Abstract
This study aimed to overcome two inherent limitations of ovalbumin (OVA), specifically its high allergenicity and limited foaming properties, through the formulation of OVA-rutin complexes. Various modification levels of OVA-Rutin complexes were successfully produced, as confirmed by polyphenol binding equivalents and amino acid residues changes. Multispectral analyses collectively demonstrated that rutin promoted structural loosening in OVA and improved its molecular flexibility. At an OVA-Rutin ratio of 1:0.4, the IgE binding capacity diminished by 35.70 %. Meanwhile, the system exhibited superior Fe2+ chelation ability (50.88 ± 0.31 %), DPPH radical scavenging capability (67.18 ± 2.25 %) and ABTS radical scavenging ability (87.23 ± 0.50 %). The combination of rutin and OVA significantly increased foaming ability by 75.56–155.24 % and foaming stability by up to 1.32-fold. This improved foam performance was attributed to the desirable air-water interfacial activity and rearrangement capacity of the OVA-Rutin complexes. These findings provide an effective strategy for simultaneously enhancing foaming properties of OVA and mitigating its allergenicity.
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.
