The effect of four enzyme preparations (EP), Bacillolysin, Agroprot, Protozyme, and Protozyme C (Russia), on the protein and peptide profiles of the protein isolate isolated from peas of the Focor variety, as well as on its smell and taste, was investigated in this work. It was shown that enzyme treatment can improve the odor characteristics of the isolate. Thus, it was possible to reduce significantly the severity of the bean and herbal smell. At the same time, enzyme treatment also improved the taste of the isolate: it was possible to reduce significantly the severity of disturbing flavors such as leguminous, astringent, bitter, and herbal. The results obtained allowed us to select EP (fungal acid aspartic protease) to improve the organoleptic parameters of pea protein isolates intended for the production of meat and dairy product analogs.

The effect of four enzyme preparations: bacillolysin, agroprot, protozyme and protozyme C (Russia) on solubility, emulsifying activity, emulsion stability, foaming and foam stability of isolates prepared from two varieties of peas was studied. It is shown that treatment with enzymes can increase the solubility of isolates at pH 5 by more than 7 times, the index of emulsifying activity at pH 5 by 1.5 to 2 times, and at pH 6 by almost 1.5 times; the stability index of the emulsion increased by about 20% at pH 5, and by 1.7 times (in one of the varieties) at pH 6; foaming increased by 2.4 to 3 times at pH 5, and at pH 6 by 1.8 to 3.7 times; foam stability increased by 25 to 33% at pH 5 and by more than 1.5 times (in one of the varieties) at pH 6. The results obtained made it possible to select an enzyme preparation (bacterial alkaline serine protease) to improve the parameters of pea protein isolates intended for the manufacture of analogs of fermented milk products.
