The impact of ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) was evaluated on the functionality of jackfruit leaf protein hydrolysates. Leaf protein concentrate was obtained by ultrasound (LPCU) and conventional extractions by maceration (LPCM). LPCM and LPCU were hydrolyzed with pancreatin (180 min), and hydrolysates by maceration (HM) and ultrasound (HU) were obtained. The composition of amino acids, techno-functional (solubility, foaming, and emulsifying properties), and antioxidant properties of the hydrolysates were evaluated. A higher amount of essential amino acids was found in HU, while HM showed a higher content of hydrophobic amino acids. LPCs exhibited low solubility (0.97–2.89%). However, HM (67.8 ± 0.98) and HU (77.39 ± 0.43) reached maximum solubility at pH 6.0. The foaming and emulsifying properties of the hydrolysates were improved when LPC was obtained by UAE. The IC50 of LPCs could not be quantified. However, HU (0.29 ± 0.01 mg/mL) showed lower IC50 than HM (0.32 ± 0.01 mg/mL). The results reflect that the extraction method had a significant (p < 0.05) effect on the functionality of protein hydrolysates. The UAE is a suitable method for enhancing of quality, techno-functionality, and antioxidant properties of LPC.
