Abstract
The study investigated the properties of soy protein fibril-red palm oil Pickering emulsions produced through high-speed shear homogenization (HSH) and ultrasound-assisted emulsification (UAE), focusing on their effects as fat substitutes on the characteristics of myofibrillar protein and meat emulsion gels. Compared to the emulsion produced by HSH, the UAE-generated emulsion demonstrated enhanced storage stability, higher apparent viscosity, a more pronounced absolute zeta potential, and smaller droplet sizes. Replacing less than 50% of the fat did not significantly impact the hardness, springiness, gumminess, or chewiness of the myofibrillar protein emulsion gel. However, when increasing the fat replacement ratio to 75% resulted in a noticeable decline in cohesiveness, gumminess, and chewiness, complicating the formation of a solid gel. Both emulsions were capable of replacing 50% of the chicken fat in a chicken meat emulsion system without significantly compromising texture properties, with UAE-fabricated emulsion exhibiting increased gumminess, chewiness, and resilience. Moreover, the incorporation of Pickering emulsion reduced cooking loss and oil oxidation in the chicken meat emulsion system, with the UAE-fabricated emulsion showing superior control over oil oxidation compared to the HSH-fabricated emulsion over 15 days of storage.
期刊介绍:
LWT - Food Science and Technology is an international journal that publishes innovative papers in the fields of food chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, technology and nutrition. The work described should be innovative either in the approach or in the methods used. The significance of the results either for the science community or for the food industry must also be specified. Contributions written in English are welcomed in the form of review articles, short reviews, research papers, and research notes. Papers featuring animal trials and cell cultures are outside the scope of the journal and will not be considered for publication.
