Abstract
Mungbean and lentil proteins are gaining attention for the production of high moisture extrusion (HME)-based meat- and dairy-analogues. However, understanding the mechanism of fibrous structure formation and molecular and higher-order changes in HME remains limited. Globulin protein isolates from mungbean (MBPI), green lentil (GLPI) and yellow pea (YPPI) along with commercial soy (CSPI) and yellow pea (CPPI) protein were investigated for their pasting properties using high-pressure rapid visco analyser (RVA), and the formation of anisotropic structures and molecular changes at constant HME conditions. Vicilin-rich MBPI showed higher viscosity on RVA, consumed higher specific mechanical energy (SME) during extrusion, and developed extrudates with higher textural strength and cutting force than proteins with both legumin and vicilin-like globulins, i.e. GLPI and YPPI. Sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) of extrudates' soluble proteins showed dissociation of vicilin-like globulins into their smaller subunits. In contrast, legumin-like globulins were reaggregated into higher molecular weight soluble macromolecules. Further, SDS-PAGE of extrudates’ total protein revealed the involvement of legumin-like globulin in the macrostructure network of the extrudates. During HME, native unfolded structures were destroyed with conversion, predominately driving changes in the tertiary structure (thermal denaturation) and secondary structure with loss of helical structure to formation of random coil and beta-sheet structures. Protein extractability in different solvents was greatly reduced, with covalent and non-covalent interactions being majorly involved in the stabilisation of extrudates structure. Protein composition, and in particular vicilin-legumin ratio and protein conformation, determined the structural development and molecular changes in HME.
期刊介绍:
Food Hydrocolloids publishes original and innovative research focused on the characterization, functional properties, and applications of hydrocolloid materials used in food products. These hydrocolloids, defined as polysaccharides and proteins of commercial importance, are added to control aspects such as texture, stability, rheology, and sensory properties. The research's primary emphasis should be on the hydrocolloids themselves, with thorough descriptions of their source, nature, and physicochemical characteristics. Manuscripts are expected to clearly outline specific aims and objectives, include a fundamental discussion of research findings at the molecular level, and address the significance of the results. Studies on hydrocolloids in complex formulations should concentrate on their overall properties and mechanisms of action, while simple formulation development studies may not be considered for publication.
The main areas of interest are:
-Chemical and physicochemical characterisation
Thermal properties including glass transitions and conformational changes-
Rheological properties including viscosity, viscoelastic properties and gelation behaviour-
The influence on organoleptic properties-
Interfacial properties including stabilisation of dispersions, emulsions and foams-
Film forming properties with application to edible films and active packaging-
Encapsulation and controlled release of active compounds-
The influence on health including their role as dietary fibre-
Manipulation of hydrocolloid structure and functionality through chemical, biochemical and physical processes-
New hydrocolloids and hydrocolloid sources of commercial potential.
The Journal also publishes Review articles that provide an overview of the latest developments in topics of specific interest to researchers in this field of activity.
