Two kenaf varieties QP3 and V36 were used to obtain protein concentrates. Proximate analysis, foaming, water and oil absorption properties were studied. Significant (P <0.05) differences were observed among the two varieties only in their content in oil and carbohydrates. The protein concentrate yield was 13.04% and 10.56%, respectively. The two varieties showed significantly different (P <0.05) water and oil absorption capacities. QP3 showed higher foaming capacity than did V38, and it was increased with increasing salt and sugar concentration. Albumin was the main fraction representing 59.6% and 66.1% in QP3 and V36 varieties, respectively, followed by globulin, which represented 22.6% and 19.1%, respectively. The ratios of albumin, globulin, glutelin and prolamin were significantly different. Based on the data obtained from sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, the main kenaf seed proteins present in the concentrates were five proteins with molecular weights ranging from 10 to 66kDa. From differential scanning calorimetry data, QP3 and V36 protein concentrates had similar denaturation temperatures (82.6 and 81.8°C, respectively).
