sorghum and pigeon pea.sur la purification, la composition et les propriétés fonctionnelles d'ingrédients protéiques obtenus à partir de cultures durables et résilientes : le sorgho et le pois d'Angole.

• Pigeon Pea, An Emerging Source of Plant-Based Proteins
• Pre-treatment effects on the composition and functionalities of pigeon pea seed ingredients

• Sorghum protein ingredients: Production, compositional variability and enhancement of aqueous dispersibility through homogenization

Many thanks to Vânia Regina Nicoletti, Thais Benatti Gallo and Adilson Locali Pereira for this fruitful collaboration.
