Physicochemical properties such as lipid oxidation, total plate count, texture, flavor, and moisture distribution were evaluated. The results showed that the combined treatment (US + EF + ε-polylysine) exhibited the strongest preservation effect for SJYR, significantly inhibiting lipid oxidation, protein degradation, pH increase, and microbial growth, meanwhile maintaining texture and flavor of SJYR, resulting in the shelf-life extended approximately 10 days compared with the blank control group. Furthermore, four convolutional neural network (CNN) models including Xception, ResNet-50, MobileNet, and GhostNet were developed for SJYR freshness classification. Xception model achieved the highest test accuracy (83.05% mean precision), while GhostNet model showed promising accuracy (77.48%) with lower computational cost, making it suitable for mobile applications.

LPI was hydrolyzed using Alcalase at varying enzyme-to-substrate ratios (1:100-1:2000) and hydrolysis times (2-240 min). Enzymatic hydrolysis significantly modified LPI, with partially hydrolyzed proteins (LPP5-10, <50 kDa) exhibiting balanced functional properties, including surface hydrophobicity (207 A.U.) comparable to lecithin (199 A.U.), high solubility across pH 2-12, and substantially higher oil-holding capacity (752%) than native LPI (174%). Adding 0.05% LPP5-10 to non-fat milk enhanced yogurt gelation, storage modulus, and yield stress, achieving textures comparable to whole-milk yogurt.
