Abstract
This study investigates the impact of various salts (NaCl, KCl, CaCl₂, MgCl₂) on gluten aggregation, with an emphasis on the role of high-molecular-weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GS) in modulating these impacts. The results demonstrated that NaCl significantly improved dough springiness and adhesiveness, while divalent salts like CaCl₂ and MgCl₂ had a greater effect on increasing dough hardness, with KCl showing the least impact among all salts. Differential responses were observed in HMW-GS deletion lines, where Bx7 was more responsive to NaCl and CaCl₂, whereas By8 showed stronger interactions with KCl and CaCl₂. The observed reductions in zeta potential and decrements in ionic bond content during salt-induced gluten aggregation supported the ‘electrostatic shielding’ mechanism, with hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonding emerging as key contributors to aggregate stability. Molecular dynamics simulations further corroborated these findings, revealing stronger Coulomb-SR interactions and enhanced binding affinities for divalent ions, in agreement with experimental data. These insights provide a theoretical foundation for optimizing low-sodium formulations in wheat-based products.
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.
