Background
- Bombyx batryticatus proteins (PBB) have potential applications.
- Understanding PBB structural and functional changes is crucial for optimization.
- Ultrasound extraction is a promising technique for protein modification.
Purpose Of The Study
- To evaluate the impact of ultrasound power levels on PBB structure, function, and antioxidant activity.
- To determine the optimal ultrasound power for PBB modification.
- To explore the potential of ultrasound-treated PBB in various industries.
Main Methods
- Proteins were extracted from Bombyx batryticatus using varying ultrasound power levels (0-520 W).
- Structural analysis included assessing secondary structures (β-sheet, α-helix, β-turn).
- Functional properties (solubility, water-holding, emulsification) and antioxidant activities (ABTS, DPPH, hydroxyl radical scavenging, reducing power) were measured.
Main Results
- Ultrasound extraction increased PBB yield and altered protein structure, reducing β-sheet content and increasing α-helix and β-turn.
- Ultrasound treatment improved PBB solubility, water-holding capacity, and emulsification properties.
- Optimal antioxidant activity was achieved at 400 W ultrasound power, with significant radical scavenging and reducing power.
Conclusions
- Ultrasound extraction is effective in enhancing the yield, structural, functional, and antioxidant properties of Bombyx batryticatus proteins.
- Optimized ultrasound treatment can transform PBB into a valuable ingredient for pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food applications.
- This study provides a foundation for further research into the diverse applications of modified PBB.
