Abstract:
The influence of fresh egg white (EW) addition on the quality characteristics and protein aggregation in oat noodles containing wheat flour and gluten was studied. EW addition decreased cooking loss and increased cooking time of 70% oat noodles. The hardness, chewiness, tensile force and tensile distance improved significantly. A smooth surface and continuous protein network were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) after adding EW. After cooking, the peak area in SE-HPLC profile of 70% oat noodles with EW decreased obviously. The extractabilities of protein in sodium dodecyl sulfate containing medium (SDSEP) of cooked wheat and oat noodles under non-reducing condition were lower than those of samples under reducing condition. The protein bands changes in SDS-PAGE profiles showed that EW could induce disulfide cross-linking of proteins in noodles. EW addition promoted proteins interaction and improved the cooking and texture properties of oat noodles.
