Abstract
The aim of this study was to modify the soy protein isolate-chia seed gum (SPI-CSG) complex using surface dielectric barrier discharge plasma at different exposure times (2, 4, and 6 min) to improve its techno-functional potential. The present active species in the plasma were determined using optical emission spectroscopy. The results revealed that the surface properties of the complex were altered from hydrophilic to hydrophobic at 4 min treatment and then reverted to hydrophilic at 6 min due to polar group formation. The apparent viscosity and modulus decreased with increasing plasma exposure time. FTIR analysis confirmed that plasma treatment did not alter the main structure of the complex, although the intensity of the peaks changed. The main driving forces for the SPI-CSG complex formation were hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic, and electrostatic interactions. Moreover, the plasma-treated solution exhibited a reduction in particle size and increased antioxidant activity compared to the untreated solution.
期刊介绍:
Food Chemistry: X, one of three Open Access companion journals to Food Chemistry, follows the same aims, scope, and peer-review process. It focuses on papers advancing food and biochemistry or analytical methods, prioritizing research novelty. Manuscript evaluation considers novelty, scientific rigor, field advancement, and reader interest. Excluded are studies on food molecular sciences or disease cure/prevention. Topics include food component chemistry, bioactives, processing effects, additives, contaminants, and analytical methods. The journal welcome Analytical Papers addressing food microbiology, sensory aspects, and more, emphasizing new methods with robust validation and applicability to diverse foods or regions.
