The influence of sucrose (0-40 wt %) on the thermal denaturation and functionality of whey protein isolate (WPI) solutions has been studied. The effect of sucrose on the heat denaturation of 0.2 wt % WPI solutions (pH 7.0) was measured using differential scanning calorimetry. Sucrose increased the temperature at which protein denaturation occurred, for example, by 6-8 degrees C for 40 wt % sucrose. The dynamic shear rheology of 10 wt % WPI solutions (pH 7.0, 100 mM NaCl) was monitored as they were heated from 30 to 90 degrees C and then cooled to 30 degrees C. Sucrose increased the gelation temperature and the final rigidity of the cooled gels. The degree of flocculation in 10 wt % oil-in-water emulsions stabilized by 1 wt % WPI (pH 7.0, 100 mM NaCl) was measured using a light scattering technique after they were heated at fixed temperatures from 30 to 90 degrees C for 15 min and then cooled to 30 degrees C. Sucrose increased the temperature at which maximum flocculation was observed and increased the extent of droplet flocculation. These results are interpreted in terms of the influence of sucrose on the thermal unfolding and aggregation of protein molecules.  相似文献

The combined influence of a strongly interacting cosolvent (NaCl) and a weakly interacting cosolvent (sucrose) on the heat-induced gelation of bovine serum albumin (BSA) was studied. The dynamic shear rheology of 4 wt % BSA solutions containing 0 or 20 wt % sucrose and 0-200 mM NaCl was monitored as they were heated from 30 to 90 degrees C at 1.5 degrees C min(-)(1), held at 90 degrees C for 120 min, and then cooled back to 30 degrees C at -1.5 degrees C min(-)(1). The turbidity of the same solutions was monitored as they were heated from 30 to 95 degrees C at 1.5 degrees C min(-)(1) or held isothermally at 90 degrees C for 10 min. NaCl had a similar effect on BSA solutions that contained 0 or 20 wt % sucrose, with the gelation temperature decreasing and the final gel strength increasing with increasing salt concentration and the greatest changes occurring between 25 and 100 mM NaCl. Nevertheless, the presence of sucrose did lead to an increase in the gelation temperature and final gel strength and a decrease in the final gel turbidity. The impact of NaCl on gel characteristics was attributed primarily to its ability to screen electrostatic interactions between charged protein surfaces, whereas the impact of sucrose was attributed mainly to its ability to increase protein thermal stability and strengthen the attractive forces between proteins through a preferential interaction mechanism.  相似文献

Reconstituted skim milk was adjusted to pH values between 6.5 and 7.1 and heated (90 degrees C) for up to 30 min. The skim milk samples were then readjusted to pH 6.7. Acid gels prepared from heated milk had markedly higher G ' values, a reduced gelation time, and an increased gelation pH than those prepared from unheated milk. An increased pH at heating decreased the gelation time, increased the gelation pH, and increased the final G ' of acid set gels prepared from the heated milk samples. There were only small differences in the level of whey protein denaturation in the samples at different pH values, and these differences could not account for the differences in the G ' of the acid gels. The levels of denatured whey protein associated with the casein micelles decreased and the levels of soluble denatured whey proteins increased as the pH at heating was increased. The results indicated that the soluble denatured whey proteins had a greater effect on the final G ' of the acid gels than the denatured whey proteins associated with the casein micelles.  相似文献

Proteins isolated from blue-green algae Spirulina platensis strain Pacifica were characterized by visible absorption, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), viscometry, and dynamic oscillatory rheological measurements. Unique thermal unfolding, denaturation, aggregation, and gelation of the algal protein isolate are presented. DSC analysis showed that thermal transitions occur at about 67 and 109 degrees C at neutral pH. Calcium chloride stabilized the quaternary structure against denaturation and shifted the transitions at higher temperatures. Viscometric studies of Spirulina protein isolate as a function of temperature showed that the onset of the viscosity increase is closely related to the dissociation-denaturation process. Lower viscosities were observed for the protein solutions dissolved at pH 9 due to an increased protein solubility. Solutions of Spirulina protein isolate form elastic gels during heating to 90 degrees C. Subsequent cooling at ambient temperatures caused a further pronounced increase in the elastic moduli and network elasticity. Spirulina protein isolate has good gelling properties with fairly low minimum critical gelling concentrations of about 1.5 and 2.5 wt % in 0.1 M Tris buffer, pH 7, and with 0.02 M CaCl(2) in the same buffer, respectively. It is suggested that mainly the interactions of exposed hydrophobic regions generate the molecular association, initial aggregation, and gelation of the protein isolate during the thermal treatment. Hydrogen bonds reinforce the network rigidity of the protein on cooling and further stabilize the structure of Spirulina protein gels but alone are not sufficient to form a network structure. Intermolecular sulfhydryl and disulfide bonds were found to play a minor role for the network strength of Spirulina protein gels but affect the elasticity of the structures formed. Both time and temperature at isothermal heat-induced gelation within 40-80 degrees C affect substantially the network formation and the development of elastic modulus of Spirulina protein gels. This is also attributed to the strong temperature dependence of hydrophobic interactions. The aggregation, denaturation, and gelation properties of Spirulina algal protein isolate are likely to be controlled from protein-protein complexes rather than individual protein molecules.  相似文献

Heat-induced gel formation by soy proteins at neutral pH   总被引：9，自引：0，他引：9  
Heat-induced gel formation by soy protein isolate at pH 7 is discussed. Different heating and cooling rates, heating times, and heating temperatures were used to elucidate the various processes that occur and to study the relative role of covalent and noncovalent protein interactions therein. Gel formation was followed by dynamic rheological measurements. Heat denaturation was a prerequisite for gel formation. The gelation temperature (84 degrees C) was just above the onset denaturation temperature of glycinin. The stiffness of the gels, measured as the elastic modulus, G', increased with the proportion of denatured protein. An increase in G' was also observed during prolonged heating at 90 degrees C. This increase is explained by the occurrence of rearrangements in the network structure and probably also by further incorporation of protein in the network. The increase in G' upon cooling was thermoreversible indicating that disulfide bond formation and rearrangements do not occur upon cooling.  相似文献

Heat inactivation characteristics differed for acidic (A), neutral (N), and basic (B) broccoli peroxidase. At 65 degrees C, A was the most heat stable followed by N and B. The activation energies for denaturation were 388, 189, and 269 kJ/mol for A, N, and B, respectively. Reactivation of N occurred rapidly, within 10 min after the heated enzyme was cooled and incubated at room temperature. The extent of reactivation varied from 0 to 50% depending on the isoenzyme and heating conditions (temperature and time). The denaturation temperature allowing the maximum reactivation was 90 degrees C for A and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and 70 and 80 degrees C for B and N, respectively. In all cases, heat treatment at low temperatures for long times prevented reactivation of the heated enzymes. Calcium (5 mM) increased the thermal stability of N and B but had no effect on reactivation. The presence of 0.05% bovine serum albumin decreased thermal stability but increased the extent of reactivation of A..  相似文献

The effects of Trichoderma reesei tyrosinase-catalyzed cross-linking of isolated chicken breast myofibril proteins as a simplified model system were studied with special emphasis on the thermal stability and gel formation of myofibrillar proteins. In addition, tyrosinase-catalyzed cross-linking was utilized to modify the firmness, water-holding capacity (WHC), and microstructure of cooked chicken breast meat homogenate gels. According to SDS-PAGE, the myosin heavy chain (MHC) and troponin T were the most sensitive proteins to the action of tyrosinase, whereas actin was not affected to the same extent. Calorimetric enthalpy (DeltaH) of the major thermal transition associated with myosin denaturation was reduced and with actin denaturation increased in the presence of tyrosinase. Low-amplitude viscoelastic measurements at constant temperatures of 25 degrees C and 40 degrees C showed that tyrosinase substantially increased the storage modulus (G') of the 4% myofibrillar protein suspension in the 0.35 M NaCl concentration. The effect was the most pronounced with high-enzyme dosages and at 40 degrees C. Without tyrosinase, the G' increase was low. Tyrosinase increased the firmness of the cooked phosphate-free and low-meat chicken breast meat homogenate gels compared to the corresponding controls. Tyrosinase maintained gel firmness at the control level of the low-salt homogenate gel and weakened it when both salt and phosphate levels were low. Tyrosinase improved the WHC of the low-meat and low-salt homogenate gels and maintained it at the level of the corresponding controls of phosphate-free and low-salt/low-phosphate homogenate gels. Microstructural characterization showed that a collagen network was formed in the presence of tyrosinase. Keywords: Chicken myofibrillar proteins; protein modification; cross-linking; tyrosinase; gelation; thermal stability; texture; water-holding capacity; microstructure.  相似文献

Whey protein isolate (WPI) gels were prepared from solutions containing ribose or lactose at pH values ranging from 6 to 9. The gels with added lactose had no color development, whereas the gels with added ribose were orange/brown. Lactose stabilized the WPI to denaturation, which increased the time and temperature required for gelation, thus decreasing the fracture modulus of the gel compared to the gels with added ribose and the gels with no sugar added. Ribose, however, favored the Maillard reaction and covalent cross-linking of proteins, which increased gel fracture modulus. The decreased pH caused by the Maillard reaction in the gels containing ribose occurred after protein denaturation and gelation, thus having little if any effect on the gelation process.  相似文献

Gel formation was monitored by low amplitude rheometry during acidification at 40 degrees C with 1.5% glucono-delta-lactone in combined milk systems containing soluble and/or micelle-bound heat-induced (95 degrees C/10 min) aggregates of denatured whey proteins and kappa-casein and in heated dairy mixes with varying micellar casein/whey protein ratio (CN/WP). Both soluble and micelle-bound aggregates increased gelation pH and gel strength. Micelle-bound aggregates seemed to modify the micelle surface so that micelles were destabilized at a pH of 5.1 (instead of 4.7), while soluble aggregates precipitated at their calculated pI of approximately 5.3, and initiated an early gelation by interacting with the micelles. Decreasing the CN/WP ratio produced larger aggregates with higher whey protein: kappa-casein ratio, which gave more elastic gels. The specific effects of the micellar and soluble aggregates on gel strength are discussed with respect to their relative proportions in the heated milk.  相似文献

The kinetics of beta-lactoglobulin (beta-LG) denaturation in reconstituted skim milk samples of various concentrations (9.6-38.4% total solids) over a wide temperature range (75-100 degrees C) was studied. The thermal denaturation of beta-LG had a reaction order of 1.5 at all milk solids concentrations and at all temperatures. The rate of denaturation of beta-LG was markedly dependent on the milk solids concentration and the heating temperature. At 75 degrees C, the thermal denaturation of beta-LG was retarded at higher milk solids concentrations. However, this retardation was less pronounced at higher temperatures so that a similar rate of denaturation was observed at all milk solids concentrations at 100 degrees C. From an examination of the level of disulfide-aggregated beta-LG, it was evident that most, but not all, of the denatured beta-LG was involved in disulfide-aggregated complexes, either with other denatured whey proteins or with the casein micelles. As with beta-LG denaturation, the rate of disulfide aggregation of beta-LG was markedly dependent on the milk solids concentration.  相似文献

The denaturation, aggregation, and rheological properties of chicken breast muscle myosin, beta-lactoglobulin (beta-LG), and mixed myosin/beta-LG solutions were studied in 0.6 M NaCl, 0.05 mM sodium phosphate buffer, pH 7.0, during heating. The endotherm of a mixture of myosin and beta-LG was identical to that expected if the endotherm of each protein was overlaid on the same axis. The maximum aggregation rate (AR(max)) increased, and the temperature at the AR(max) (T(max)) and initial aggregation temperature (T(o)) decreased as the concentration of both proteins was increased. The aggregation profile of <0.5% myosin was altered by the presence of 0.25% beta-LG. Addition of 0.5-3.0% beta-LG decreased storage moduli of 1% myosin between 55 and 75 degrees C, but increased storage moduli (G') when heated to 90 degrees C and after cooling. beta-LG had no effect on the gel point of > or =1.0% myosin, but enhanced gel strength when heated to 90 degrees C and after cooling. After cooling, the G' of 1% myosin/2%beta-LG gels was about 1.7 times greater than that of gels prepared from 2% myosin/1% beta-LG.  相似文献

Heated (20-100 °C/0-30 min) skim milks (pH 6.5-7.1) were diluted in buffer (pH 7.0). Rennet was added, and the particle size with time was measured. For all samples, the size initially decreased (lag phase) and then increased (aggregation phase). Milks heated at ≤60 °C had short lag phases and rapid aggregation phases regardless of pH. Milks heated at >60 °C at pH 6.5 had long lag phases and slow aggregation phases. As the pH increased, the lag phase shortened and the aggregation phase accelerated. The aggregation time was correlated with the level of whey protein associated with the casein micelles and with the level of κ-casein dissociated from the micelles. Heated milks formed weak gels when renneted. It is proposed that the milks heated at low pH have whey proteins associated with the casein micelles and that these denatured whey proteins stabilize the micelles to aggregation by rennet and therefore inhibit gelation. In the milks heated at higher pH, the whey proteins associate with κ-casein in the serum and, on rennet treatment, the κ-casein-depleted micelles and the serum-phase whey protein/κ-casein complexes aggregate; however, the denatured whey proteins stabilize the aggregates so that gelation is still inhibited.  相似文献

The effects of heat treatment and limited kappa-casein hydrolysis on the micelle/serum distribution of the heat-induced whey protein/kappa-casein aggregates were investigated as a possible explanation for the gelation properties of combined rennet and acid gels. Reconstituted skim milk was submitted to combinations of 0-67% hydrolysis of the kappa-casein at 5 degrees C and heat treatment at 90 degrees C for 10 min. The protein composition of the ultracentrifugal fractions was obtained by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). The aggregates contained in each phase were isolated by size-exclusion chromatography and analyzed by RP-HPLC and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Upon heating only, 20-30% of the total kappa-casein dissociated, while 20-30% of the total whey protein attached to the micelles. When heated milk was renneted, little changes were observed in the distribution and composition of the aggregates. Conversely, the heat treatment of partially renneted milk induced the formation of essentially micelle-bound aggregates. The results were discussed in terms of the preferred interaction between hydrophobic para-kappa-casein and denatured whey proteins.  相似文献

Casein fractions have been shown to act as molecular chaperones and inhibit aggregation of whey proteins in dilute solutions (< or =1% w/v). We evaluated if this approach would stabilize protein solutions at higher concentration and thermal processing temperatures desired for beverage applications. Mixtures of beta-lactoglobulin (BLG) (6% w/v) with either beta-casein (BCN) (0.01-2% w/v) or alpha s-casein (ACN) (2% w/v) were adjusted to pH 6.0 and heated (70-90 degrees C) for 20 min, cooled, and then analyzed to determine the degree of aggregation. Aggregation was determined by solution turbidity as optical density (OD) at 400 or 600 nm. The addition of 0.05% (w/v) BCN or greater caused a drop in turbidity for solutions heated at 70-90 degrees C. In contrast, inhibition was observed in BLG-ACN mixtures at 70 degrees C but not at > or =75 degrees C. Moreover, prolonged heating (90 min) of BLG with 2% (w/v) BCN (pH 6.0) at 90 degrees C produced a clear solution while BLG-ACN solutions formed translucent gels after heating for 15 min. The weight-averaged molar mass and root-mean-square (rms) radius of soluble aggregates were determined by size exclusion chromatography in conjunction with multiangle laser light scattering (SEC-MALS). SEC-MALS confirmed the turbidity results by showing that the BLG-BCN mixture (8% w/v protein) produced aggregates with lower molar mass and smaller rms radius (majority 20-40 nm). These results showed that BCN is a feasible component to stabilize higher concentrations of whey proteins in beverages.  相似文献

Thermal denaturation and aggregation abilities of salmon myofibrils and myosin were studied measuring turbidity, intrinsic fluorescence, 8-anilino-1-naphthalene sulfonic acid binding, and 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide cross-linking. The thermal behaviors of protein preparation from white and red muscles were compared, and the relationship with thermal gelation properties is discussed. The low gelation ability of salmon muscle proteins was related to a limited extent of protein denaturation and aggregation upon heating. These properties seemed to be carried by myosin molecules as a similar behavior was observed for both myofibrils and myosin preparations. The higher thermal stability observed for red muscle proteins with higher transition temperatures in rheological profiles was related to a shift to higher temperature in denaturation and aggregation processes. The extent of denaturation and aggregation was very similar for both muscle types as was the final rigidity of the gels formed.  相似文献

Physicochemical changes of myosin during heating were investigated to elucidate the mechanism of heat-induced gelation of arrowtooth flounder (ATF) myosin at high ionic strength. Changes in dynamic properties indicated ATF myosin formed a gel in three different stages as shown by the first increase in G' (storage modulus) at 28 degrees C, followed by the decrease at 35 degrees C and the second increase at 42 degrees C. DSC thermogram showed the onset of myosin denaturation at 25 degrees C with two maximum transition temperatures at 30 and 36 degrees C. The decrease in alpha-helical content indicated ATF myosin began to unfold at 15 degrees C and the unfolding continued until it reached 65 degrees C. Turbidity measurement showed myosin began to aggregate at 23 degrees C and the aggregation was complete at 40 degrees C. Surface hydrophobicity increased consistently in the temperature range studied, 20-65 degrees C. Sulfhydryl contents decreased significantly at 20-30 degrees C due to the formation of disulfide linkages but remained constant at temperatures >30 degrees C. ATF myosin was shown to be extremely sensitive to heat, resulting in denaturation at lower temperature than other fish myosin. Denaturation was initiated by unfolding of the alpha-helical region in myosin followed by exposure of hydrophobic and sulfhydryl residues, which are subsequently involved in aggregation and gelation processes.  相似文献

Effects of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and the predominant fatty acids (FAs) in milk, butyrate, oleate, and palmitate, on secondary structural changes in beta-lactoglobulin (beta-LG) during heat-induced gelation were analyzed on the basis of circular dichroism (CD) spectra. Small-strain oscillatory measurements were carried out to characterize viscoelastic properties of the heat-induced gels. In the absence of added salt, PC and FAs induced helix formation of beta-LG on heating to 80 degrees C and increased the storage moduli (G') of heat-induced gels. In the presence of 500 mM NaCl, PC did not change the CD spectrum of beta-LG but decreased G'. In contrast, butyrate substantially unfolded beta-LG in 500 mM NaCl on heating, forming very elastic gels with increased G' values. Palmitate and oleate induced beta-LG gel formation at 25 degrees C without heating; heating to 80 degrees C almost completely unfolded beta-LG in 500 mM NaCl.  相似文献

The influence of high-pressure treatment (HPT) (200-800 MPa, 5 or 20 min, at 20 degrees C) on the rheological properties of solutions of amidated low-methoxyl pectin (LMP) and its mixtures with micellar casein (MC) has been investigated in the presence and absence of sucrose. The storage modulus G' of LMP gels containing 0-55 wt % sucrose and 0.1-1 wt % LMP was found to increase significantly following HPT at >or=400 MPa. Various concentrations of LMP in the presence of different amounts of MC (0.5-12 wt %) showed contrasting types of rheological behavior. In the presence of a low concentration of LMP (<0.3 wt %), HPT was found to induce a sol-gel transformation at relatively high LMP/MC molar ratios (<4 wt % MC), to reduce values of G' and the loss modulus G' ' at intermediate LMP/MC ratios (4-10 wt % MC), and to increase the values of G' and G' ' at low LMP/MC ratios (>10 wt % MC). In contrast, in the presence of a higher amount of LMP (>0.5 wt %), it was observed that HPT enhances the values of both the storage and the loss moduli over the whole range of MC concentrations.  相似文献

Ricin is a potent protein toxin found in the seeds of the castor bean plant, Ricinus communis. Ricin specifically and irreversibly inactivates ribosomes, promoting cell death by inhibiting protein synthesis. It is composed of a ribosome-inactivating enzyme (A-chain) linked to a lectin (B-chain) by a single disulfide bond. Several reports indicate that ricin can be detoxified by thermal treatment; however, the conditions required for inactivation are not well characterized. In addition, little information exists on the thermal stability of ricin added to foods. The objective of this work was to determine the effects of heat treatments on the detection and toxicity of ricin added to milk- and soy-based infant formulas. Reconstituted infant formula powders containing 100 mug of ricin/mL were heated at 60-90 degrees C for up to 5 h. The heat-treated formulas were analyzed by ELISA to determine levels of ricin. The residual cytotoxicity of ricin-containing infant formula after heat treatments was determined using RAW264.7 mouse macrophage cells. The ELISA and the cytotoxicity assay indicated that ricin detection and toxicity decreased with increasing heating times and temperatures. Minimal losses in detection and toxicity were found for ricin heated at 60 degrees C for 2 h. The half-lives of ricin cytoxic activity in a milk-based infant formula at 60, 70, 75, 80, 85, and 90 degrees C were >100, 9.8 +/- 0.5, 5.8 +/- 0.9, 5.1 +/- 0.7, 3.1 +/- 0.4, and 1.8 +/- 0.2 min, respectively; the comparable values for a soy-based infant formula were >100, 16 +/- 1.6, 8.7 +/- 1.2, 6.9 +/- 1.1, 3.0 +/- 0.4, and 2.0 +/- 0.3 min. ELISA detection was a good indicator of the cytotoxicity of heat-treated ricin. The results indicate that ricin is a relatively heat stable protein and may remain toxic under some food processing conditions.  相似文献

The ability of alphas1/beta-casein and micellar casein to protect whey proteins from heat-induced aggregation/precipitation reactions and therefore control their functional behavior was examined. Complete suppression (>99%) of heat-induced aggregation of 0.5% (w/w) whey protein isolate (pH 6.0, 85 degrees C, 10 min) was achieved at a ratio of 1:0.1 (w/w) of whey protein isolate (WPI) to alphas1/beta-casein, giving an effective molar ratio of 1:0.15, at 50% whey protein denaturation. However, in the presence of 100 mM NaCl, heating of the WPI/alphas1/beta-casein dispersions to 85 degrees C for 10 min resulted in precipitation between pH 6 and 5.35. WPI heated with micellar casein in simulated milk ultrafiltrate was stable to precipitation at pH>5.4. Protein particle size and turbidity significantly (P相似文献
