Abstract
Soft composite gels were prepared with ultrasound-treated rice protein (URP, 4%) and rice starch (RS, 6%). The compositional and physical attributes of URP were elucidated, and the textural, rheological and structural properties of the composite gels were characterized. URP showed a reduced particle size, improved solubility, and increased heat tolerance. Cooked (65 °C for 20 min, then heated to 95 °C at 1 °C/min) RS + URP gels displayed a homogeneous and smooth texture with a range of reduced hardness (62%–78.3%) compared with RS gel while largely retaining the water-holding capacity. The viscosity and shear moduli (Gʹ and G′′) of the gels decreased correspondingly, and starch retrogradation was partially inhibited by the interaction with URP. A salient amorphous state revealed by X-ray diffraction confirmed weaker amylose association, in corroboration with non-covalent interactions between RS and URP shown by FTIR spectroscopy. These findings suggest that URP can be a functional ingredient for the development of soft, protein-rich, starch-based gel products suitable for the dysphagia diet.
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.
