Özet
BACKGROUND Plant‐based proteins, such as hazelnut protein isolates (HPIs), often exhibit limited solubility and functionality, as well as allergenic potential, thereby limiting their applicability in food products. This investigation sought to improve the techno‐functional characteristics of HPI and mitigate its allergenicity via high‐pressure homogenization treatment (HPHT) coupled with pH shifting, and to assess the feasibility of the modified HPI as a wall material for probiotic encapsulation. RESULTS The combined application of alkaline pH (pH 12) and high pressure (875 bar) substantially enhanced protein solubility (up to 86.5%) and emulsion activity; concurrently, the zeta potential became more negative, suggesting increased electrostatic repulsion. Structural investigations demonstrated significant conformational alterations, including the disruption of α‐helix and β‐sheet structures and an increase in random …
