Abstract:
Drying critically impacts protein structure and function. Sea buckthorn peptide industrialization is challenged by preserving structural integrity and bioactivity during drying, as thermal and mechanical stresses alter protein properties and flavor. Systematic comparisons of drying methods for sea buckthorn protein hydrolysates are lacking. This study evaluated vacuum freeze-drying (VFD), Spray-drying (SD), and microwave vacuum drying (MVD) effects on sea buckthorn protein hydrolysates (SBP) structure, antioxidant capacity, and flavor. VFD-SBP demonstrates exceptional antioxidant properties (DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging rates of 72.34 ± 4.32% and 81.56 ± 2.99%), augmented amino acid retention capabilities, and enhanced thermal stability, respectively. SD-SBP possessed richer volatiles with a roasted nutty aroma, while VFD-SBP better preserved heat-sensitive flavors, yielding a pea-like odor. In contrast to prior studies limited to single methods or parameters, this work provides a comprehensive multidimensional comparison, and offers theoretical support for the high-value utilization of sea buckthorn protein hydrolysates in functional foods and nutraceuticals.
