Abstract
The interactions between proteins and polyphenols are important to improve the physicochemical properties of proteins and the stability of polyphenols. The effects of non-covalent and covalent complexation of soybean protein isolate (SPI) with soybean isoflavone (SI) on the structure, functional properties and digestive behavior of SPI-SI complexes were investigated. The covalent complexes had higher SPI-SI binding degree as well as lower surface hydrophobicity and free sulfhydryl groups. SPI showed stronger covalent interactions with SI, which formed more flexible secondary structure and looser tertiary conformation. The solubility, emulsification property, antioxidant activity, thermal and chemical stability were enhanced by SPI-SI covalent interactions. The covalent complexation inhibited the gastric digestion of protein and enhanced its digestive stability. It provided a stronger protection for SI during the gastric digestion stage. However, SPI-SI covalent interactions promoted the intestinal digestion of proteins and facilitated the targeted release of SI, leading to the improved bioaccessibility of covalently bound SI. Therefore, the SPI-SI covalent complexes can be used as delivery carriers and functional ingredients in health food.
