Protein isolation from agriculture and food industry side products rich in proteins (e.g. oil cakes). Assessment of protein isolates and production of protein hydrolysates. Cell culture media formulation through serum reduction and fortification with in-house produced plant protein hydrolysates. Myoblast and preadipocyte cell proliferation and differentiation in culture media fortified with the hydrolysates.
