Abstract
This study systematically evaluated the impact of different fatty acids (LA, lauric acid; MA, myristic acid; PA, palmitic acid; SA, stearic acid; 5 % w/w) with soybean isolate protein (SPI, 10 % w/w) on the structural and anti-retrogradation properties of mung bean starch gels. The results showed that fatty acids and SPI interacted with starch during the pasting process, disrupted the integrity network, reduced the order and viscoelasticity of the system, and depended on the length of carbon chains. Notably, under the emulsification of SPI, long-chain fatty acids (e.g., palmitic acid 64.33 % and stearic acid 65.57 %) formed complexes with starch, significantly limiting their release. During 30 days of storage, SPI and fatty acids synergistically retained moisture (e.g., 18 % lower syneresis in ternary gels vs. control starch gels) and reduced chromatic aberration (ΔE < 5.7) and hardness (282.06 g–388.07 g). This was favorable for maintaining the quality of the gelled food during its shelf life and promoted the precise application of fatty acids in the gel system.
期刊介绍:
Carbohydrate Polymers stands as a prominent journal in the glycoscience field, dedicated to exploring and harnessing the potential of polysaccharides with applications spanning bioenergy, bioplastics, biomaterials, biorefining, chemistry, drug delivery, food, health, nanotechnology, packaging, paper, pharmaceuticals, medicine, oil recovery, textiles, tissue engineering, wood, and various aspects of glycoscience.
The journal emphasizes the central role of well-characterized carbohydrate polymers, highlighting their significance as the primary focus rather than a peripheral topic. Each paper must prominently feature at least one named carbohydrate polymer, evident in both citation and title, with a commitment to innovative research that advances scientific knowledge.
