Abstract
Recently, the fiberization of protein has attracted interest as the it has the ability to improve properties of proteins. This work aimed to investigate the characteristics and mechanism of self-assembly of potato protein (PP) into protein fibers (PNFs) under certain conditions. The properties of potato protein fibers and gums (PP-PNFs/GA) were investigated. Optimal conditions (4 % w/v, pH = 2.0, 90 °C) significantly improved emulsification, thermal stability and amphiphilicity of PP-PNFs. A 2:1 ratio of PP-PNFs/GA gave the highest yields, maximum volume fraction and a more relaxed network. Relevant experiments have shown that the complexes were formed by electrostatic interactions. The stability of the oleogel emulsion was found to be better and the oleogel droplets were more uniformly distributed when the volume addition ratio of the complex was 3 %. These results suggest that potato protein fibers combined with gum arabic is a novel, feasible and potentially green method for stabilizing oleogel emulsions.
