Abstract
In vitro fibrillation of food-derived proteins is increasingly accepted as a promising strategy to prepare new food ingredients, which have broader functional properties than natural protein. In current study, acidic-heating (90 °C, pH 2.0) was performed for perilla seed protein isolate (PSPI) derived from oilseed residues to evaluate the feasibility to produce protein fibrils. TEM images revealed that PSPI were hydrolyzed and reassembled a fundamental linear structure of fibrils after 6 h of heating, as reflected by the variation in particle size distribution. And the branching effects were observed with prolonged time. The conformational changes of PSPI were systematically assessed by electrophoresis, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, circular dichroism, molecular dynamics simulations. Together with the results of surface hydrophobicity, zeta-potential confirmed that the self-assembly behavior of PSPI based fibrils was dominated by hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions. In addition, correlation analysis was combined to reflect the dynamical variation on emulsification, foaming, viscosity, interfacial and antioxidant properties during the structural evolution of PSPI. Overall, in-depth insights on the potential of perilla residues to convert into protein fibers will provide theoretical support for the regulation of functional properties of plant proteins and expand the potential applications of oilseed residues in the food field.
期刊介绍:
Food Hydrocolloids publishes original and innovative research focused on the characterization, functional properties, and applications of hydrocolloid materials used in food products. These hydrocolloids, defined as polysaccharides and proteins of commercial importance, are added to control aspects such as texture, stability, rheology, and sensory properties. The research's primary emphasis should be on the hydrocolloids themselves, with thorough descriptions of their source, nature, and physicochemical characteristics. Manuscripts are expected to clearly outline specific aims and objectives, include a fundamental discussion of research findings at the molecular level, and address the significance of the results. Studies on hydrocolloids in complex formulations should concentrate on their overall properties and mechanisms of action, while simple formulation development studies may not be considered for publication.
The main areas of interest are:
-Chemical and physicochemical characterisation
Thermal properties including glass transitions and conformational changes-
Rheological properties including viscosity, viscoelastic properties and gelation behaviour-
The influence on organoleptic properties-
Interfacial properties including stabilisation of dispersions, emulsions and foams-
Film forming properties with application to edible films and active packaging-
Encapsulation and controlled release of active compounds-
The influence on health including their role as dietary fibre-
Manipulation of hydrocolloid structure and functionality through chemical, biochemical and physical processes-
New hydrocolloids and hydrocolloid sources of commercial potential.
The Journal also publishes Review articles that provide an overview of the latest developments in topics of specific interest to researchers in this field of activity.
