Abstract
Oat antifreeze proteins (AsAFPs) are thermal hysteresis activity proteins extracted from oat seeds. In this study, they was added to hydrated gluten at 0.5 %, freeze-thawed, and freeze-dried under different treatment times, extracted glutenin macropolymer (GMP) from it, and then determined the content, particle size distribution, free sulfhydryl content, secondary structure and thermodynamic stability of GMP. Study the effect of AsAFPs on the depolymerization of freeze-thaw GMP showed that the GMP content decreases, the particle size gradually changes from large and medium size to small size, the free sulfhydryl content increases, the secondary structure exhibits disorderly instability, and the thermal stability and enthalpy decrease with the additions of freeze-thaw. With the addition of AsAFPs, the trend was the same, but with a small change. It indicates that AsAFPs has an inhibitory effect on GMP depolymerization.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Cereal Science was established in 1983 to provide an International forum for the publication of original research papers of high standing covering all aspects of cereal science related to the functional and nutritional quality of cereal grains (true cereals - members of the Poaceae family and starchy pseudocereals - members of the Amaranthaceae, Chenopodiaceae and Polygonaceae families) and their products, in relation to the cereals used. The journal also publishes concise and critical review articles appraising the status and future directions of specific areas of cereal science and short communications that present news of important advances in research. The journal aims at topicality and at providing comprehensive coverage of progress in the field.
