Abstract
The foaming property of egg white (EW) is essential in food processing. In this study, we investigated the effect of ultrasound combined with adding different concentrations (0, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, and 0.8 %, m/v) of flaxseed gum (FG) on EW foaming. The results showed that the cooperation of ultrasound treatment and FG significantly improved the foaming stability. Regarding details, FG reduced the sulfhydryl content and surface hydrophobicity of EW proteins while increasing the average particle size and PDI value. Despite the ultrasound treatment, FG significantly improved the foaming stability from 62.83% to 99.82% (p < 0.05). Based on the analysis of ξ-potential, surface tension, rheology, etc., FG improved the EW microenvironment, which is conducive to foaming stability. As a new type of polysaccharide, FG combined with ultrasound can significantly improve the foaming properties. This research could solve the problem of reduced foaming stability of EW treated by ultrasound alone, making promising applications in the food industry.
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.
