The flavour of the protein concentrates was assessed by a sensory panel, while analytical measurements were performed to quantify volatile and non-volatile compounds. Furthermore, technical functionality of the six protein concentrates was investigated. </p><p>Protein concentrates from toasted seeds were rated by the sensory panel as having a milder flavour, in line with chemical analysis that showed lower volatile and non-volatile oxidation indicators. Toasting the protein concentrate after air classification had a much smaller influence on flavour. The technical functionality of the samples was hardly affected by toasting. </p><p>Since flavour was positively affected by toasting the seeds while technical functionality was hardly affected, toasting may be considered in producing a bland but functional protein concentrate.</p> %I 4TU.ResearchData
