Syftet med studien var att undersöka om olika batcher av kikärtsmjöl från fabrik hade skillnader i sammansättning, funktionella egenskaper och termiska egenskaper efter proteinextraktion. För att praktiskt utvärdera proteinernas funktionella egenskaper testades de extraherade proteinisolaten även som ersättning för äggula i majonnäs. Två batcher av kikärtsmjöl genomgick alkalisk proteinextraktion
Det huvudsakliga syftet med denna studie var att undersöka könsbias i skattningen av ledares ledarskapsförmåga, samt undersöka om könsbias i dessa bedömningar kunde prediceras av deltagarnas grad av sexism.
