Abstract:
This study investigated the effects of formulation and ultrasound on the processing properties and nutrient digestion of soy protein isolate (SPI)-egg white protein (EWP) emulsion gels. The incorporation of EWP significantly improved the texture properties and freeze-thaw stability through disulfide bonds and homogeneous networks in comparison to SPI emulsion gels. However, swelling ratio of emulsion gels at SPI:EWP ratios of 3:1 and 2:1 decreased due to disruption of SPI network continuity. After ultrasound, SPI-EWP emulsion gels exhibited higher gel strength, freeze-thaw stability, and swelling ratio. Digestion kinetics showed an increased half-life time of SPI-EWP emulsion gels with no significant difference in PCmax. Flexible proteins could adsorb around small droplets, forming tight interfacial layers and a dense and uniform network according to particle size and Cryo-SEM. This work elucidated the mechanism of performance stabilization and digestion kinetics of SPI-EWP emulsion gels, supporting the design of animal and plant protein complex products.
