The major non protein constituents in concentrates are polysaccharides, arabinogalactan,<br />

and acid pectin –like polysaccharides, arabinon, and cellulose (Wolf and Cowan, 1971).<br />

2.5.3 Functional Properties<br />

Functional characterization <strong>of</strong> proteinous products like that <strong>of</strong> soy products can be<br />

generalized as hydration, emulsification, textural, and rheological (Fenemma, 1985).<br />

Those characteristics can be measured through their nitrogen solubility, water absorption,<br />

viscosity, swelling, gelation, fat absorption, foaming, whipping, adhesion, fiber/texture,<br />

aggregation, dough formation, and extrudability. Understanding the functional properties<br />

<strong>of</strong> food products is important in determining the quality <strong>of</strong> the final product as well as in<br />

facilitating processing like: improved machinability, transportation, storage etc.(Raiz,<br />

2008).<br />

Extrusion cooking process is one <strong>of</strong> innovative technology that can significantly change<br />

the functional properties <strong>of</strong> different products. By combining variations in plasticizing<br />

effect and dextrunization extent in extrusion, it is possible to obtain various polymer<br />

structures and molecular weight distributions, leading to a broad diversity in functional
