Table 3.

The foaming property of plant proteins reported in published works using different methods. All reported on a dry basis except *, which are not reported, while [30] is reported on a wet basis. 1 Foaming capacity was expressed as the volume (%) increase due to whipping. 2 Foaming stability was expressed as the ratio of foam volume after 30 min times and the initial volume. # Calculated according to the reported initial foam volume and foam volume after standing for 30 min.
